Can't start Ad Hoc .ipa for iOS 12

Hi,

We're having problems starting an Ad Hoc ipa on an iPad with iOS 12.7.7 and 12.7.8. The iPad's UUID has been added to the provisioning profile. The iPad that we are trying to start the app on is online, so Apple's certificate validation server should be reachable. We don't have any problems with iOS versions above iOS 12.

The .ipa was built using the latest version of Xcode (26.2, build 17C52).

Here is the anonymised and reduced console log (only the app launch / bootstrap part):

You created a second thread for this issue and it’s not clear why. You’re already engaged with folks over on your other thread, and I recommend that you continue the discussion there.

Because it's a different problem. In my last thread the issue was just a missing internet connection of the iPad.

OK. Then I’m gonna route this down the same path as I routed your other thread. Best of luck!
