Electronic certificates on iOS mobiles

iOS Profile installation error

The "Profile Installation Error" occurs when trying to import a certificate on iOS systems because the certificate is already installed on the device and you are using the same backup you used the first time.

First check the available certificates installed in "Settings", "General", "Profiles".

If it is already installed but you still want to import, you will need to either delete the existing certificate or make a new backup from the computer where it is installed (renaming the existing copy does not prevent the error).

If you import an existing certificate from a different backup, it will appear duplicated in the certificate store.
