I created an iOS test flight build using Fastlane, and I got this strange error, not sure why because it was working fine yesterday and now without any change in Fastlane configuration it gives me an error while uploading the build to the Apple App store.

errors wordings are as below

Please add the itc_provider along with the apple_id on the below line of code.

upload_to_testflight(skip_waiting_for_build_processing: true, apple_id: "APPLE_ID",itc_provider:"ID")

If you are on multiple App Store Connect teams, deliver needs a provider short name to know where to upload your binary. deliver will try to use the long name of the selected team to detect the provider short name. To override the detected value with an explicit one, use the itc_provider option.
