On apple dev site in the news section here you can find two announcements about their renewal of:

USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate.

Context: now, I have an app delivered via in-house distribution due to Apple developer Enterprise program. My app uses push notifications, but we are using auth tokens.

Should I do something on the app?
Should I advice backend colleague to check or do something server-side?

below you can find the two announcements:

hi @wasim@vervemobi.com no, but on stack a user directed me to this answer link stressing following section:

What specifically needs to be done to install the new certificate to the Trust store will be different for all kinds of OSs and may also be different based on the push application you are using. This is something your server admins will know and should be able to check and configure as necessary.
