Description
I’m using AltStore/SideStore to install this automation tool: WebDriverAgent
It signed successfully, but when I opened the app, it crashed. I tried many times and with different accounts, but it still crashed. Yesterday, I attempted to install the tool using LiveContainer, but it showed: "App was signed successfully, but LiveContainer was unable to sign the following files. You may be able to use the app, but do expect crash.......".
I just think maybe AltStore might have the same issue, unable to sign the nested plugins.
Can someone tell me if this is an AltStore error or limitation, or a directory permission error?
Thanks!
P/S: I tried signing the tool with iOS App Signer, and it’s still working correctly without any crashes.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash with WebDriverAgent v11.0.2 signed through AltStore or SideStore, and compare it with the working iOS App Signer result. Investigate how nested plugins are signed and whether LiveContainer shows the same failure; done means identifying whether this is a signing limitation, a permission issue, or an AltStore bug, with a concrete fix or documented conclusion.
