There are two types of distributor certificates, primary and secondary, that can be added to your certificate profile. What happens depends on which distributor certificate has expired. See Q04: Do I need more than one distributor certificate? for more information about the types of distributor certificates.
Primary distributor certificate: personal
A primary personal distributor certificate is used for testing only. When you release your app for sale in Galaxy Store, your primary personal distributor certificate is replaced by an official distributor certificate.
If your primary personal distributor certificate has expired, you cannot install your app from Tizen Studio to your watch until you get a new certificate. However, the expired certificate does not affect any apps that have already been installed on your watch nor any apps that are for sale on or have been sold from Galaxy Store.
Secondary distributor certificate: personal
If you have a secondary personal distributor certificate, remove it from your certificate profile.
Secondary distributor certificate: non-personal
A secondary non-personal distributor certificate may be added to your certificate profile and it is retained when your app is released for sale in Galaxy Store.
If your secondary non-personal distributor certificate has expired (or is not valid), your app does not install or update on a device. Replace it with a renewed or valid certificate in your certificate profile, sign your app, and submit your app to Galaxy Store.
