This one can means several things.
- Password is incorrect; try re-entering your app specific password.
- Apple service is down; try again later. Check system status developer.apple.com/system-status/.
- Something between you and Apple is blocking access to iCloud; try a different network or check firewalls. Try using the hotspot of your phone if possible.
Your Apple ID account is attached to other iTunes providers.

- Click on the "Edit" button next to the account in the "Submit To Apple" section of that page.
- Click on the triangle next to "More Options".

- Click on "Lookup" and wait, this process can take a minute or two (it is very slow).
- Once done, click on the down arrow of the Combobox next to "Team shortname" and select the appropriate name.
- Click on "Save", then select "Pack" from the "Process" menu at the top of the App Wrapper window.
Sign in with the app-specific password you generated
You need to enter a App Specific password and not your developer ID password.
- Click on the "Edit" button, next to the selected submission account in the "Packing" page of App Wrapper.
- Follow the Apple Guide on creating an App-Specific Password. support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204397
- Once the password has been generated, enter it into the Account Editor of App Wrapper.
- Click the "Verify Account" button to confirm.

Another general error that may have many possible reasons and solutions.
- iTMSTransporter is in a bad state; Restart your Mac
- Apple service is down; try again later. Check system status developer.apple.com/system-status/.
- Expired Apple Developer Account; make sure your Apple account is up to date.
- Characters in the version number; remove any and try again.
- Apple dropped support for iTMSTransporter you're using; Download a newer version of Xcode.

General tips for troubleshooting
If the error message doesn't match any of the above please consider trying these options.
- Check the following page to make sure that the system isn't down developer.apple.com/system-status/.
- Try using a different network incase there's a failure or blockage preventing it from connection on that network. I've use hotspot on my phone a couple of times, because it simply wouldn't connect via my ISP.
- Check and make sure you don't need to sign any agreements.
- Try recreating the app specific password, Apple include a guide here support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204397
