Iam trying to setup an iPhone 8us after updating to iOS 16.7.3. For some reason all Apple app like Contacts, Notes, Reminders, FaceTime, Calendar, Watch, Shortcuts etc. is not able to install. All other apps was successfully installed and up and running. The Apple app icon is showing waiting and when you tap it will bring up a message "Unable to install please try again later". I did try all solutions I found in the internet but it didn't help. Can you please provide me some solution for this problem?

ditto same issue. issue started with podcast app not always updating play status between devices. so tried removing app and reinstall. but podcast app wont reinstall. thought about going to a backup but as only one cant go back far enough. after full restore and factory restore now have more apps which wont install? anyone found a fix ?


I have the Same Problem on my iPhone X factory reset didnt change anything unfortunatly. I will try downgrading to 16.7.2 and see if the Apps will download. If you guys want to try that also you have to be quick before 16.7.2 loses the signing


had same issue. as seen elsewhere only current option is go into recovery mode and do full factory restore from itunes. itunes then downloads and reinstalls the s/w. basic erase all apps/settings restore from ipad didnt work. though still have to reinstall all apps and settings etc.


Weirdly its the default apps that the issue seems to be having the issues everything else is downloading fine. Spoke to Apple support & all they could say was to bear with them as they've passed it to engineers to look at. Pretty poor to be fair :(


Hi , i have found one solution...i have tried all solution that i found online but no one worked (factory reset on the iPhone's settings, factory reset from iTunes , and all others stuff relying on networks issues)... Only one thing worked for me : Factory reset (from iTunes) and while setting up the iPhone not connecting it to my Apple account (bypass connecting to apple)...I have lost all my data...but at least it works fine now :) .


I try to copy the .ipa and drag it but it just doesn't appear? When I copy the file, click on the edit button in the menu bar, all the options are greyed out even though I had copied the .ipa? Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?


This no longer works in iOS15 and the latest itunes. Although it will copy your app over, on your iphone it starts installing then says "must be installed from app store." If the app is no longer there in the store, it will not install and the app will be useless (Showing with the cloud download button, which won't work).


I installed an iOS app (.ipa file) on my iPad using iTunes for PC (with Windows 10 21H2).The iPad's UDID is listed in Apple Developer Console list of devices. So it is a Developer test ipa for a test device.I've connected the iPad to the PC after iTunes was started and was able to install the ipa by dragging it to iTunes and dropping it on the left lower "On my Device" pane.I started iTunes after the iPad was connected to the PC and was able to install the ipa by dragging it to iTunes and dropping it on the left lower "Devices" pane.

Neither drag-and-drop or right-click paste worked for me.But Ctrl-V worked. Copy the .ipa file (normal Ctrl+C) from File Explorer, go to iTunes on the device's page, Paste with Ctrl+V and the app start to install.


Hello. I have a third-generation iPad with iOS 9.3.5, and I tried the method of copying and pasting the Atari Greatest Hits app to be able to use it with the accessory that was sold, however, the app appears on the home screen, but it is "installed" up to an average of 1/4 of the download, or even 1/2, but it goes up to that point and soon after the app stops installing and soon after disappears from the home screen. Does anyone know what the reason for the conflict might be? I really need this app.


I got a nice new iPhone to do some debugging on and I'm trying to run my application from Xcode on the new phone. When I run the application it fails and in the "Details" of the failure it tells me that the provisioning profile is invalid:


Using "Automatically Manage Signing" and choosing my development team, when I click on the little (i) button next to "Xcode managed Profile" I see all check marks. Xcode seems to think I have everything I need. I do see my device listed in the supported devices area.


I have turned "Automatically Manage Signing" off and on (to regenerate the profile) and I've tried manually copying the profile to the phone (emailing it to myself, and using AirDrop). The phone complains that the profile is invalid.


Kicking it old school, I went to my account and created a new development signing certificate, and a provisioning profile that includes my device. I tried using Xcode with the manual certificate and profile and got the same result.


After re-reading the provisioning profile tech note, my eye caught on the paragraph which says that previously the user would install a provisioning profile accessible through the Settings on the phone, but modern iOS applications should have their provisioning profiles inside the app bundle in a file called "embedded.mobileprovision".


In iOS 16.1, in the settings, I see provisioning profiles for things like Apple's beta software, but haven't gotten iOS 16.1 to install a new application profile. Perhaps that functionality has been removed? YMMV.


At any rate, being thoroughly modern (ha!) my application, when built, should contain an "embedded.mobileprovision" file. But upon digging in the DerivedData folder and looking in the app package - it didn't. Odd.


So then I looked at our build phases. To make a long story even longer, our application has a history that includes Ionic/Angular and Cordova. There was a script that copies the Ionic/Angular html files into the app bundle. I speculate that you use the Cordova build process then it will build the application using Xcode, then delete the signing that Xcode has done, copy the www folder into the bundle, then re-sign the result.


Yes. I have. When I looked at the device in the devices and simulators window it had a helpful yellow banner asking me to do that. I did it before all the things I tried above. (I did double-check though. Thank you for the suggestion)


It's not just that Xcode thinks it can't install the profiles. If I email them myself on the devices and try to install them, that fails too. So the profiles are generated in a way that my devices don't like them.


Is there a (publicly accessible) way to collect more information about why a profile was rejected other than just that it was rejected?(I will re-read the tech note so if the answer is in there consider that prior sentence to be rhetorical :-D)


I had exactly the same problem and from yesterday on it works. Meanwhile I tried to distribute the app via testflight.When I did it I got an error message, that some Icon`s are missing. I created a new set and from that point on I couldalso build and install my app via Xcode directly. Eventually that helps you too.


The same problem here, and i double check the device in window - device and simulates - right click the device - show provisioning profile , and i cant find the current profile. Then i tried to add the bottom button + , choose the profile, it show me an error : "Failed to install one or more provisioning profiles on the device. Please ensure the provisioning profile is configured for this device. If not, please try to generate a new profile."


When deploying devices, we block practically all iCloud functionality. The user can log in, but document and data sync (such as photos, etc.) is disabled. All done out of security, I must point out that the iCloud accounts are just like any other iCloud account (not managed by the company). All new iPhones receive a configuration profile related to security and iPhone functionally. Let's just call this 'Standard'. For example, certain apps are not available to download. Screenshots cannot be taken, manual resets of the iPhone are not allowed, and so on.


There is another config profile for 'Managers' who are afforded a little more freedom in terms of what they can do. Screenshots are allowed. Otherwise blocked apps from the App Store can be installed. WhatsApp is the best example.
