Description

When upgrading to 1.6rc, AltStore Beta appears to have stolen the App IDs of my Youtube alt app, and now shows itself as Youtube (replacing my Youtube alt in My Apps:

AltStoreBeta

More tellingly, when I try to install a newer Youtube alt, it fails with a strange error about mismatched App IDs:
