Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
If I've installed an app from the app store and the author's distribution certificate expires, my app will still run in my device or not?
For example in the case that the author won't renew the certificate itself, i guess his app will be removed from the app store; but what happens to the apps installed in the devices?
Thanks a lot.
iPhone 4
The author's certificate is only used to authenticate the author when the app is uploaded to the app store.
The app is then signed by Apple before being added to the app store.
Nothing will happen to your app except you won't get any updates.
Evertually, iOS upgrades could stop the app from working if you upgrade iOS beyond what the app supports.

Thanks for your support.
Is it the same for already installed apps signed with the Enterprise or Ad-Hoc certificate ?
Thanks again.
Ad-Hocs will stop working as well as Enterprise apps.
