XCode 4.5 can't validate app?

Question

When I try to validate a app I get this error message:

(null):  Icon specified in the Info.plist not found under the top level app wrapper:  (-19007)
Unable to validate your application. - (null)

Often this is caused by missing/corrupt icon file, but not in this case. I have opened the archive and found the following line in info.plist file in the IconPath list:

Applications/xxxxx.app/_CodeSignature 

This line is not specified in the in-app plist file, and I guess this is the course to the error.

Any idea whats wrong? It's a pretty old project, so something might have changed in xcode.

Any help would be appreciated!

There seem to be a problem with our custom XCode project template. The template dates back to XCode 3.x. New projects created with this template seems to have this problem in XCode 4.5. I moved the files to a new project created with one of Apple's standard project templates and the problem went away.
