When a Distribution Certificate is about to expire, you must create a new certificate and then create new App Store and Ad Hoc Provisioning Profiles that use the new certificate. These files are uploaded to the mag+ Publish portal where you then rebuild your app and submit an update to iTunes Connect.
This article will walk you through creating a new App Store Distribution Provisioning Profile with your new Distribution Certificate.
Before You Begin
- Make sure you have created and installed a new Distribution Certificate and exported it as a .p12 file (for more information, read the article "iOS - Renewing a Distribution Certificate.")

Certificate Renewal: Next Steps
After uploading your new App Store Provisioning Profile, you will now need to generate a new Ad Hoc Provisioning profile that uses that certificate. An Ad Hoc Provisioning Profile lets you install your app on private devices for testing prior to making it live.
