title: Apple Developer Program Renewal - Impact on Apps on the Apple Store
body: <p>I've seen similar question but didn't find one that answered fully my questions. Here it is:</p>
  
  <p>My developer program expires in August 2012. I have apps on the App store that have a distribution provisioning profile created with a certificate that expires in December 2012.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>When I renew my developer program in August, will my apps continue to work without me having to take any actions on existing device and also be available on the app store?</p></li>
  <li><p>When my certificate expires in December 2012, do I need to recreate a new certificate, then a new distribution provisioning profile and then re-submit the exact same code to Apple to keep the apps installed working and also so that they are available on the Apple store?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot for your help.</p>
