certificate expiring soon, do I need it?

Hello,

A while ago, we iOS developers had iOS Developer and iOS Distribution certificates. I still have an active pair. But then Apple moved to Apple Developer and Apple Distribution certificates. Even though I only develop for iOS, I've used those Apple Dev and Dist certificates exclusively with my iOS apps for at least a year now. But I still have all 4 certificates active. The two iOS certificates are about to expire -- Apple sent me a courtesy email notification suggesting I need to do something. But now I'm not sure I need to do anything. Is there any reason why I need to keep active the old iOS Dev and iOS Dist certificates if I'm keeping and using the Apple Dev & Dist certificates?

Best, -- Josh

Assuming you’re using modern tools these platform-specific signing identities are no longer relevant and you can simply rely on Apple Development and Apple Distribution. That’s what I do (-:
