Distribution certificates for iPhone

Question

I have an app at the appstore. Now I want to switch developers. If the old developer won't give me the private key for the distribution certificate, what are my options?

• If I revoke my existing distribution certificate and create a new one, I understand that my existing app in the store cannot be updated.

• On the other hand, if I wait until my current distribution certificate expires, then create a new one, then my app at the store should be updatable?

Please whoever can clarify this issue will be blessed!

Answer 1

You will be fine with revoking your distribution certificate and making a new one. You can still update an existing app after doing this.
