Description

Failed to verify code signature of /var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.UICMsi/extracted/AltStore.app : 0xe8008015 (A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found.)

Recently my USB-C to Lightning cable broke, I bought a new one and since I have been getting this error.
I am trying to install AltStore on an iPhone 7 on iOS 14.6 from a MacBook on macOS v11.6.2. (I tried installing it from a windows PC but got the same error)
I tried installing AltSore on my iPad Air 4th gen (iOS 15.4.1) and it worked flawlessly.
(Bother the Mac and the iPhone are on the same timezone)

Please help!

Start by reproducing the AltStore.app installation on an iPhone 7 running iOS 14.6 from macOS 11.6.2, using the reported code-signature error and provisioning-profile message as the entry point. Compare the failing iPhone installation with the successful iPad Air installation; done means identifying a reproducible cause or documenting the required change.
