Hello all,
The company I work for has an enterprise app developer program subscription, which is due to expire on 8th Oct 2015. Consequently our enterprise distribution profiles for our apps are valid until 8th Oct also. We've just renewed it now, about 3 weeks early, in order to prepare and re-distribute the in-house apps they have with a new provisioning profile valid through to Oct 8th 2016.
However - I noticed that if I go in and generate the new in-house distribution profile *now*, it isn't valid through to 8th Oct 2016 - but exactly one year from today (14 Sep 2016). This strikes me as a bit strange, as if I redistribute the app now, we're going to have to create another profile, rebuild and re-distribute the apps again at some point to make it valid through to the 8th Oct 2016. Either that, or we will have to renew the program even earlier next year and have a very narrow window for updating the apps.
Is there something I'm missing here? Why doesn't it make the provisioning profile valid through until when the program membership expires - even if it is over a year away?
Would like to hear others handle this. This is the first time our program has come up for renewal, so haven't been through this before.
Cheers,
Corey.
