Distribution Managed certificate expiring soon but not in Xcode - what to do?
Hi everyone, I am unclear about what steps I need to take regarding one of my certificates. I am a single developer and I have two certificates in my Developer account: one of type "Development", one of type "Distribution Managed". A couple days ago Xcode warned me that one of my certificates will expire soon, and as it turns out, it's the "Distribution Managed" one. At the time I ignored the warning and it hasn't popped up since (I am using managed signing). Since I never updated a certificate before I checked the forum and read that "Distribution Managed" is apparently for Enterprise accounts (which I don't have). Also, when I check Xcode it does not tell me that a certificate is about to expire anymore. In the Signing & Capabilities section the only certificate that is listed is the "Development" one which is expiring sometime next year. I am confused about a couple things: Why does the "Distribution Managed" certificate not show up under Signing & Capabilities in Xcode? I have already submitted the app and released several updates, so publishing definitely works for me. Does Xcode take care of extending or reissuing the "Distribution Managed" certificate for me since I am using automatic signing? Do I simply create a new certificate for Apple Distribution and Xcode handles the rest? Or do I have to actively import the new certificate and then revoke the old one? Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated!
