Unable to Verify App

This usually means iOS cannot trust the app signature.

  • Certificate revoked or expired
  • Profile does not include the device UDID
  • IPA signed with mismatched certificate files
  • Old app build still installed on the device

Integrity Could Not Be Verified

This means the installed app package is not passing iOS verification.

  • Wrong or revoked signing certificate
  • Mobileprovision mismatch
  • Damaged or incompatible IPA
  • App needs to be signed again with current files

ESign certificate errors

ESign can import files but still fail if the active certificate entry is wrong.

  • Import both the .p12 and .mobileprovision files
  • Use the exact certificate password
  • Select the correct certificate before signing
  • Remove old revoked entries before retrying

Feather certificate errors

Feather needs the certificate, profile, and password to match each other.

  • Wrong .p12 password causes signing failure
  • Wrong profile causes install failure
  • Missing UDID blocks the target device
  • Revoked certificates require replacement files

When do you actually need new certificate files?

New files are likely needed

  • Several IPAs fail with the same verification error
  • Apps worked before and suddenly stopped verifying
  • Your profile belongs to another device
  • The certificate is expired or revoked

Try troubleshooting first

  • Only one IPA fails but others install
  • The IPA is old or incompatible with your iOS version
  • You may have copied the password with an extra space
  • The old failed app is still installed

CertDrop certificate package

CertDrop delivers the .p12 certificate, matching .mobileprovision profile, certificate password, and install/download page by email. The package is designed for compatible IPA signing workflows such as ESign, Feather, and online IPA signing.
