Same issue on Mojave and Catalina ios 13.5, ipad, already jailbroken by unc0ver

From ssh, I can see that it created /private/var/containers/Temp/Bundle/Application, but it is empty.

Only a complete reset of the phone with data helps, how to avoid this? And what prompted this mistake? I can't understand it, it's sad

Can anyone find the solution for this kind of error? This also bricks any type of sideloading, not just AltStore and App Store

Any fixes that doesn't includes data loss

Me for sure... maybe this person removed it's data and restore the system (fabric settings/iTunes recovery) to fix this because no one give to this person and of course, no one to me what is an alternative fix we can apply if we're jailbroken to fix this error without restoring the system (data loss)

Hi, ive been using 13.4 for about 3 years now with no issues, however at the weekend i was unable to resign any apps on reprovision with this error message, i tried removing unc0ver and adding it again, the exact same.

i then tried to unjailbreak the device and install altstore again, and i receive the same error message.

im not unable to install any apps from appstore :/ Meaning the phone is pretty much useless now.

Please can you help with a solution which means i wont lose my jailbreak or data?

Thanks

you can try to uninstall the tweak you recently install or just go back to a old version.

i think short of being able to jailbreak via dfu mode it is impossible to fix this error without fully resetting phone and losing all data, and noone has dfu jailbreaks so i genuinely think its impossible to fix this

Problem resolved: Via ssh run the below commands (one by one):

chown root:wheel /var/tmp/ chown mobile:wheel /var/tmp/com.apple.appstored/ chmod 777 /var/tmp chmod 700 /var/tmp/com.apple.appstored/ killall -9 appstored

No idea what broke it, but heres the solution for others.
