I am pretty new to IOS development and honestly don't know much about certificates, except for the part that they are needed for the application to be posted on Apple store.
My company has few apps on Apple Store, and I got an email saying, "Your Apple Push Notification Service Certificate will expire in 30 days.", for one of the applications.
Now, I am not sure how to renew this certificate.
Here is what I did...
And Now, I am not sure what to do..
Please see the screenshot below, to see where I ended up..
And from here.. What do I do?
The certificate didn't expire yet, so can I renew it right now? or should I wait for it to expire? If i can do it right now, what do I do? Click on Create Certificate and create a new one? How do I do it?

Click Apple Push Certificates portal. In the new tab, sign in to the Apple portal with the Apple ID and password you used when you created the certificate. Next to the certificate you want to renew, click Renew and accept the terms of use.
They expire one year after creation and must be renewed in order to let you send in-app notifications to your end-users. One month prior to expiration, the iOS Dev Center and the mag+ Publish portal will email a warning to your associated brand admin.
Like Push certificates VoIP certificates cannot be renewed, you have to create a new one. VoIP notifications will not work, if your VoIP certificate is expired or you revoke it. If you create a new certificate, you need to deploy the new p12 on server side.
APN certificate(s) downloaded from Apple only have one year validity from the date it was created. Ensure that the managed iOS devices do not have to be re-enrolled into TMMS for Enterprise when an APN certificate expires after a year.
Just generate a new certificate and replace the old one.
As a side note: when your existing APNS certificate expired, if your server still uses it - existing iOS applications will not be able to receive any notifications from your server. But as soon as you regenerate certificate and update your server to use it - everything will be normal again without any changes to already installed apps.
