 * This started since the last update. iTunes Connect shows me this error:
 * `Can’t read your feed. sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building
   failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to
   find valid certification path to requested target`
 * Any ideas on how to determine what change in the plugin caused it?

 * Hi there,
 * I have been largely offline for the last few months and have been unable to help
   out all of this plugin’s awesome users in this forum. I’m sorry if this has inconvenienced
   you!
 * As a result there are a large number of questions here that I just don’t have
   the time to answer effectively. There’s also a very good chance that the majority
   of them are no longer valid as it has been quite a while since they were posted.
 * With that in mind, I’m going to close all of them (including this one), so if
   you still require support then please create a brand new topic and I will respond
   on there going forward, as I have time to do so.
 * Thanks for your understanding!
 * Cheers,
    Hugh
