Description

Free Apple Ids have an app id limit of 7 maximum ids so which means you can only generate and install 7 apps at a time but the same provisioning profile can be used to sign different apps I believe so there should be an option to sign an IPA with an existing provisioning profile.

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point, so first locate the IPA-signing and provisioning-profile flow in the AltStore codebase. Confirm how an existing provisioning profile is selected and define completion as allowing an IPA to be signed with that profile without exceeding the free Apple ID app limit.
