No identities are available for signing Xcode 5

Question

All you need to do is:

1. go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles in the Developer Center

2. create a new provisioning profile in "Provisioning Profiles" / "Distribution"

3. download the profile and open it

4. restart Xcode

Please make sure you are using distribution provisioning profiles, rather than Development. And the code sign setting in Xcode is compatible with the distribution provisioning profiles.

The validation process does not work with Ad-hoc profiles. Need to create a Distribution provisioning profile. It is not specified in the instructions for beta testing. I agonized all day until realized.

Use the Application Loader (Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> Application Loader).
