You don't want to use a certificate that is expired, because it can fail at
various places if anything checks for its expiration date.  Whether it fails
at app install?  I don't care.  This is not a security issue.  Given
certificate expiration is tied to the current running data/time, it is
intrinsically a fragile concept anyway.

Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to
provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.  All such
questions should be posted on public forums, where I and others can see and
answer them.
