I am working on my first app submission, and at present Xcode's Organizer tab offers "Validate..." and "Distribute..." buttons, but not "Submit..."
When I go to click Validate, it indicates a probable cause: I do not have any (downloaded) signing identities to sign with. I am offered the option to install an identity, but when I select the (one) available identity and click "Choose", Xcode crashes.
Are there any workarounds for this, or things where there might be a wire crossed on my end? Is there a more stable release of Xcode (I'm using 5.0, 5A1413)?
Thanks,
You'll want to go into the iOS Dev Center and create a Distribution provisioning profile. Once that's created and downloaded, it should get rid of the 'No signing identities' issue, which will prevent the crash. (I've had XCode crash there for me as well when I didn't have that set up)
Also, you'll actually never see a 'Submit' button; 'Distribute' does everything you need.
