tvOS: Invalid Provisioning Profile. This provisioning profile is not compatible with iOS apps

Question

When trying to publish to iTunes Connect via a altool for a tvOS app, I'm running into errors.

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application\ Loader.app/Contents/Frameworks/ITunesSoftwareService.framework/Support/altool --validate-app --file "/path/to/MyApp.ipa" -t ios --username [email protected] --password ********
    2015-10-22 09:05:32.175 altool[8567:159593] *** Error: Unable to validate archive '/path/to/MyApp.ipa': (
        "Error Domain=ITunesConnectionOperationErrorDomain Code=1176 \"Unable to process application at this time due to the following error: Invalid Provisioning Profile. This provisioning profile is not compatible with iOS apps..\" UserInfo={NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Unable to process application at this time due to the following error: Invalid Provisioning Profile. This provisioning profile is not compatible with iOS apps.., NSLocalizedDescription=Unable to process application at this time due to the following error: Invalid Provisioning Profile. This provisioning profile is not compatible with iOS apps.., NSLocalizedFailureReason=iTunes Store operation failed.}"
    )

All of the provisioning profiles are correct. I'm running Xcode 7.1 GM Build version 7B91b.

When I do this manually through Xcode it works. The same exact script works for iOS, but not for tvOS.

What gives?

I've managed to figure out a working solution. You archive as normal but instead of submitting to the store via the organiser create the ipa/pkg file by selecting | Export -> Save For AppStore Deployment | once the ipa/pkg has been created upload it via Transporter (new version of Application Loader, you can get it from the Mac App Store)

In Transporter you just log in, then select the ipa/pkg created using Xcode, and voila! it works.
