No Identities are available for signing in Xcode 5

I have followed every direction given here but in-vain.

Created/Added distribution provisioning profile (1000 times) Deleted and created certificates. Added them to keychain. Create distribution profile using new certificate.

I get no warning or error when i build the app. It is only when i am trying to archive the app to create ad-hoc distribution i get No Identities are available for signing warning. If I try use download Identities, Xcode crashes.

This started to happen ever since I upgraded to Xcode 5.

Certificate as well as profile have Valid status. Also I made sure to pick correct distribution provisioning profile under code signing identity for both target and project.

Here is one of the links i followed.

Xcode 5

1) Recreate the distribution profile in developer.apple.com with a different name.

download / open

cmd + , - > preferences > accounts > view details > sync /refresh

3) under the Build Settings

Provisioning profile > Release > Select the new Provisioning profile.

Above - in code signing identity and it should magically appear.
