Problem
During initial setup of a new iOS / iPad an error is displayed stating that the profile must be installed interactive.
On a DEP'ed iOS device, during the activation process, the error: Installation of profile failed. "com.capasystems.profile must be installedinteractively" appears. When you reboot the device, the same error appears again and the device is stuck in a loop. |
|
Cause
This error comes on iOS 13.x and iPad OS 13.x when a system update is ongoing. For some reason the profile cannot be installed when system is about to be updated.
Work around
You need to wipe the device and in some cases even download the OS again.
