Why is the App Store and Ad Hoc button greyed out when I try to create a distribution certificate?

So I am trying to submit my app to the app store. So my first step is to create a distribution certificate. However, it will not allow me to click the app store button (It is greyed out). Why is that?

I've uploaded another app earlier today and it has the status "upload received". I'm not sure if it's because there is a limit to creating distribution certificates while there is an app with this status.

I have 2 distribution type certificate, 1 APNS development and iOS development. I have read that there is a limit of 3 distribution certificates but could not find official documentation stating that. Is this true?

Personally I've only ever been able to create two distribution certificates, so you're probably running into that wall as well. I found another post on StackOverflow here that has some useful information (Apple enterprise program distribution questions). Here's what he said.

Two enterprise distribution certificate can be created at a time.

I can't find any official documentation though :P
