p12 distribution certificate didn't showup in xcode "team"

Before anything else. I did read number of threads here in SO but didn't found solution that can resolve our issue. Most of them is about how to create the distribution certificate.

We have a client and they want there developer account to use use to sign the app to be sent to the App Store. I read here that they can gave us a .p12 distribution certificate which I can then install to our machine.

We were able to successfully installed the .p12 file that they sent and it show up in our Keychain access list. But still in xcode > targets > general > signing > team it didn't show the client's team so I can only select our company's team. But if I go to xcode > targets > build settings > code signing identity > release I can see the installed .p12 certificate in the list. But when I try to archive the app to produce an .ipa file it causes an error "cannot be registered to your development team..."

Shouldn't the client's team appear in team's selection when I installed the .p12 certificate that they sent to use?

EDIT: Is it possible to sign an app with only .p12 provided?

Thanks!

No, for that you’d have to sign into the Accounts preference pane as a member of that team. The client needs to sign you on at the Member Center as a team member so you can do that. That information doesn’t magically derive from the certificate. Indeed, until you are a team member the certificate is useless to you (as you’ve already discovered).
