Description
So for example, If I install a 50mb through altstore, altstore itself also takes up an extra 50mb space after it has signed the app.
This is very annoying for 16gb device users. Please fix asap.
Device: iPhone 6s Plus
iOS version: 15.6RC

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the install on an iPhone 6s Plus running iOS 15.6RC and measure storage before and after signing a 50 MB app. Done means AltStore no longer retains an additional copy of the signed app.
