Description
Hi there,
I recently had a problem with AltStore. When installing the app Pica Comic, AltStore ended up with the error "This app is in an invalid format.", but there was no problem when using other sideloading software for the same file. The package download link is attached here .

Research direction
Start by reproducing the installation of Pica Comic v2.1.1 from the linked release and trace where AltStore reports the invalid-format error. The issue provides no file or test entry point, so first identify the package-validation path; done means the package installs successfully or the incompatibility is clearly characterized.
