    Does anyone have a VERY SIMPLE BASIC TUTORIAL FOR DUMMIES on how to submit an app on iOS? I'm trying but always fails the certification, and I have NO CLUE what I'm doing wrong (I think I did everything correct but validation always fails).

    Also when I upload the CSR file on apple developer to generate a certificate, I see the "loading..." image that takes forever. Is normal? Seems like frozen to me...

    (probably Apple has stopped their server because I was about to submit a game!)

    Just to double-check, are you trying to submit from within XCode? never had [many] problems doing it this way. You need to create an archive build which you'l then find in the Organizer window, and you can do validation there without having to upload first, then submit, assuming it passes. If it doesn't pass, it tells you why.

    Other than that...

    What reason does it give when validation fails? From memory it is very fussy about the icons you need to add your your XCode project. I think the last time I did it a couple months ago I had to add the same icon in at least four different sizes with specific filenames before it stopped complaining.

    Also, did you create your app in iTunesConnect? Make sure the settings in your project perfectly match; i.e. it should be com.winterwolves.gametitle, and I'm sure it's case-sensitive, too. Just to add to the confusion.

    Yes through with Xcode. Actually seems like something is totally f... up. The error message I get while validating is:
    "Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an iPhone Distribution Certificate."
    OBVIOUSLY, I AM USING A DISTRIBUTION CERTIFICATE :D I'm not so dumb lol

    Googling around, seems I am not alone. People having lots of troubles with some INSANE solution to that problem :|

    Seems like it's not my destiny to have anything there, every time I tried to submit with different computer/devices I always had totally crazy error without any apparent solution... BAH

    Yes, I am doing all those processes, but still get that message. Tried revoking / rebuilding the certificates again without luck. I have honestly no clue what I'm doing wrong, because I don't think I'm doing anything wrong :|
