On the app bundle id page there is now a section asking for deployment details. It is currently optional but will be required this spring.

"Please provide details about your app and plans for distribution, including distribution volume, distribution method, app audience, and app security mechanisms. Starting spring 2020, this information will be required to create a distribution provisioning profile and must be kept up-to-date in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles."

Is there any additional information about what this information is used for and what the implications are?

I think it's just them gathering info as to how the program is being used. It's probably in response to the public outing of companies that were using enterprise distribution to avoid the App Store terms of service and restrictions.

Does anyone have experience on this topic?

Does setting this required information will cause invalidation of existing certificates (provisioning profiles)?

Thanks

Yeah, wondering the same: does updating this required information:

Invalidate any existing items?
Require updating other items?
Impose recurring required actions (e.g. needs to be done annually, etc.)?

Contacted the Apple support 2 times asking for these details and they never replied.
