One thing I'm slightly confused by is permissions. This is a corporate account, and only the account owner has the ability to generate a Developer ID cert. But once the cert (and key) are generated, can a different user (like me) who has admin privileges use them to build an app, as long as they have the key and cert?

Yes, that’s what I do, and it works fine.

Regarding the original problem: Is there a popup menu of signing identities, and if so are there are other identities listed?

The mechanisms seem to change from version to version of Xcode, so my experience may be out of date now, but I ran into a situation where (AFAICR):

— codesign appeared to do an approximate match of the signing identity, either an initial partial match, or a fuzzy match, or something

— Xcode had cleaned up the developer account name (like dropping ‘Inc.’s and punctuation) of the code signing identities.

— The cleaned-up name was ambiguous between two actual developer account names, only one of which had the necessary credentials.

IIRC, what I had to do is go back to the code signing build settings, and choose the exact identity I wanted, rather than the “recommended” choice of letting Xcode pick. (And ditto for the frameworks, I think.)

Seriously, though, for this sort of thing, I strongly recommend calling Developer Program Support (NOT Developer Technical Support) and let them tell you how to fix it. (OTOH, people never seem to believe me that this is easier than banging your head against a blank wall for a few days.)
