iTunesConnect API needs to be updated

[qnguyen18]

Environment

• CLI: 8.0.1
• Cross-platform modules: N/A
• Android Runtime: N/A
• iOS Runtime: N/A
• XCode Version: 12.5.1
• Plugin(s): N/A

Describe the bug
cli commands that require connecting with iTunesConnect, such as publishing an iOS app, fails. The cli tries to call this URL:

https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/WebObjects/iTunesConnect.woa/ra/v1/session/webSession

which now throws a 404.

To Reproduce
Publish the app to the apple store, or execute any command that interacts with the AppStoreConnect API.
Example:

ns publish ios
ns appstore

Expected behavior
Running "ns publish ios" should upload the ipa file successfully to TestFlight.

Additional context
This worked around early July, 2021, and broke recently. Apple may have deprecated the API.

work around
Run the Xcode upload command directly in Terminal after the ipa file is generated:

xcrun altool --upload-app -f .ipa -u -p

I'm noticing the exact same thing starting at about the same time. At first the account was having problems even accessing apps on appstoreconnect website. This led me to think that maybe its a problem on Apple's side that may get resolved. That url has been used for a long time and I couldn't find any note that the API was deprecated.

I'm having this exact same issue as reported by @qnguyen18.

I have the same error, some solution?

@DevZatokio see in the issue there's a workaround:

xcrun altool --upload-app -f .ipa -u -p

I was generating .ipa after that, I left xcodeproj, I left the file and it worked for me to load it, I checked it with TestFlight

Any update? I'm using Transporter (Apple's upload app on appstore that replaced application loader) at the moment while waiting for a fix.

Just to help others googling this, the error i get is an empty error like this following after build / export finishes:
The server returned unexpected response:
