An error occurred while trying to call the requested method validateMetadata. (1272)

I'm getting this error when attempting to upload an iOS app to iTunes Connect. I've tried using Transporter, and get the same result.
I've also tried uploading a new version of an app that uploaded correctly in November and got the same result.
Does anyone have any suggestions for possible causes for this error?


thanks,

We are getting the same error.

I believe Apple is having some issues.
