I had this problem once over the summer and was able to get past it by reordering my JRE's in Java Preferences. Today I got this error while trying to submit an app, but now Java Preferences is gone. I suspect it's related to Apple's recent removal of the Java Plugin from OSX.

My default java /usr/bin/java was using 1.7 at the time

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_04"

I checked in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions, and all of the links were dated Oct 18:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   10 Oct 18 09:57 1.4 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   10 Oct 18 09:57 1.4.2 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   10 Oct 18 09:57 1.5 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   10 Oct 18 09:57 1.5.0 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   10 Oct 18 09:57 1.6 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   10 Oct 18 09:57 1.6.0 -> CurrentJDK
drwxr-xr-x  8 root  wheel  272 Oct 18 10:00 A
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    1 Oct 18 09:57 Current -> A
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   59 Oct 18 09:57 CurrentJDK -> /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents

I changed Current to link to CurrentJDK:

sudo rm Current

sudo ln -s CurrentJDK Current

And checked the version

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_37"

At this point, I was able to submit to the App Store from Xcode again.
