Uploading apps now that Application Loader has disappeared

How does one upload apps to the App Store now that the Application Loader program seems to have vanished?

Fortunately for now the following command worked for me:

xcrun altool --upload-app --type ios --file "path/to/application.ipa" --username "YOUR\_ITMC\_USER" --password "YOUR\_ITMC\_PASSWORD"

I created a specific app password for the Apple ID I use to mange the AppStore Connect account. Irritatingly the command seems to offer no output until it completes or fails, so it may be worth adding the verbose flag in there as well. I was sat there for a couple of minutes wondering if it was even running.

Could we have the above command added to the simulator to smooth the experience out?

There is another thread on this. It would be great if you shared this there:
