My App when signed becomes a BETA Application

Is this correct?
I cannot upload This file to Transporter and it has a no entry transparent sign on it.
Transporter recognises my IPA file but not the signed App Store certified download.
Any thoughts?

Every time I Sign my app, its either an application file, BETA file but not an IPA file for use on Transporter.
You must have used a development provisioning profile rather than a distribution provisioning profile.

Thank you. Now I understand more.

I hate to bump and old thread, but I'm running into this issue and I never have before. I'm selecting the distribution provisioning profile and I recreated it to be sure. I also purged old certificates and profiles thinking that could be the issue, but no matter what I get .app instead of the .ipa. Has anyone seen that? It sounds exactly like this issue except I see it's a distribution provisioning profile. Thanks.
Are you pressing the "Publish" button on the fireworks screen after signing your app? When signing you get an app file, you need to use that extra and rather poorly signposted button to get an ipa. (You can also make the ipa yourself by, if I remember correctly, putting your .app file in a folder called "payload", zipping the folder, then renaming it to appname.ipa.)

@Armelline You're a lifesaver!
That's exactly what it was and I realize the publish button didn't appear to clearly be a button to me. It's sort of washed out now (turning down brightness helped), but I don't think it was before. Maybe it always was and I knew to press it. For whatever reason I wasn't clicking the actual button lol.
If anyone else is running into this and wondering what's happening Armelline is exactly right. The button isn't super clear but that's the item to click. Despite having done this at least dozens of times I made the mistake. I didn't want to create the IPA manually (which you can do) since I didn't have to before I knew I was missing a step.
Here's an image where I circled the button.

Once upon a time it actually opened Application Loader and put your app in it :D Now it just makes the ipa and doesn't open Transporter, which replaced Application Loader. So it went from easy to miss to pretty difficult to spot :D
