title: Apple's Problematic Provisioning Portal
body: <p>I have restarted this process about 4 times over the past 3 weeks. I have not succeeded in submitting my app to the store. Please help me! I just started over again tonight, I did it in this order:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Deleted everything referring to the IPhone in my Keychain,</li>
  <li>Redownloaded the Distribution Certificate</li>
  <li>Created a new app id called: com.myapp</li>
  <li>Downloaded the Provision Profile and installed it into XCode.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Please note: I did not install an Entitlements.plist because I was told I didn't need one. Everything is looking good at this point.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Duplicated my "Release" Configuration and renamed "Distribution"</li>
  <li>Under the Configuration of "Distribution", Code Signing Identity, I can see my Provision Profile it actually says: IPhone Distribution: My Name (for Application Identifiers: com.myapp) </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>So at this point at the bottom of the Project Info Window I see this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>The name (“common name”) of a valid code-signing certificate in a keychain within your keychain path.   A missing or invalid certificate will cause a build error.  [CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I realize I haven't altered my bundle name for my app, I change it to com.myapp, warning still doesn't go away. I tried adding in my prefix into the Bundle Identifier like this:</p>
  
  <p>5JSF8843kJJ.com.myapp (for example)</p>
  
  <p>But the error still doesn't go away! </p>
  
  <p>After all this I try to Build and Run on my device anyway thinking it may go away. But I get this error:</p>
  
  <p>The iPod “myIpod” doesn’t have the provisioning profile with which the application was signed.</p>
  
  <p>Click “Install and Run” to install the provisioning profile “myprofile” on “myIpod” and continue running “myappname.app”.</p>
  
  <p>Please Help! I need to get this to work!</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your time.</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: I have fully tested the app and I am ready to distribute, I am trying to get a successful Build so that I can zip up my .app file and submit it using Application Loader.</p>
