Description
Issue - After refreshing apps altstore and all installed apps will become unavailable, this is also possible through installing the same app from different libraries (Ex: 2 different YouTube IPA’s). Reinstalling altstore without removing it and all apps from the device will cause altserver to completely freeze and requires task manager to close it.
Info - Phone:
iPhone 11
IOS 16.1
Free developer account
Alt-store/Server version - 1.5.1

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the refresh and duplicate-IPA installation cases with AltStore/AltServer 1.5.1 on iOS 16.1 using a free developer account, then investigate the invalid-app state and AltServer freeze; done means refresh and reinstall complete without invalidating installed apps or freezing AltServer.
