Description

I enabled the JIT successfully from my pc and disconnected the phone via cable-to-pc. Then I tried refreshing the AltStore app from my phone but it failed saying AltStore could not be found.

I am still connected with the same WiFi as my pc but still have this issue.
Earlier it was not there before AltStore pc version 1.6.1.0 and AltStore mobile version 1.6.3.

Could you please check and fix this?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the refresh failure after enabling JIT, disconnecting the iPhone, and keeping it on the same WiFi network as the PC. Check the AltStore PC version 1.6.1.0 and mobile version 1.6.3 behavior; done means the phone can refresh AltStore without the cable and no longer reports that AltStore could not be found.
