Babu Basha Rank: #467 Solution Hello @Ossama Ghanem , Hope you're well. If your distribution provisioning profile expires, the apps that use that provisioning profile will stop working. Users will see a message along the lines of "this app is no longer available." You will either need to renew the provisioning profile and distribute if through your MDM if your provider supports that feature or you will need to recompile your apps with the new provisioning profile. Thanks, Babu
Ossama Ghanem MVP Rank: #364 Hi Babu Good to hear from you! I can confirm that our tests match your findings. One thing to add: Existing running versions of the app will remain functional (until the expiry date) even if the app is regenerated in Service Center with the new provisioning profile, easing the transition a little. Thanks

Pedro Carvalho Rank: #2314 I'd like just to add some more information in case more people are still looking at this post. All of the above is valid for InHouse builds. However for Apple Store builds (delivered to users through the Apple Store) in case the Distribution Certificate or Provisioning Profile expire the users will be able to continue downloading and using the application. -For expiring certificates this is what is mentioned in Apple's documentation: I did experience this myself on a project.

- Regarding the Provisioning Profile expiration I couldn't find any Apple's documentation. But there are some threads on stackoverflow where this is mentioned:
I hope this might be helpful to someone in the future...
