Renew / Revoke ios distribution certificates - effect on ad-hoc users

Question

My distribution certificate is about to expire and I would like to know:

If I revoke it and create a new one, will my current testers' apps stop working?

These testers are using a version of the app build with an ad-hoc provisioning profile. These are not app-store version, but test version.

I'm assuming they will continue to work normally since the certificate isn't validated every time they use the app, but I want to be sure before I revoke it.

Answer 1

The version on their devices will run until the installed profile expires. It should only affect applications that are not installed yet and will be installed by the old ipa. Only the new ipa with the new profile is able to be installed after rejection.

So far my experiences with it
