Description

When trying to install, I get the following error after some time:

Appex bundle at /var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.9YrgEg/extracted/AltStore.app/PlugIns/com.53B7QQTTUQ.com.rileytestut.AltStore.AltWidget.appex with id com.53B7QQTTUQ.com.rileytestut.AltStore.AltWidget specifies a value (com.apple.widgetkit-extension) for the NSExtensionPointIdentifier key in the NSExtension dictionary in its Info.plist that does not correspond to a known extension point.

Research direction

Reproduce the installation failure on an Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) and start by examining the AltStore.app/PlugIns/com.53B7QQTTUQ.com.rileytestut.AltStore.AltWidget.appex Info.plist referenced in the error. Determine the relevant install or extension configuration entry point; done means AltStore installs successfully without the unknown extension-point error.
