Apple blocks IPA uploads via app-specific passwords with error -22938

Around October 28, 2026, Apple stopped accepting IPA uploads authenticated with an Apple ID and app-specific password, returning error -22938 at the gateway instead of JSON. The documented workaround is the App Store Connect Build Uploads API with an API key (JWT) and chunked 5 MB uploads.
