Description

I have tried to install an ipa using the latest version of AltServer on windows and an iPhone 6 on iOS 12.4.5, (edit: updated to 12.4.6, problem persists) but whenever the ipa gets close to finishing, AltServer crashes and AltStore tells me "An unknown error occurred."
No matter how many times I try to do it, I keep getting the same error and crash.

Please help.
Thanks,
epicc

Research direction

Start by reproducing the IPA installation on Windows with an iPhone 6 running iOS 12.4.6, using the latest AltServer version described in the issue. Investigate the failure near completion and the accompanying AltStore “unknown error”; done means the installation completes without AltServer crashing.
