Renew IOS distribution certificate

My organisation's IOS distribution certificate is about to expire in a few months.

I haven't renewed the IOS distribution certificate before, but I understand I have to generate a new public-private keypair in a mac computer, probably from xcode?

Because the existing certificate was registered on a computer I don't have access to, I need to do this on another mac.

My question is: Can I generate a new private-public keypair on a new mac and will I run into issues when I do this?

Cannot trust self signed certificate on iOS 15.1 Hello, I am trying to install and trust a self signed root CA certificate on my device to access services hosted on my internal network. Importing and installing the certificate went well. I however do not have the option available to fully trust the certificate. I have the exact same issue than this one : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253175842 No answer has been provided to this post, other than to switch the toggle on, but this toggle is not displayed at all. Are there any specific requirements to meet for imported certificate to show in this list? I tested different key length (2048, 4096), validity (10 years, 1 year) and signing protocol (sha256, sha512), with no luck. I have not been able to find any help on the Internet so far, apart from this article that does not help in this case, the toggle not showing up at all : https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204477.

Apple MDM Push Certificates (APNs) Hey! I need your help regarding APNs certificates. In my team we use Microsoft Intune as an MDM provider to enroll and manage Mac and iOS devices. Therefore, you have to create an Apple MDM Push Certificate within Intune. If this certificate expires, you have to renew it by following the rules (same AppleID as last time and renew the certificate instead of creating a new one). Now, we have a phenomen with one of our customers where we manage iOS and MacOS devices. Instead of renewing the expiring certificate they have created a new one. This means, they had to do a re-enrollment with their iOS devices BUT NOT for the MacOS devices. Most of their devices are still connected to the old expired Apple MDM Push certificate and they are still compliant within Intune and working fine. Some of their devices are connected to the newest certificate and are also compliant. How is this possible? Why behave iOS devices in a different way than MacOS devices? Why are they still compliant and connected to the old expired certificate? Can someone help me in this case?
