XCode target not displaying Code Signing Provisioning Profile

Hello experts,

I am first time uploading my application on the apple store. I downloaded distribution provisioning profile and placed that into home/library/Mobile Device/Provisioning Profiles.
Opened xcode, created distributed configuration by duplicating release configuration.
changed CODE SIGNING IDENTITY to IPhone Distribution: My company name

next step is to set the CODE SIGNING PROVISIONING PROFILE but xcode not showing this option.

The four options that i can see are:
1) Code signing Entitlements
2) Code signing identity
3) Code signing resource rules path
4) Other code signing flags

NOT the "CODE SIGNING PROVISIONING PROFILE" parameter to set.

What i need to check for this.

I tried to upload my app without this setting but as i expected got the error:

"The binary you uploaded is not valid or it was not signed by Apple Submission Certificate."

Please help me to resolve this.

Thanks in advance.

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.3)

0) Read the docs carefully, make your app look exactly like the screen shots.

1) Drag the distribution provisioning profile onto the Xcode icon, that creates entries in Mobile Devices/Provisioning Profiles.

2) In Xcode set the Active SDK to Device and Active Configuration to Distribution.

3) Set the Bundle Identifier to a valid name, do not use $(PRODUCT_NAME} in case your App name contains spaces or other "funny" characters.

thanks for replying

i checked all the above mentioned steps.

-> My Distibution Profile is present in Mobile Devices/Provisioning Profiles.
-> Active SDK is Device
-> Active Configuration is Distribution
-> Bundle Identifier name is a simple five letter word without white spaces and special characters.

The only thing my application is not having is the "Code Signing Provisioning Profile" option to set in the top-level getinfo window->build.

here i am giving the link of my build settings for Distribution Configuration:

The problem was with the older version of xCode and Iphone Build. I installed the 8th beta version and the xCode is now showing the provisioning profile option.

i'm using xcode 3.1.1 and had the same issue. changing the active sdk to 'Device - iPhone OS 2.1' caused my provisioning profile to appear in the Code Signing Provisioning Profile menu. even if i change the active sdk to anything else (simulator or 2.0), the option now remains in the menu.
