What happens to Apps when the Distribution certificate expires?

Our distribution certificate expires in mid March. Do I have to re-build all the apps that are on the App Store with the new certificate or will they continue to install without issues?
My gut feel is that Apple would not expect developers to re-submit all their apps just because the certificate has expired but like a confirmation from someone since I am sure many have crossed this bridge.
Thanks in advance.

+>I assume that any new submissions will have to have to be built with a profile which includes a valid certificate.+
Of course....just follow the money
It is a solid process, but of course Apple, like any business that operates around time-based/recurring fees, wants to get the 'subscriber' to re-up sooner than later.
The countdown in the dev center, etc. we see about our 'expiration' date is meant not only as a friendly reminder concerning whatever risk, it is a prod to get whatever monies out of our pockets and into theirs...sooner than later

What happens if Domain Controller server authentication certificate expires?

Dear People,
We have got two Domain controller servers and accordingly two Azman servers. we
have got two certificates issued for each Domain controllers to our two Azman servers. Both these certificates are going to expire in next few days. We have few Web
& Desktop applications for which we authorize a large pool of users with the help of these two Azman servers.
Now, Issue is, Domain Controller certificates are going to expire soon on both Azman servers. Can somebody tell me, what could be impact of expiration of these certificates?
will all the application be down after that? Should I must go for renewal of certificates? Please help me as soon as possible otherwise I will be in big trouble. Thanks.

Hi,
Based on my research, Domain Controller Authentication certificate is used for client authentication, server authentication and smart card logon.
You need to renew the certificates before they expire, otherwise problems about smart card logon and SSL connection will occur.

What happens to RandomAccessFile when seek operation fails?

Hi,
I wonder what happens to RAF when the seek() op fails - does the file remain open?
I guess i should close it if fails, what is the best thing to do - protect or catch exception?
Am i wrong about it?
Thanks.

I wonder what happens to RAF when the seek() op fails - does the file remain open?In the absence of evidence or documentation to the contrary that is what you should assume.
I guess i should close it if failsWhy? All it means is that that offset doesn't exist within the file.

If I've installed an app from the app store and the author's distribution certificate expires, my app will still run or not? Thanks a lot.

If I've installed an app from the app store and the author's distribution certificate expires, my app will still run in my device or not?
For example in the case that the author won't renew the certificate itself, i guess his app will be removed from the app store; but what happens to the apps installed in the devices?
Thanks a lot.

The author's certificate is only used to authenticate the author when the app is uploaded to the app store.
The app is then signed by Apple before being added to the app store.
Nothing will happen to your app except you won't get any updates.
Evertually, iOS upgrades could stop the app from working if you upgrade iOS beyond what the app supports.

What happens if my distribution certificate expires?

What happens if the old certificate expires? Will users be available do download and update my app with old certificate, or will Apple remove my apps until the new certificate is provided?
Do i Need to resubmit my apps on store before it expire ?
Thank you

Apple resigns apps with non-expiring credentials when the app is added to the store.
You don't have to worry about apps already in the store.

It will probably turn into an unusable brick, but that is the risk that you run if you jailbreak your phone rather than having it officially unlocked.
Talk about jailbreaking is prohibited in these forums and is not supported by Apple.

Sounds like you need to ask your question in the developers forums.

Submitting iOS app to AppStore - Distribution certificate?!

