To use the Transporter there is a very vague documentation in apple help website (I will not post the link because my account is new, avoiding stackoverflow tagging it spam post linking urls), you can find it easily. I copied pasted its content, and writer says it is about 325 pages!

I run it through AI and it said:

The Transporter guide does not itself provide the full XML structure for the metadata.xml file. You must refer to the separate App Metadata Specification. This specification used to be linked in the Transporter guide, but it appears Apple has changed the way it provides this information.

WHAT I NEED HELP FOR? I would like to know if someone can find (either by checking their apps on mac/xcode/transporter) or by any other means, from their experience and knowledge, anything) what is the structure of the metadata.xml file that needs to be created in order to be able to:

Use transporter on windows.

The documentation says Transporter needs a .itmsp folder, inside which you put the .ipa file (app), aswell as the metadata.xml

The problem relies in the structure of that xml, I did not find anywhere any reliable useful info related to that. I actually found a 2014 page about its structure but for sending screenshots or something like that I don't remember, not for sending apps (.ipa)

Anywone can enlighten this problem please? Is it really difficult to find a solution, surprisingly.

By the way, Why is this transporter important? Answer => It is used to identify precise problems with the app bundle, whereas sometimes the store will not tell you what is the exact problem (for example you get the error "Invalid Binary" and you have no idea what is the cause), this transporter is supposed to find any problem. The thing is but I don't have a mac, so I am trying to run Transporter on windows, I believe on mac the Transporter does not ask you to make the xml structure yourself and it is made automatically instead? and it is part of Xcode I think? If anyone can investigate (their files on mac) or anywhere else, that would be very helpful. Thank you

I was expecting to run the Transporter without any error, but it keeps telling me there are pronblems with my xml, either the tags of the xml, or things missing. I am trying to find the true xml structure. Please help.
