I always get this message when I try to submit my app to the app store.

Here is a picture of the message:

It would be great if someone could help me resolve that problem so I can submit my app to the store.

Try following these steps:

  1. Revoke your existing iOS Distribution Certificate from the iOS developer website.
  2. Generate a new iOS Distribution Certificate by going to XCode Preferences->Accounts->View Details and then clicking the + underneath the list of signing identities.
  3. Go back to the developer website and make sure all your provisioning profiles are configured with the new certificate. (They should all be listed as Active when you are done.)
  4. Go back to XCode and refresh your list of provisioning profiles.

I had the same issue as you did and this resolved it just fine.
