Description
I'm sideloading Apollo and all app extensions, with ApolloPatcher, so I can still use it with a private API key.
It works for a day - then the next day, when I open it, it crashes on launch. The only way I can fix it is by deactivating the app in AltStore, then adding the ipa again - and it loads again from scratch, I have to patch it again and change my shortcuts and gestures and login to Reddit, etc.
Is there anyway I can find out why this is? I am not refreshing the app between when it works and when it doesn't. Is it likely to be AltStore, the ipa, or iOS?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the launch crash after the app has worked for a day, using the sideloaded Apollo IPA with all app extensions and ApolloPatcher. Collect the iOS crash details and compare behavior before and after deactivating and re-adding the app; done means identifying whether AltStore, the IPA, ApolloPatcher, or iOS causes the crash.
