Thanks Colin. It is a bit different than iOS (and I'm not selling in the
Mac App Store either). What I've done at this point is to generate new
certificates for both the Developer ID Application and Developer ID
Installer. There appears to be no renewal capability. I use AppWrapper
to codesign my apps and in looking at the setup, I'm guessing that
Developer ID Installer certificate, while required in AppWrapper, is
only for when you build an installer package (I use a DMG).
I'll have to wait till Wednesday when my old certificates expire to see
if I have trouble with the previously signed apps. If someone knows
anything more, I'm all ears. Hopefully I'm good for another 5 years,
when I'll forget how to do this all over again - I love getting old!

I would think that it’s the same as with iOS. When you go back to
https://developer.apple.com/account/mac/certificate/
<https://developer.apple.com/account/mac/certificate/> after renewing your
subscription it will most likely have an expired certificate. You make a new one,
then go to the provisioning profile for your app, it should show as expired. Edit it
and re-select the certificate, picking the new one.
If the current certificate is still valid for a while you can still edit the
provisioning profile to give it a fresh start.
If you edit a provisioning profile file you should find an ExpirationDate entry
that gives the date it will expire.

I sell and distribute Mac apps from my own website and have the Apple Developer

been notified that they will both expire in a couple of days.
According to the Apple web site, if the Developer ID Installer Certificate
expires, users will *not* be able to install any applications signed with the
certificate. (an expired Developer ID Application Certificate is not a problem
for existing installers).
What I can't seem to find are instructions on *renewing* the certificate. I
found one article that said I needed to revoke the old one and then create a
new one. That makes me a little nervous. Obviously I don't want to screw this
up and have customers going crazy, while I'm frantically trying to figure out
what to do.
You would think that Apple would have an easy Steps 1-2-3 to renew, but I sure
can't find them. Anyone done this recently? Should I revoke the old one or wait
till it expires?
Thanks for any help,
Marty
