I made an error and put an ad-hoc distribution instead of appstore distribution to an appstore approved app.
What are the problems that I might encounter? Will the user who buys the app be entitled to install the app to 100 devices like the ad-hoc distribution? Or is it going to be fine?

You can distribute applications using ad hoc without going through the app store, but you are limited to a maximum of 100 devices. With this method you can distribute your application from a web site, email, etc. The method is for internal distribution in companies with more than 500 employees.
You have to click on the phone in the sidebar so that the window is showing the phone details, then drag the IPA from another finder window into the phone details - The icon will get a green + and you can drop it to install.
A distribution certificate is used to distribute your app for testing and to upload it to App Store Connect. Distribution certificates belong to the team, but only the Account Holder or Admin role can create distribution certificates. There is a maximum limit of 3 iOS Distribution Certificates per account.
Submitting a Certificate Signing Request for Approval Navigate to the Certificates area of the iOS Provisioning Portal and click the Distribution tab. Click Request Certificate. Click Choose File, choose your CSR file, and click Submit. Note: If the Key Size was not set to 2048 bits, the CSR is rejected.
The same thing happened to me, and the app has sold hundreds of copies with no reviews indicating an incorrect profile. I imagine either Xcode or Apple fixed it for us, though I'm not certain how. That said, however, I would update it the next time around.
