How to renew an iPhone development certificate?

Viewed 85291

My development certificate has expired. What is the correct method of renewing it? Do you revoke the expired certificate & submit a new Certificate Signing Request? Do provisioning profiles have to be recreated? Are there any side-effects of doing this?

With Xcode 5, following steps:

1) Remove old certificate from https://developer.apple.com

2) Open XCode - Preferences - Accounts - View Details, then click refresh icon in left-bottom

3) Xcode asks if you want to request a new certificate

If the certificate is expired, you can not revoke it. You need to re-create it through the developer program portal.

Once you have your new certificate available, I am not sure if you need to create again the provisioning profiles associated to your previous certificate. I guess you must probably do this (unless the provisioning profiles just use the certificate subject and not the valid from/ to fieds).

To the best of my knowledge, there are no other side-effects.
