What does "The provisioning profile is banned" (0xe8008024) mean?

Sources checked: 2026-11-12. Tested on a device by staff: not yet. This is compiled from release notes, a news report and member reports, not from running it on a phone.

What you see. An install or refresh fails with "Failed to verify code signature: 0xe8008024 (The provisioning profile is banned)", sometimes alternating with 0xe8008018 ("The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid"). AltStore, SideStore, Sideloadly and iLoader can all show it, because they sign with your free personal team.

It is not an Apple ID ban. Reports say only signing is affected, not iCloud or purchases.

What we can source.

  • ONE Jailbreak (2026-09-18) reports that some free Apple IDs are rejected at install time even though certificates and profiles still generate, that the block follows the free team, and that Apple has published nothing. It says public reports go back to July.
  • AltStore 2.3.1 (2026-10-21) added an experimental setting, Randomize Bundle IDs, described in its release notes as "a potential fix". Nobody has shown us that it works.

What we do not know. Why some accounts are hit and others are not, whether it wears off, and whether Apple intends it. We found no Apple statement.

What members report trying (unverified). Signing with a different, fresh Apple ID (one member said their second account was blocked about two weeks later); AltStore 2.3.1 or newer with Randomize Bundle IDs; moving to a paid developer account or a paid signing service, which has its own risks.

What not to do. If your current apps still launch, do not sign out or delete them to test the account. Do not pay anyone who promises to unban an Apple ID; nobody outside Apple can.

If you hit this, tell us your tool and version, iOS version, whether the Apple ID is old or new, and what you tried. Full guide: https://nabzclan.vip/threads/73/

These steps can stop working when Apple or the tools change. The forum thread linked above is kept up to date; check it for the latest.
