** I recently completed my app and tried uploading the IPA to the Apple App Store first using the Expo command line tools, then using the Transporter app. Both ways I got the following error: **
“Unable to process validateMetadata request at this time due to a general error (1019)”
I’m going to paste the error log below. I have no idea where to even start with diagnosing the problem. I called Apple support and they told me I have a problem with my binary, but that wasn’t very helpful to me. If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated!

Failed to upload the standalone app to the App Store.
We recommend using Transporter.app instead of the expo upload:ios command if you have any trouble with it.
