Description

Currently I'm running the Big Sur betas, en running the AltServer beta.
I freshly downloaded the latest beta version 1.4b2 from the website (beta page), and tried to install AltStore on my iPhone 11 (iOS 14.2). It throws an error:

"The operation couldn't be completed. Could not find matching provisioning profile."

Then I saw that the AltServer app also have an update, but when I try to update to 14.2, it throws:

"Update error!
An error occurred while extracting the archive. Please try again later."

Quite a generic error with no way to solve on my own. Also tried 3 branches of AltServer from here on GitHub, nothing works/helps.

Any thoughts?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the installation and update attempts with AltStore beta 1.4b2, AltServer beta, macOS Big Sur, and iOS 14.2. Investigate the reported provisioning-profile and archive-extraction errors; the issue is done when AltStore installs and AltServer updates successfully under those conditions.
