Description

Hi,
It appears that when installing a .ipa through an added repo, it's not possible to discard app extensions whereas it can be done when manually selecting a .ipa through the file manager. This is unfortunate because of the 10 app ID limit.

Could that feature be added? Is there something I'm missing?

Thank you

Research direction

Compare the repository-based .ipa installation flow with the manual file-manager installation flow, focusing on where app extensions can be discarded. Done means repository installs offer the same extension-discard option and allow users to avoid unnecessary app IDs; no files or tests are named in the issue.
