Quick checks

Make sure the UDID is correct, the mobileprovision file matches the device, and the certificate password is exact.

Why a signed app can fail

iOS checks the IPA, signing certificate, provisioning profile, bundle identifier, entitlements, and registered device before allowing an app to open. A valid certificate by itself is not enough: the certificate and mobileprovision file must belong together, and the profile must include the exact UDID of the device receiving the app.

An older installation can also conflict with a newly signed copy. If an app was previously installed with another certificate, delete that copy before retrying. Use a fresh IPA when possible, import the matching certificate files again, and sign the app as a new job.

Choose the right diagnostic

Record the exact iOS error before changing files. That message helps distinguish a damaged IPA from a certificate, profile, UDID, or trust problem.
