Description

MacBook Pro and the latest-gen Ipad Pro are the devices I am using.

The email I have created specifically for altstore now has two-factor authentication. When I try to sign in with my actual username and password it returns

Installation failed
This action cannot be completed at this time (-22411)

So I have created an app-specific password and I have tried again. But That did not work as well

Installation failed
Incorrect Apple ID or password.

I have reinstalled the altstore on my MAC. and I have also made sure that the date and time on both devices are in sync.
I could not find any more useful resources on how to fix this issue.

Please help me with this problem.
