IOS Certificate not generated with CSR message

I'm working on a Mac and followed the instructions to create a CSR, download it and generate an IOS and ad hoc certificate. In the XDK build tab, option 1a shows my CSR has been created and asks if I want to download it. When I go to option 1b and browse to my certificate, it says "The certificate was not created with the Certificate Signing Request." 

Is the XDK using some different CSR? If I selected download in step 1a did it overwrite my CSR with some other one it created. I understand certificates pretty well, but don't know what XDK is doing with them.

You should not browse the CSR that u downloaded in 1A

You have to upload the CSR that you downloaded in 1A to apple developer site to generate and download the actual certificate to upload in 1B.

Here is step by step instructions:

Thank you for the reply, but that is not the issue. I followed those instructions, I created and downloaded a CSR through Apple, and uploaded it to Apple to create the digital certificate I downloaded and installed the digital certificate .cer file to my Mac. When I attempt to upload that digital certificate in step 1B of the XDK build, it tells me the .cer file was not created with my CSR. I only have one CSR that I know of, and I DID use it to create the digital certificate, so I don't understand the issue, or have a clue how to resolve it.

Since you are on a Mac you do not need to use the step 1A in the build screen (you can if you like, but it is not necessary with a Mac). Instead, ignore step 1A on that screen and just follow the instructions on step 1B and upload a P12 file. See these instructions https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/articles/walkthrough-export-p12-file, which are linked to in step 1B.
