Description
I had an app that I wanted to temporarily deactivate. I did so about a week ago but now want to restore it (or at least install clean). I get the same error message for both methods:
Failed to verify code signature of /var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.6B1iCZ/extracted/App.app/Frameworks/BionicReading.framework : 0xe8008015 (A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found.)
I tried deleting the deactivated app and installing clean but I get the same error. Please advise. I am happy to troubleshoot.
I know there are some similar threads but making my own since this has to do with a previously working app that was deactivated.

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing both restore and clean-install paths for a deactivated app and inspect the provisioning-profile failure around BionicReading.framework. Done means identifying whether AltStore causes the stale signature state and documenting or fixing the install path so the app can be restored or installed successfully.
