Error when archiving app for distribution

Question

Hey guys here is a bit of info about my problem
Basically I’m getting an error when I try to archive my app for distribution. The error has to do with my certificate/distribution/provisioning profile(s).
Here's the error:
Command /usr/bin/codesign failed with exit code 1
If anybody has any pointers, would be highly appreciated.
Cheers all

Note that 'Command /usr/bin/codesign failed with exit code 1' is a generic error. There can be any number of reasons that can can combine in any number of ways to cause it.
No one can pick your issue apart based on that error alone. You'll waste timing trying this and that, only to wind up back at TN2250, which is flatly your best resource.
I can't emphasize enough that you need to follow it to the letter. A hit/miss trail/error approach WILL dig a hole that you'll never get out of and I suspect you're there now. Visit the iOS Dev Center to witness thread after thread and to see that you're just spinning your wheels otherwise.
Your best approach now is to houseclean and start over. Then step thru TN2250, stopping when you don't understand any step and asking specific questions about it - use the iOS Dev Center forums.
