IOS Distribution certificate expiring - Issue updates to existing applications

Viewed 4643

I have a paid application in the App Store . Recently i got an email saying that my distribution certificate is expiring and needs to be renewed.
The Email was :
This certificate will no longer be valid in 30 days. To create a new certificate, visitCertificates, Identifiers & Profiles in Member Center.
My question is, after i renew it either by waiting the whole 30 days and then renewing it or by revoking it and requesting a new one, can i issue updates to the already present applications once i renew it? and how?

It is possible to create new distribution (and also development) certificate directly in Xcode.

  1. Choose Xcode > Preferences.
  2. Click Accounts at the top of the window.
  3. Select the team you want update, and click Manage Certificates...
  4. Press the + button and choose iOS Distribution
