This article is very well written and comprehensive.

Second, how to do when the app certificate expires:

iOS: The certificate expires does not affect the shelves AppStore, but the push will be a problem, the update push certificate does not have to be re-released, can be regenerated, as long as the developer.apple.com in the APP ID of the push certificate and push the server to the same.

What's the status of Android:? Digital certificates are valid, and Android only checks the validity of the certificate when the application is installed. After the program is installed, even if the certificate expires, it will not affect the normal function of the program. If you plan to publish your application to Android Market, the key that is signed for the app must expire after October 22, 2033, and the market server enforces this rule. Debug.keystore may not be the same on different machines, that is, if the same app generated on different development machines might not overwrite the installation. Most app stores (including Google Play Store) won't accept the APK with the debug certificate signature. The validity period of the certificate, the name of the certificate holder, the name of the organization, the city and the country do not affect whether the certificate is the same, that is, as long as the certificate public private key information consistent, the system will determine the same certificate.
