iOS Question IOS Distribution Certificate & Apple Push Service Certificates

[Marcos Alves]

Hello,

My subscription in Apple Developer Program is being renewed next 25th and I noticed that the IOS Distribution Certificate and Apple Push Services are expiring at this date. How to do the certificate renew? Do I need to recompile IOS apps and submit again? Is there any tutorial about the best practices to do the required procedures?

Thanks!

No.

Nothing special is needed. Follow the same tutorial and create new certificate + PP: Creating a certificate and provisioning profile

Thanks @Erel . But what I didn't understood is: the .cer file associated to the apps are expiring (one year). The apps were compiled using a certificate that is expiring... then, the .cer isn't "attached" to the apps when compiling? Its expiration doesn't mean the expiration of apps or just generating a new certificate in apple store will automatically "resign" the apps ?
By the way , I followed this: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/renew-ios-distribution-certificate.124892/#post-779975, worked - recompiled and uploaded new apps - maybe I did the hard path, but looks that worked at least.
I'm thinking now: Could I only to edit the provision profile of apps, associating to the new .cer? That's it?

You don't need to make any update to the store uploaded apps. They will not expire as long as your account is valid.
