Description
I am using an iPhone 16e with the latest iOS 18.5 public beta. My computer is a Windows 11 home ROG Strix, using the latest version of iCloud (I don't know how to check the exact version), and the latest version of iTunes (12.13.7). The version of AltServer I am rocking is 1.7.2.0, the current latest. I am unable to refresh, download, or sideload apps over Wi-Fi, everything works perfectly fine over USB. iCloud is running, and iTunes is open with Wi-Fi syncing enabled for my phone. I restarted my computer after installing iTunes and enabling Wi-Fi syncing, but the issue persists. In the AltStore app itself, I am signed in with my Apple ID on both AltStore and AltServer, and the AltStore version present on my phone was installed using the version of AltServer present on my computer.
If I could get some assistance, that would be greatly appreciated.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Wi-Fi failure on the reported Windows 11, iOS 18.5 beta, AltServer 1.7.2.0, iTunes 12.13.7, and latest iCloud setup, comparing it with the working USB path. The issue is done when Wi-Fi refresh, download, and sideload operations can find AltServer reliably under the reported setup.
