On Wednesday, the AltStore team released an updated version of the AltStore app for iPhone and iPad, officially bringing it to version 1.6.2.
The update was first announced via Twitter, where the AltStore team explained that AltStore v1.6.2 resolves an issue that could cause users to experience the dreaded “no provisioning profile with requested ID…”error message.
If you’ve never encountered this error before, we’ve attached a screenshot of what it might look like for your pleasure (or displeasure) below:
Apparently the bug was a bug in AltStore and not a real issue with user-downloaded apps. However, today’s update fixes the issue and provides a stable sideload experience without the aforementioned common practice bug.
It is worth noting that users must install AltStore v1.6.2 manually via AltServer on their Mac or PC. This means you can’t just update the AltStore app on your iPhone or iPad because you’re just physically connected to your computer to download the updated AltStore app.
If you are an existing user of AltStore, we highly recommend upgrading to version 1.6.2 as it may improve the user experience by saving at least one annoying error message.
