ERROR ITMS-9000: Invalid Code Signing

Question

For an Adobe AIR app (which is published since over a year in Apple App Store) I'm trying to submit an update using Application Loader, but get the following error:

ERROR ITMS-9000: "Invalid Code Signing. The executable 'Payload/XXX.app/XXX' must be signed with the certificate that is contained in the provisioning profile." at SoftwareAssets/SoftwareAsset (MZItmspSoftwareAssetPackage)

The app has been created with Flash Builder 4.7 and Apache Flex 4.11.0 and AIR 4.0:

The app compiles and runs at my test device (iPhone 5c) just fine.

Why is it rejected by the Application Loader?

It could be something minor, like a missing icon or splash image...

Of course I have tried the obvious several times and revoked/created new certifcates and created new distribution provisioning profiles for the App Store.

Below is the excerpt from my XXX-app.xml:

You need you use the AIR 4.0 beta (selectable form the installer AIR menu).

One of the fixed issues is: Bug 3686074: [APPLE][XCODE5] New apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with the latest version of Xcode 5 from Feb1
