Submitting app made in CS5.5 to AppStore Error

I created my app in Flash CS5.5 and compiled and published it without any hiccups. It works great on my iPhone, but when I go to upload my package to iTunes Connect with the Application Loader I get this error "The application wrapper must end in .app." What in the world does this mean? I am submitting my app in a zip with my .ipa, ios_developer.cert, and my mobile provisiong for distribution file. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I didn't think people still needed to do this, but try unzipping the IPA file (it's just a zip file, rename it if you need to in order to unzip it). Then in the Payload folder is the .app file. Compress that file, and use the zip you've made as the submission file.

I also found very useful to create all certificates and make all conversions to .p12 files on Windows machines instead of using keychain. I always run into truoble while using MacOS for this. Here some info from Adobe of how to do it:

You don't need your cert and provisioning profile in the zip when you submit it through application loader.

Sounds like you just zipped up your .ipa file, well that makes sense to all us sane people but not to apple.
