Error uploading to iTunes

Hi all,

I’m struggling with getting my app successfully submitted to the iTunes store. This is an update of an existing app and I’ve followed as carefully as possible the steps as outlined in terms of creating/downloading/installing the provisioning profile (distribution) and production certificate.

I’ve cleared out old provisioning profiles and certificates and started from scratch a number of times but each time I get an error on submission. Below is a screen grab of what I’m getting back from Apple. 

It looks from the error that the app isn’t being signed by the certificate but I just don’t get how that can be.

If anyone has any insights, I would be most grateful.

I guess one question I have related to this as whether the second error line (“unable to authenticate…”) is directly related to the 3rd line - or whether it is a separate issue. 

* SOLVED! *

In case this helps any other hapless souls… After hours of struggle, this is what worked for me:

  1. Deleted all existing keys and certs on my dev computer within Keychain Access

  2. Rebooted

  3. Went to Apple dev site and deleted/revoked both my Production Certificate and Distribution provisioning profile.

  4. Started up XCode and went into Accounts under Xcode/Preferences/Accounts and found my dev user account 

  5. Clicked on View Details and then hit the refresh button in the bottom left This brought up a notice saying no certificate was found and did I want xcode to request one. I said yes.

  6. Went into Corona and rebuilt the App, selecting the newly available profile for distribution

  7. Used Application Loader to send to store.

  8. Success!

In retrospect, I think what may have been happening is that xcode was automatically creating a new production certificate so that I had two active (since I had previously downloaded one). That might have created the situation where the provisioning profile was being signed by the wrong one.
