Can not install cert-manager: Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: failed post-install: timed out waiting for the condition

Question

I've followed this guide step by step https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/ingress-tls?tabs=azure-cli
But at the step "Install cert-manager" i keep getting Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: failed post-install: timed out waiting for the condition which seems to be a blocker.
I've tried with cert-manager tag 1.8 and 1.10, I have no clue what I'm doing wrong

Hello @Cristiano Burla

May you please try remove failed cert-manager and install it again with option startupapicheck.timeout=5m

helm uninstall cert-manager -n cert-manager  
kubectl delete roles cert-manager-startupapicheck:create-cert -n cert-manager;  
kubectl delete serviceaccount cert-manager-startupapicheck -n cert-manager;  
kubectl delete serviceaccount default -n cert-manager;  
kubectl delete jobs cert-manager-startupapicheck -n cert-manager;  
kubectl delete rolebindings cert-manager-startupapicheck:create-cert -n cert-manager;  

Install cert-manager

helm install cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager --namespace cert-manager --create-namespace --version v1.10.0 --set startupapicheck.timeout=5m --set installCRDs=true
