The certificates and mobile provision files used in your app are visible in the menu **Publish > iOS app > Certificates**
They are displayed in green when they are valid and red when they are expired.

To renew your iOS certificates when they are expired:

1. Go to the left swipe menu **Publish > iOS app > Certificates**
2. Click on "**Renew my certificates**"*
3. A pop-up message will appear, click on **continue**.
4. Before we take over the process for you, indicate if the app is new (never been submitted to the store yet) or an update (already online on the store)
5. Click **Next step**.
6. Depending on whether the Distribution Certificate is still valid or not:

How to know what to choose:

6.1 - The certificate is expired: select **New distribution certificate**

6.2 - The certificate is still valid: select **Use an existing one**, choose file then click **OK**.

7. You must verify and complete the information of the form. Once this is complete, click on **Next step**. A ticket will be generated to the “GoodBarber Takes Care” team so we can take care of your certificate renewal.

** **At least one certificate must be expired**to be able to ask for a renewal.*

**Attention:**
There are stages in the submission process when the update of the iOS certificates is not allowed.
The button will not be visible when:
- The app is being **compiled**
- The app is **pending submission** to the store and hasn't yet been marked as published in the back office.

**An update of your app will always be sent to the App Store once GoodBarber team has renewed your iOS certificates.**
