How to solve "Application failed codesign verification" when uploading to iTunes Connect?
I've got a problem that I couldn't solve with a deep search in different resources as most of the "similar" points out to be an error with Icon.png size, etc...
I've tried to upload my application after verifying that:
- Correctly builds and run on my device
- That my certificates are installed properly
- That my certs / profiles are not expired.
- That the Icon.png has the proper size and format of 57x57 PNG.
- And several other things.
- Ran codesign --verify -vvvv MyApp.app which worked fine.
- My ZIP File was properly done
When I've tried to upload through the iTunes connect interface I got the simple error above, and that's why I tried with ApplicationLoader, to try and find out what's causing the error looking at the console.
The console showed the following:

Any help / feedback or ideas on how to solve the situation would be highly appreciated.
Answer
I found the solution to this problem after deeply looking at the log file.
Although I created my own Distribution Profile and assigned to the CODE SIGNING IDENTITY the correct value for the developer certificate, it didn't work giving me an error: "Application failed codesign verification".
The problem is at the following line:
Authority=iPhone Developer: My Name (XXXXXXXXX)
Despite the correct selection in the project settings for the Distribution profile, XCode was compiling it with the developer certificate.
I finally solved it: Right click on the "Targets" -> Get info -> and there it was selected (don't ask me why) the wrong distribution certificate instead of the right one.
I corrected that and it finally was accepted.
