so I can't seem to publish apps, this is what I do and I want to know what I am doing wrong.

1)I go to iOS Provisioning Portal and create a new app id and provisioning for my app.
2)I download the provisioning thing for my app and click it and install it (using xcode organizer onto my ipad)
3)I publish my app via gamesalad making sure to select the provisioning profile created in step 1.
4)I save my app to my desktop that gamesalad gives back.
5)I go to itunes connect and click manage apps
6)I add an app and fill out all the information, categories, screenshots, icons, etc. (ALL AGAIN!)
7)I then downloaded application loader and chose the app name from the drop down list (I don't know how it knows the name of the app, maybe from installing the provisioning profile? idk)
8)I click next and it shows all the information about the app, then it has a button that says CHOOSE
9)I click CHOOSE and locate the file gamesalad gave back in step 4, which isn't selectable!
10) I then compress (zip) the file gamesalad gave back in step 4 and then it IS selectable.
11) I then get an error saying "Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate"

HOW THE HELL DO I PUBLISH IOS APPS? this is making me soo incredibly mad and stressed out! why is it this hard to publish an app?

    the other certficate you need. In provisiong portal under certificates there will be a link that says if you havent allready download wwdc download here

    oh, yes I have that installed.

    also should I be compressing (zip) the file gamesalad gives me when I publish?

    wait, do I have to sign the app using xcode and plist? or something? how do I do that?

    Try one of these:
    1) Have you made a certificate for both Development AND Distribution?
    2) The Provisioning profile you made HAS to be distribution.

    You know I see everyone saying that is needed but when I changed to my new mac I couldn't publish until I deleted the WWDC. And I don't have it installed now. I've submitted all of my apps to apple without it too.

    I just made one for the distribution but it says "cannot be installed on devices" so what do I do with it?

    idoistuff,
    have you watched any of tshirtbooth's video tutorials where he actually explains the process in detail?

    You may search youtube for his channel to find additional ones if needed.
