NOTE: We finally uploaded the app but we didn\'t really troubleshoot this issue so I would appreciate if someone could share some valuable insight or experi
After having the same issue I've been able to fix this issue.
To solve this issue you need to:
Go to page 6 "System and Network Requirements" from https://itunesconnect.apple.com/docs/UsingApplicationLoader.pdf
verify that all of the ports and IP addresses are accessible.
After opening all of the ports from the table, I'm now able to upload my apps.
Enjoy!
I had the same problem when using my company's network because we use a proxy and due to security reasons all the needed ports and IPs reported on the official documentation were blocked. After switching to an external network without proxies, I was able to upload my new app.
