great post + screenshots!

I wrote a simple reusable script for automating this whole process:

including creating a .ipa archive for iTunes installation with iTunesArtwork 512×512 file

First of all, thank you for this superb guide.
In step 5, you say “select the provisioning profile you created in Step 3.” Is this an error? I don’t think a provisioning profile was created in step 3, only in step 4.

My problem is that I have downloaded two provisioning profiles, one for development, and one for ad hoc, and while I have no problems with the development profile, when I try to select the ad hoc distribution profile in the project info in step 5, the distribution profile is greyed out, and it says something like “.” The developer profile is bold and works fine.
Any ideas as to what I should do?
