IOS Distribution certificate expiring - Issue updates to existing applications

Question

I have a paid application in the App Store . Recently i got an email saying that my distribution certificate is expiring and needs to be renewed.
The Email was :
This certificate will no longer be valid in 30 days. To create a new certificate, visitCertificates, Identifiers & Profiles in Member Center.
My question is, after i renew it either by waiting the whole 30 days and then renewing it or by revoking it and requesting a new one, can i issue updates to the already present applications once i renew it? and how?

Answer 1

Sure - either option is fine - either let it expire or renew now. You won't be able to submit any updates with an expired cert, but once renewed you are good to go. No problem updating already existing apps with the new certificate.
