Will adding push notifications to my ad-hoc certificate break my app for current users?

Question

Here is my scenario:

• We have an ad-hoc app deployed into production
• In our pre-prod environment, we also deploy our ad-hoc app (same identifier)
• In dev we have push notifications working successfully (via Urban Airship)
• To test in pre-prod I need to add Push Notifications to our ad-hoc certificate

Will adding push notifications to the ad-hoc cert affect affect users that have already downloaded the app? It seems like adding a push notifications cause the ad-hoc cert to have to be re-provisioned.

Thanks for any insights. I can't find an answer to this in Apple's documentation but they tend to ignore ad-hoc deployments.

Installed apps are not affected in any way by changing certificates or provisioning profiles.

You can delete or update your provisioning profiles all you want. The only thing it will affect are any app builds you do after installing the updated provisioning profile into Xcode.
