Description

I installed Altstore from the website, unzipped it, put it in the applications folder, ran the application, but the icon isn't appearing in my menu bar. Why is that? I am running it on a pretty new M2 Macbook Air running MacOS Sonoma 14.3.1. Because of this, I straight up can't use Altserver nor install Altstore on my Iphone

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing menu-bar icon with AltServer on an M2 MacBook Air running macOS Sonoma 14.3.1. Inspect the application’s menu-bar startup path; done means the icon appears and AltStore can be installed on an iPhone. No source file or test is named in the issue.
