Description

Hi,

I was following the guide here: https://altstore.io/faq/ but I can't get the AltStore installed on my iPod Touch 7th Generation which is running iOS 15.0.2. I keep getting the error:

server returned invalid response altstore

Here are some screen shots:

2021-10-29 10_23_36-(1) Submit to AltStore
2021-10-29 10_24_22-(1) Submit to AltStore

I made sure to download iCloud and iTunes from the Apple website and not from the Windows Store, I ran the Alt Store as Administrator and I created an App-Specific Password but that didn't work, it won't work with my Apple Password. Two-factor Authentication is enabled but I can't disable it.

My iPod is currently upgrading to iOS 15.01, is there a problem with iOS 15? do you know what is stopping the installation on my device?

Thanks!
