Trouble uploading app to app store

I will try to be brief. I am getting this error message:

“Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate”.

here is what I do (have done several times)

  1. Create Distribution certificate with apple.
  2. Create Distribution profile with apple.
  3. Create App ID with apple. Bundle identifier is com.website.appname.
  4. Do the “Build” in Corona Simulator to for Iphone and IOS build. The code signing identity that I created in apple is used. Built for Xcode simulator
  5. This does the compile and brings it up in the IOS simulator and creates the app on my desktop.
  6. I make this app into a binary using the “compress” feature so now it is a zip file.
  7. Bring up Application Loader and select my app which as been set up and choose the binary (zip file) to Send it off.

Then I immediately get the error.

Anyone have any ideas? Creating the app was much easier than submitting it to apple. They make it way more confusing than it should be. Your help
would be appreciated.
