I too was having a lot of problems with this but finally got it right by following the instructions at https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/mac/documents/submitting.html. For me, though, submitting with Xcode would not work, I think because my application's name has a space in it. So, I ended up using "Application Loader" and tried a few times until it got uploaded properly. But, as far as the signing process goes, I would suggest you read the FAQ about the Mac App Store here: https://devforums.apple.com/thread/75228?tstart=0. Make sure you follow the instructions of question number 8 to the letter. Depending on the version of Xcode you're using, there might be a bug in the signing process.
HTH!
