If I'm in the wrong place to get support for Transporter, please let me know where to get support. I'm starting here because I'm trying to get na app update to TestFlight.

I upgraded to Catalina and the upgrade process changes my home folder from

/Matthew/

to

/Matthew 1/

I didn't think much of it and didn't care until I ran into a build dependancy that needed the clang compiler. The clang compiler does not know how to handle the space in the home folder name.

I renamed my home folder using Apple's recommended method from a new Admin account. I only had trouble with one app and had to remove a few development related caches.

I have successfully uploaded many app updates to TestFlight from this computer with my current setup prior to renaming my home folder. I now get the following two errors:

Resolver: Install error - org.apache.httpcomponents.httpcore Exception's name: java.io.IOException, Exception's message: Error accessing file:/Users/Matthew%201/Library/Caches/com.apple.amp.itmstransporter/obr/2.0.0/org.apache.httpcomponents.httpcore-4.4.11.jar

could not find the service with interface (com.apple.transporter.osgi.TransporterService)

I'm assuming the second error is related to the first. The path /Matthew%201/ is obvously looking for my old home folder name. What is storing that and how do I resolve this?

I'm going to answer this myself in case anyone needs it. I found the files eventually. I had to, an app update was depending on it.

~Library/Caches/com.apple.TransporterApp

~Library/Preferences/com.apple.TransporterApp.plist

~Library/Application Support/com.apple.TransporterApp

Same issue here as well, and I don't see how to solve this with those files.

In my case the problem was the following pesky file which had the invalid directory reference:

`./System/Volumes/Data/Users/jenkins/Library/Caches/com.apple.amp.itmstransporter/obr/2.0.0/repository.xml`

I just deleted ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.amp.itmstransporter entirely and this solved it for me.

Thanks to everyone in this thread for hunting down this mystery.

Hello, i'm having the same problem. I renamed my home folder from oldname to newname. Then I couldn't upload app using XCode or Transporter.
The error message is :
Error accessing file:/Users/oldname/Library/Caches/com.apple.amp.itmstransporter/obr/2.0.0/org.apache.httpcomponents.httpcore-4.4.11.jar.

How can i change the caches directory to newname/Library/Caches?

Anyone can help?

cleardemon's solution worked for me as well and it's probably also the easiest one.

I seem to be running into the same error, but I can't find the files mentioned above. Any tips? Thanks!

Update: Was able to locate com.apple.amp.itmstransporter and deleting the file entirely worked well for me
