iPhone could not be restored. Declined to authorize this image on this device for this user

Hello,


I am trying to restore IOS 14.8 on iPhones using IPSW. file through Finder.

I was able to do that successfully 2 weeks ago.

But yesterday I had the following issue:

"iPhone could not be restored. Declined to

authorize this image on this device for this user".


Any idea on how to fix that? I need to install the 14.8 IOS for now for, not 15.

I am using MacOs Bigsur 11.6.
