How to solve “Application failed codesign verification” when uploading to iTunes Connect?

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.
