Does temporary removing apps to update ios changes identifierForVendor?

When I want to update my iOS, get this message:

does temporary removing this apps, changes their identifierForVendor?

Because as documentation states, identifier changes when all apps from the same vendor are being reinstalled. If it does, does also UserDefaults gets cleared?

Despite the possible implication with this message, this action does not actually remove the apps and reinstall them. The apps are actually only offloaded, which will free up storage used by the app but keep its existence on the device. This will not result in things like identifierForVendor, push tokens, etc. changing, any app data like documents, and app settings being lost.
