This is incorrect. You can use XCode to upload your app, but you can also use Application Loader as well. I noticed that both apps use a different way of submitting to iTunes Connect. Using XCode, I couldn't submit my apps, but it works when I use Application Loader.
Here's more information:

And a link to a DMG for you:

From what I've researched, using Application Loader is faster/more reliable than XCode.
