Description

Altstore 1.5 on iOS 15.5 and installed from a MacBook pro (up to date). My iphone just had a clean reinstall of the iOS.

I'll install Altstore, install 2 apps and they'll all open and everything seems fine. But after some time I'll try to open my altstore apps and they won't open. They'll show me a second of the starting screen then crash immediately.

The apps still have 7-6 days before expiring and I have no issue with extensions.

I tried:

Installing with a different apple ID.

Uninstalling altstore and the mail plugin and deleting the app and reinstalling.

Using altstore beat 1.4.3 but the the mail application told me that the plugin wasn't compatible.

Research direction

No source file, test, or code entry point is identified. Start by reproducing the startup crash with AltStore 1.5 on iOS 15.5 after installing two apps from a MacBook, then investigate the app-signing state and the reported AltStore and Mail plugin setup. Done means identifying the cause and confirming that installed apps open after the waiting period.
