Invalid iPhone Application Binary

Question

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. T

I had the same problem. I was ready to throw in the towel on this problem but I figured it out when I went to check in my code using Murky. I always skim the diffs on the files that changed before I check in. When doing so this time I noticed that the project.pbxproj file had changed....and in the Distribution section the entry for “PROVISIONING_PROFILE[sdk=iphoneos*]” was blank.

Quiting and restarting Xcode didn't work for me. Instead, I went into both my project and target settings and changed the code signing to directly select my Distribution profile rather than relying on the auto-select feature. Doing this caused the project.pbxproj file to populate with the correct values even though the auto-select feature supposedly selected the exact same profile that I selected manually.