I have finished developing the first version of my iOS app, and continued to complete all the necesarry steps in Itunes Connect and began uploading my app through the mac's os AppLoader. What consequently turned out to be the problem is that my app which was published in Adobe Flash Proffesional 6 was configured under a development certificate (in the deployment tab) and not a distribution certificate needed to publish it to the App Store. I generated such a certificate on a Mac and tried using it in my project through Flash 6 on my PC, however a password is needed to publish the app.
I have several questions concerning this issue :
1) Is there a way to generate a distribution certificate on my PC (not through a mac)?
2) these distribution certificates are .cer extensions - in FLASH you are instructed to browse for .p12 certificates.
3) If i can use the distribution certificate created in the mac computer in my project on my Windows PC, where can i figure out the password it requires me to enter?
This is a very frustrating matter, Adobe if you can upload a Distribution Tutorial for Publishing to App Store that would help many people dealing with the same problem...currently there is only a tutorial on how to create a .p12 development certificate...
Thanks,
Roy

1. yes, but it's much more difficult than doing it on a mac. in fact, i believe you will have to emulate a mac to do it.
2. when you create your .p12 file in keychain you enter an password. (there's no reason to use a different passwords for development and distribution.)
Go to the https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action using a Mac computer or a virtual Mac
Log-in.
Click on the iOS Dev Center link.
Click iOS Provisioning Portal link. (See Fig08-04.)
Click the Certificates link in the left panel.
Click the Distribution tab in the right panel.
Click the Request Certificate button in the right panel.
Follow the directions using Keychain Access to create your distribution Certificate. (See Fig 08-05.) Apple has easy-to-follow directions to create a Certificate Signing Request that is used to create your Certificate. The steps needed to create a Certificate Signing Request appear in the right panel after step 7. The only part I stumble on is when instructed to open Certificate Assistant. You will find it at the top left of your Mac's screen after clicking Keychain Access, not in the Keychain Access window.
The right panel should change to show your Certificate is Pending Issuance. Refresh the page and you should see Your Certificate is Issued and read for download. (See Fig08-06.)
Download your ios_distribution.cer by clicking the download button.
Download an AppleWWDRCA.cer by clicking the "*If you do not have the WWDR intermediate certificate installed, click here to download now." link.
Open both files in Keychain Access (using the login Keychain).
Right click your private key in Keychain Access (you may need to expand the iPhone Developer certificate shown in your Keychain Access window) and click Export. Make sure File format is Personal Information Exchange (.p12) and click Save. You will be prompted for a password that you must remember. You will use that password each and every time you publish an iOS game and you will use your .p12 (distribution Certificate) file for all the apps/games you distribute (until your Certificate expires and you pay another $99 and follow these steps again).

What Happens To App Data With A Broken/Lost Pre?

What happens to the data in my applications, like if I had a Quicken type app and I had to Full Erase or got a replacement Pre? I'm guessing that the app would re-download and all my data would be gone.
Can anyone give me some insight as to what happens to app data when your loose or have to erase a WebOS device. And if I'm correct is there anyone working on a solution to backup app data?

If you re-download the apps under a different ID, you'll lose all saved data.

HT201401 My iPhone3GS has started crashing. I'll be mid-phone call, or using an app, when the screen will go dark. I have to restart it. Then it shows low battery sign (even though it was 100%). Within 1 minute of charging, iphone starts. Pl. resolve.

My iPhone3GS has started crashing. I'll be mid-phone call, or using an app, when the screen will go dark. I'll have to do a restart. It dumps to the warning screen that there's no power and needs to be plugged in.
Once I connect the phone to a power source, in a couple of minutes it's ready to roll again, and displaying a "full battery" icon.
The phone is almost always fully charged when this happens, and I don't get a crash when the phone is plugged into a power source.
Took my iphone to apple store, they informed that battery is very good and there is no need for replacement. Might be there is a problem with iphone motherboard. But they can't repair it as my 3GS crossed warranty.
Where should I go to repair this. Within 2 years...this 32GB 3GS is almost garbage for me with no support from apple. I am ready to send it to apple for repairs and pay the repair charges.
I tried everything... deep reset ... factory settings .... nothing is working... Apple staff pl. take care of your customers ...

My iPad has been syncing for 18 hours since I am trying to do the iCloud thing. What happens if I stop the back up process? Getting tired of waiting for it to get done. Could this be caused by the fact that I have 5gb of photos on the iPad ?
