Upload iOS App to AppStore using port 443

Question

I am trying to upload our apps from command line using altool. Since our firewall blocks some ports, I want to transfer the files in "DAV" mode using HTTPS on port 443. If I do that manually using ApplicationLoader GUI, I can set a parameter for that. Does anybody know the correct parameters for altool?

The documentation does not mention anything about that. https://itunesconnect.apple.com/docs/UsingApplicationLoader.pdf

Currently I am using the following command (which does not work, because altool can't access the Apple server on the default port):

altool --upload-app -f file -u username [-p password] 

Best regards

Answer 1

This seems to be unofficial way as of today, we are able to transfer in DAV with setting UserDefaults key ITunesTransport for altool like following:

defaults write com.apple.itunes.altool ITunesTransport DAV

Or, directly append it as altool command line arguments like following:

altool --upload-app -f file -u username [-p password] -ITunesTransport DAV

It is working with Xcode 10 in our firewall.
