Description

As the title says, whenever I try to sideload an app using the beta, i.e GBA4iOS, Cercube, Rocket for ig, etc., it crashes after around 5 seconds with no communication to AltServer in that time. I can send crash logs, if that would be helpful. As for the device, it's an iPhone XR on iOS 13.1, and all the apps listed above can be sideloaded just fine with impactor

Research direction

Start by reproducing the beta sideloading failure on an iPhone XR running iOS 13.1 with the listed apps, while collecting the requested crash logs. Compare the failing behavior with successful sideloading through Impactor; the issue is done when sideloading no longer crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS after about five seconds.
