Xcode 5 - Can no longer validate archives

Make sure that the bundle identifier in Xcode matches your App's bundle ID in iTunes connect.

It looks like Apple disabled the ability to validate with just an ad hoc provisioning profile in XCode 5.

If you wish to validate an app that is intended only for Ad Hoc distribution, you must also have an App Store provisioning profile for the app too, against which to validate it.
