I'm trying to upload an application to the iPhone App Store, but I get this error message from iTunes Connect:

The binary you uploaded was invalid. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate.


Note: The details of original question have been removed, as this page has turned into a repository for all information about possible causes of that particular error message.

It's been my experience that Xcode occasionally gets confused about which signing certificate to use. I got into the habit of quitting and restarting Xcode after any change to the code signing settings (and doing a clean build) to work around this problem.
