ios - Will revoking Distribution certificate affect application which is In Review (on apple store) for Iphone?

Question

I just lost my private key with OS reinstallation so will have to create new Certificate Signing Requests.. I wanted to know if revoking my Distribution Certificate will have any effect on my existing applications on App Store especially when one of my applications is waiting for approval ( In Review ) build from old distribution certificate.

Should i wait for the app to be accepted by the Apple or revoking the distribution certificate won't have any affect on the application?

Answer 1

I know this is an ancient question, but since it hasn't been answered... According to Apple support, you can revoke the certificate immediately after submitting an app for review and the app won't be affected. Apps already on the app store will not be affected either.
