codah Ok break down of things.
It should be a Distribution Certificate
when you are creating your Provisioning files you should select the same Certificate that you created under it.
Also Make sure your Bundle Id is same in all of them and also in your XDK build settings.
Also After you uploaded your certificate close the build settings and upload the provisioning files. Than say build again and make sure you select upload the files again.
Adhoc should be selected in your XDK build settings to test in your iPad. If you select distribution it won't install the iPad or the game won't work.
Good Luck
