We have a windows app that runs on Windows 8.1. We use a test certificate with sideloading to install the app. The key is expiring in a few days and we are in the process of generating a new one and deploying it. Meanwhile, I would like to know will the app stop working after the certificate expires? I tried to post date my device and test the app which worked even with a expired certificate. Is that the intended behaviour? I do understand for any future deployment of the app it does need a renewed certificate, but will the current version continue to work even after the certificate expired.
I tried googling and go through various articles but could not find a relevant answer.
Recently we faced the same issue in our windows 8.1 app. The Current installed Build works normal even after the certificate expired. But the new build will not get installed as it will look for valid certificate.
Incase if you are in need to install build with expired certificate you can change the date(date before certificate expiry) and you can install the same build. After successful installation you can change the date and run the app.
