How often does the Apple Root CA - G3 root Certificate Change?

Hello!


I need to make use of Apple Root CA - G3 root CertificateAuthority (CA) certificate in my code and I wonder how often does Apple update this certificate and when update takes place how do I get notified that the certificate has been updated and I need to download a new copy?


Thank you!

You can use Keychain Access to get info on the G3 cert to check those details.


Mine says:

- Not valid before: Wednesday, April 30, 2014 at 11:19:06 AM Pacific Daylight Time

- Expires: Saturday, April 30, 2039 at 11:19:06 AM Pacific Daylight Time


= 25 yrs. total, or 22 yrs from now.


If the last episode w/the WDRC cert is any indication, there will be no notification and yes, when expiration occurs, a download of the new one is typically involved.
