Description

AltStore won't work with multiple users signed in on macOS.

Ios app trying to connect via USB or Wifi , but it couldn't to connect.

I guess it because on each user which signed in, Altstore is opened and servers are working in one time.
But if log out any User it's work again. Or may help reboot Mac.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with two macOS users signed in while an iOS device connects over USB or Wi-Fi. Trace the AltStore connection behavior for each signed-in user; done means the iOS app connects successfully without logging out a user or rebooting the Mac.
