Description
After 7 days if I install Altstore again a previously sideloaded app takes forever to refresh. It can take up to 30 min for one app, where altstore only takes 20 sec. Sometimes it doesn't even refresh whatsoever. Any tips or known issues?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the refresh after the seven-day interval and compare it with a normal AltStore refresh. Investigate the refresh path and collect logs for the long or unsuccessful operation; done means the cause is identified and the previously sideloaded app refreshes reliably within the expected time.
