Description

The update to version 2.1.2 doesn't work. Installing it via the iOS settings results in a stuck install progress indicator on the app icon. Manually reinstalling it via the AltStore website installs the old version (2.1.1).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the update from iOS Settings and the manual reinstall from the AltStore website, checking whether the app remains on 2.1.1 or shows a stuck install indicator. Trace the update and website installation entry points to identify where the version mismatch occurs; done means version 2.1.2 installs successfully through both paths.
