I developed an app for my own personal use. Yet Apple forces me to reinstall it every 7 days because of the arbitrary provisioning profile expiration for free accounts. My app was installed more than 7 days ago, so under Apple’s rules I am forced to reinstall it. Today, because Apple’s signing infrastructure is broken, I now receive error 0xe800801a and cannot install and run my own app on my own iPhone. This is unacceptable. No other platform locks its users out of their own code this way. Developers should not be completely blocked from their apps when Apple’s signing servers fail.
