2. Click on "Renew my certificates"*

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.

Note: 
- If you added a new UDID of a test device it will also require a certificate renewal for this modification to take effect.
- Renewing the certificates doesn’t require a new submission of the app to the store.
Click on "Modify" to unlock the back office and modify the app if needed.

*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 ready for test (to unlock it, go to Publish > iOS App > Publication   and click Modify) 
- The app is pending submission to the store and hasn't yet been marked as published in the back office.
