I got this error while validating my app. The problem was that the developer account of which I was using the Provisioning Profile was different from that of the account that I was using to validate my app. In simple words: They were two different APPLE IDs.
You need to add the APPLE ID from which you are using the provisioning profile.
Follow the following steps to get rid of this error and add the APPLE ID:
You will see a new Apple ID added in the list of the Apple IDs.
Close the Organizer window. ----> Archive the product again and Validate the app choosing the newly added Apple ID.
For me it helped to upload with the credentials of the account agent. A developer account didn´t work.
I was able to upload by using Application Loader as suggested in iTunesConnect.
Not exactly painless, but it does allow you to build with an iTunes developer account and release from a different iTunesConnect ID.
in my application this issue was coming due to of one error that's i uploaded wrong size image in ipad2x that's 152*152 by 144*144 , but some how i export the build and i uploaded it through application loader. application loader told me abt two warning after uploading the build that was not proper icon size image for ipad @2x and the other was 64 bit warning so i solved the icon problem and now i was abled to validate my app successfully with one warning still that's of 32 bit. if u had repeated the steps like you uploaded the build first from application builder than donot forgot to change build number.
As noted by a few others, I was able to resolve this problem by using the Application Loader rather than xCode to send the iPA file to app store. In my case, both xCode and Application loader were using the correct iTunesConnect account, but for some reason, xCode was failing on submitting this app. I could submit other apps without incident, which led me on a wild goose chase thinking the problem was app specific.
Steps to Resolution were:
Glad to be past this one!
This happened to me because I had a different developer and itunesconnect accounts. Make sure you build app with your developer account and submit validation with your itunesconnect account. That worked for me.
