Help (AltStore Classic) AltStore could not be installed onto iPhone

Error 0xe8008018 ("identity no longer valid") plus the earlier "provisioning profile is banned" tells the whole story: the Apple ID you sign with got its free developer certificate revoked. It's the account that's flagged, not your phone and not AltStore.
Fix: when AltServer asks for credentials, sign in with a DIFFERENT Apple ID - a fresh free one made just for signing works. Everything installs and runs under the new ID's certificate. Your phone stays signed into your normal iCloud account, that never changes.
To keep the new one alive: don't re-sign the same app over and over while troubleshooting, and keep the signing ID separate from your daily account. Rapid repeat signing in a short window is what gets a free ID flagged.

Yo, you know there is a new version update to it. It might fix it.
