Description

Through Mac i tried downloading it showed a 503 error i later fixed that by downloading the 1.8.1 Zip which then allowed me to sign in
However after the sign in it asks for a code promt which i believe helps bypass the extra security apple has laid but when it asks for the code, no code is sent to my iphone, ive checked all routes and i still dont receive a code promt

Will give it the next day maybe apple just needs a security cooldown from the promt requests i doubt it will work though.

Research direction

Reproduce the sign-in flow on Mac with AltStore 1.8.1, including the verification-code request and the earlier 503 download path. Check whether the iPhone receives the code and record where the flow stops; done means the cause is identified and the sign-in flow either delivers the code or reports a clear failure.
