Uploading archive error: “Missing iOS Distribution signing identity for …”

The issue is because the Apple WWDRCA expired today (Feb 14, 2016): https://developer.apple.com/support/certificates/expiration/

Open Keychain Access, and in the menu, click View -> Show Expired Certificates. Then, delete the expired Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certificate Authority from both the login and System Keychains. Install the renewed certificate from Apple by downloading from https://developer.apple.com/certificationauthority/AppleWWDRCA.cer and then opening it.

Also, you might need to restart Xcode to reflect the changes. Then, clean and build your project then re-try generating your archive.

Your keychain should show like that
