I'm getting the infamous “Unable to download application. could not be installed at this time” error when my app is downloaded from the App Store on iOS8. The app downloads correctly on iOS9.
A look at the console logs during install doesn't reveal much, unfortunately. This is the relevant portion of the install log from a failing install on iOS 8:

The only thing that looks off there is the Installing <MIInstallableBundle ID=co.{{ my_app }}.{{ my_app }}.ios; Version=1328, ShortVersion=(null)>. The version is actually "1.0.8" and the short version is actually "1328". Could this be causing the issue?
This is the relevant portion of a successful install on iOS 9:

On iOS 9, the Installing <MIInstallableBundle ID=... line appears three times, the first is
MIInstaller performInstallationWithError:]: Installing <MIInstallableBundle ID=co.{{ my_app }}.{{ my_app }}.ios; Version=(null), ShortVersion=(null)>
Followed by
[MIInstaller performInstallationWithError:]: Installing <MIInstallableBundle ID=co.{{ my_app }}.{{ my_app }}.ios; Version=1328, ShortVersion=(null)>
And finally the more correct-looking
[MIInstaller performInstallationWithError:]: Installing <MIInstallableBundle ID=co.{{ my_app }}.{{ my_app }}.ios; Version=1328, ShortVersion=1.0.8>
Confusingly, each time it is followed by a matching [MIInstaller performInstallationWithError:]: Install Successful, so I'm not sure if this is actually a clue or not :/
Any ideas where else I can look? Thanks.
I think you have to wait for two three days... Just wait!!!
