It's the nature of certificates. You can have a certificate last a long time but you cannot create a non-expiring cert to my knowledge. Also, keep in mind that as time progresses, encryption algorithms become dated. Malware forces the modification and sometimes the abandoning of what seemed once

Mark, I think we can complain about Apple, but they are going to do what they want. My hope is to make it more clear where we get hung up so hopefully they (whoever writes the docs) can write them in a way that answers the questions we face. I think it’s a big challenge, but it’s the world we l

Bill, Sounds like you’re loading your apps to your iPhone and iPad via the Xcode Devices and Simulators window… apps loaded in that way will cease to work when your provisioning profile expires. As far as I know (and have experienced), that is the “normal” way it works. However, those same app

I write a couple of apps for myself, that run on Apple iPhone and iPad. I have to buy certificates from the Apple Developer site. They stop working after a year. However, some of the apps I get on the Apple store haven’t been updated for more than a year, yet they still work. I wonder if it has

In response to messages on both lists, this is an explanation of the way I’ve successfully code-signed apps for Mac using the simplest possible methods. I’m talking about desktop apps made in LC to run on Mac OSX - I am currently using LC9.0. This seems to work for me (of course YMMV). There are
