Context:
I am trying to upload a valid signed IPA to App Store Connect. The IPA was generated successfully from Unity/Xcode and can be exported correctly. The app uses CocoaPods and Firebase SDKs (Crashlytics, Analytics, etc.).

The upload itself fails before transfer starts with the following Apple error:

“Deprecated Transporter usage. You are required to use the -assetFile command instead of the -f command with your .ipa or .pkg files. Additionally, to continue uploading apps using the Aspera and Signiant delivery methods, you are required to use Transporter 4.2 or later. (1046)”

It seems the tool still uses the old deprecated `-f` Transporter argument internally.

I tested:

* Darwin Build Environment
* Fastlane
* other Windows App Store Connect upload tools

The IPA itself appears valid and signed correctly, but all uploaders relying on the old Transporter backend now fail with the same Apple message.

I also verified that removing re-signing does not change the issue.
