What's revoke?

Why do certificates get revoked in iOS sideloading?

Certificates used for iOS sideloading can get revoked for various reasons

1. Policy Violations: If the sideloaded app or the developer violates Apple's policies or terms of service, the certificate may be revoked. This could happen if the app engages in activities that are against Apple's guidelines, such as distributing malicious content or violating privacy rules.

2. Security Concerns: If there are security vulnerabilities associated with the sideloaded app or the certificate itself, Apple may revoke the certificate to protect users. This ensures that potentially harmful apps are no longer trusted.

3. Developer Account Issues: If the developer's Apple Developer account is suspended, terminated, or experiences other account-related issues, all certificates associated with that account may be revoked. This can occur due to payment issues, policy violations, or other account-related problems.

4. Expired Certificate: Certificates used for signing apps have expiration dates. If the certificate expires, it becomes invalid, and apps signed with that certificate may no longer be trusted. Users will experience issues when trying to open apps signed with an expired certificate.

5. Abuse or Misuse: If the sideloaded app is misused or abused in a way that goes against Apple's policies, the certificate may be revoked. This could include activities such as spamming users or engaging in unauthorized activities.

This is for the error: “This app cannot be installed because integrity could be not verified”
