Application Loader (Apple) stuck on "Sending API usage to iTunes Connect"

I am submitting an iOS app to the App Store using Application Loader, however, it never gets past the "Sending API usage to iTunes Connect" stage. There is no error - this stage just doesn't complete.

I have verified that the Mac is connecting to the internet (I can visit websites). Also, the app is tiny (6MB) so this can't conceivably just be a long upload. I've tried leaving this for 20 minutes.

The background to this is that I developed in Flash CS5 on a Windows PC, built it for distribution there, and now on the Mac I am loading the final file into Application Loader to submit it. It verifies/validates the file just fine, but won't go beyond this point.

Any ideas anyone? Perhaps it's a network issue?

I had this problem when behind a firewall. I got around it by going to Xcode > Contents > Applications > Application Loader > Contents > MacOS > itms > java > lib - Open net.properties with TextEdit and change the line # https.proxyPort=443 to https.proxyPort=80. This enables the application to use the HTTP port for HTTPS. Worked straight away after this. Hope this helps.
