Many developers will find that Xcode automatically notarizes the app as part of the built-in process for archiving an app for release. For those of us with existing, automated command-line build &amp; release processes, there is a separate guide just for us:</p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/notarizing_your_app_before_distribution/customizing_the_notarization_workflow\">Customizing the Notarization Workflow</a></p>\n<p>The steps for automating notarization involve running the “altool” command from Terminal. Everything in the guide linked above should work perfectly <em>unless you’re a member of more than one development team</em>. If you have more than one team associated with your Apple ID, the back-end at Apple doesn’t know which one it should notarize on behalf of. You’ll see an error message like this:</p>\n<pre>\nError: Your Apple ID account is attached to other iTunes providers. You will need to specify which provider you intend to submit content to by using the -itc_provider command. Please contact us if you have questions or need help.

It’s not listed anywhere obvious on the Apple developer site or in Xcode, and can’t be obtained from <em>the very tool that is asking for it</em>. I came across a message from the ever-helpful Quinn in the <a href=\"https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/350431#350431\">Apple Developer Forums</a>. It details a method for locating the provider ID by running a command-line tool, iTMSTransporter, from deep within Apple’s Application Loader app.</p>\n<p>Application Loader has since been eliminated from Xcode 11, so if you’re running with modern tools, you’ll be hard pressed to find it. Fear not, the binary is preserved deep within the Xcode app bundle itself:</p>\n<pre>\n% xcrun -f iTMSTransporter\n/Users/daniel/Applications/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/iTMSTransporter\n</pre>\n<p>All that said, here is a surefire list of steps for obtaining your ITC Provider ID, or as it’s described in the altool man page, your ASC Provider Shortcode.</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Create a new App-Specific Password from your <a href=\"https://appleid.apple.com/account/home\">Apple ID
