A solution: Rebuild the app extension target from scratch in Xcode.
Someone posted on the stackoverflow.com site that they had solved this by deleting the widget and recreating it with the current version of Xcode. After carefully documenting all the settings I had to make my Widget extension work in an earlier release, I deleted the target and recreated it in Xcode. Took way too long to configure all the details, but it works again as a widget and is accepted by AppStoreConnect upon upload with Transporter.
What is a better solution?
