Push an App update to store, But lost Bundle Id, Profile and Certificates


My Company is having an App on the app store. This app was done by an outsourcing company in 2016 and all the contacts with them is closed. Now I need to push an update to this app, But my problem is I don't have the Bundle Id, Certificate, Profile that are used to push the app to store previously.Can I create a new App ID, Distribution Certificate and Profile and push the app to the store with the new Bundle Id. Will that create problem for the users to get the updates. Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • Summarizing the answer from the comments and my experience after successful updation of the app. Hope it may help someone.

    If we lost all the profile, certificate, Bundle Id etc, but if the have the access to the iTunes connect account from where the App was submitted to store, then we can do the following:

    1) Go to iTunes connect -> search for your App -> and you will get the Bundle Id of the App from the details 2) We need the same developer account used to generate the cert, profiles in the previous push. 2.1) Developer Account -> Go to App ID -> Find the App Id with the same Bundle Id you found from iTunes. 2.2) Create a App store distribution certificate 2.3) Create a distribution provisioning profile by providing the App Id we found out earlier.
