Since this evening (March 10, 2026), I'm unable to launch any developer-signed app on my physical device (iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 26.4 beta 23E5223k). The error is:

"Unable to launch [app] because it has an invalid code signature, inadequate entitlements or its profile has not been explicitly trusted by the user."

On the device itself, it shows: "Unable to Verify App - An internet connection is required to verify the trust of the developer."

What I've tried:

Created a new Apple Development certificate
Deleted and reinstalled the app
Restarted the device
Tested on both Wi-Fi and cellular
Confirmed Developer Mode is enabled
Removed all third-party CA certificates from the device
Verified the code signature is valid (codesign -dv shows correct Authority chain)

The root cause:
https://ppq.apple.com is currently returning 502 Bad Gateway. I confirmed this both from my Mac (curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://ppq.apple.com → 502) and from Safari on the device.

This affects all developer-signed apps, not just a specific project.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there an ETA for the fix?

Environment:

Xcode 26.3 (17C519)
macOS 26.3.1 (25D2128)
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 26.4 (23E5223k)

I've been trying for an hour, I thought I had destroyed something, then it occurred to me to check here.. On developer system status everything looks fine

I spent an hour with Apple Support and it seems they're not aware of the issue. Please reachout to apple developer support so they get higher priority to resolve this. It can be done through developer apple site: developer.apple.com / contact / topic / select
