iPhone app submitted with developer certificate

I've just accidentially submitted an update for my app via organizer -> distribute, not noticing that my build settings still had the developer certificate set instead of the distribution certificate.

will the update still work on the users devices, or will it fail to install? I did not find any option to reset the submitted app, so I will probably have to wait until its published. Or will it even be rejected for not beeing signed with a distribution certificate?

Though already answered and it is a question asked 12 years ago, I thought I should chip in because I wanted an answer, stumbled upon this question and did my own testing. I hope that people can find out without going through the long way.

It is 2024 now and back in 2012 auto signing is probably not a feature yet. But if you are facing this today, it is likely that the application is signed by a Cloud Managed Distribution Certificate

The caveat here is that you have been given the "Access to Cloud Managed Distribution Certificate" permission in App Store Connect's User and Access. If this not activated, you will get an error.

App Store will likely reject if you have the wrong certificate. Send Connect an email and explain, they're usually pretty helpful.
