Answer 1

I had this problem when we tried to upload an app too. We solved it in a way that I still don't understand completely, but I had an App ID that included some kind of ID in front of it like this: XXXXXXXXXX.com.plexical.start.bask. I put that string in my *-Info.plistfile. After having the problem above, I switched from automatic Code Signing Identity to manual and selected the same Distribution as the automatic one. Then I got a readable error from XCode complaining that the App ID didn't match com.plexical.start.bask:

I proceeded to change the App ID to com.plexical.start.bask in the *-Info.plist file and after that I was able to submit the App. I still don't understand completely why, but it worked for me.
