So I am trying to submit my app to the app store. So my first step is to create a distribution certificate. However, it will not allow me to click the app store button (It is greyed out). Why is that?
I've uploaded another app earlier today and it has the status "upload received". I'm not sure if it's because there is a limit to creating distribution certificates while there is an app with this status.
I have 2 distribution type certificate, 1 APNS development and iOS development. I have read that there is a limit of 3 distribution certificates but could not find official documentation stating that. Is this true?

Click on Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. You'll now be directed to the Certificates section. Click on the + button to add a new certificate. Under the Software section, select Apple Distribution or iOS Distribution.
From the computer where the distribution asset was generated, open Xcode. Click on Window, Organizer. Expand the Teams section. Select your team, select the certificate of "iOS Distribution" type, click Export and follow the instructions.
The Ad-Hoc version is the exact replica of the app that will be published to the store. You can download this version directly to your device. This is the version you should use to test before submitting the final version of the app to the store for review.
Personally I've only ever been able to create two distribution certificates, so you're probably running into that wall as well. I found another post on StackOverflow here that has some useful information (Apple enterprise program distribution questions). Here's what he said.
Two enterprise distribution certificate can be created at a time.
I can't find any official documentation though :P
