What causes the “unable to install unc0ver” error?
The signing service you are using is responsible for the “unable to install unc0ver. Please try again later” message.
This error indicates that Apple has revoked the signing certificate associated with unc0ver. The main issue with signing services is that Apple can revoke their enterprise certificates anytime.
So, once your jailbreak app expires, all jailbreak tweaks and apps will stop working (if you reboot).
The easiest way to fix this error is to sign the app yourself using your Apple ID. However, if you lack access to a computer, you will have to rely on a signing service with a functioning certificate.
