My distribution certificate is expiring on coming week, along with all of my provisioning files.
How do I properly renew it? Should I revoke it now and request a new one? If I do that they will all my live apps be taken down?
The Apple MDM push certificate is valid for 365 days.
If your certificate expires, passes that are already installed on users' devices will continue to function normally. However, you'll no longer be able to sign new passes or send updates to existing passes. If your certificate is revoked, your passes will no longer function properly.
iOS settings.Click Apple certificates. The current certificate details are displayed: the unique identifier (UID), the Apple ID, and expiration date. Click Renew Certificate.
How do I properly renew it?
Just Edit and get the updated certificate to use.
Should I revoke it now and request a new one?
No need.
If I do that they will all my live apps be taken down?
Have no effect for the live apps.
If your developer certificate is expired soon then you need to renew the developer account.
As you annual subscription is not expired, your app will be alive in the App Store.
The distribution certification is just a token for distributing your app with an expiring date.
I don't think you have to do anything until you distribute your newer version of your app. It will be automatically revoked for sure. And you may have to log in again and activate again before your next distribution.
