Ran into this issue today also when trying to create Ad Hoc builds for upload to TestFlightApp. Fixed it by updating the Target - Code Signing Provisioning Profile section. Set the Release Provisioning Profile to point to your Ad Hoc profile. Then when you create a package from the Archive menu item it will use the correct profile for Ad Hoc distribution. This looks to be new in XCode 5.

I ran into the same problem. I spent about 3 weeks on it. I remade my app from scratch. I must have remade certificates and provisioning profiles dozens of times. Everything was case sensitive and matched perfectly. Everything was set in both the project and target sections.

In the end, I decided to skip ad hoc validation and chose a regular distribution profile validation. Then the app finally validated perfectly, no issues.

And when I clicked distribute instead of validate, XCode let me choose the ad hoc profile, and thus far I've been able to beta test smoothly.

In short, I haven't been able to validate with an ad hoc profile, but I've found the way around it. Haven't submitted to the App Store yet, but the fact that I was able to validate with a regular distribution profile gives me hope.

Hope this helped.
