Application Loader stuck at “Authenticating with the iTunes store” when uploading an iOS app

This only started happening to me today (May 2017) and no answers in this thread solved my issue. The resolution for me was from here;

Open Terminal. Change to home directory,

cd ~  

Move the current transporter directory,

mv .itmstransporter/ .old_itmstransporter/ 

Invoke the following file to let Transporter update itself.

"/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application Loader.app/Contents/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter"

Wait till it updates, then open Xcode and attempt upload.
