Iphone: revoke distribution certificate and push notifications

I have an iPhone app with push notifications turned on and it works very well. But my mac mini just “died”, and I understand that I forgot to backup my public / private keys: / Therefore, I think my only solution now is to create new certificates (both developers and distributions) so that I could continue my work ... but what happens to my push notifications?

I mean: the pem file used for my push notification server is "bound" to my current distribution certificate. What happens if I revoke a certificate?

  • Can my push notifications work?
  • If so, what happens when I submit a new version of the binary?
  • If not, do I only need to create a new pem file?

Have any of you experienced this situation?

I can say from personal experience that if you release a new binary file under your new certificate, your users will not violate the orderly modernization of your application. The same thing happened to me, and I was worried that when I presented the update for my application, that everything would be confused - and even worse - users would lose the saved data associated with my application. (Either in the settings, or in the sqlite database).

Everything worked without problems, despite the fact that the new version was sent as signed with a completely different certificate as the original.

I have not , but using push notifications.
