Description

After getting the iPhone 18 Pro I tried setting up the remote server and I get this error message when trying to install an app:

The setup works and it shows as connected when LocalDevVPN is on, but I can't install anything.

The remote server worked on my iPhone 15 Pro. I tried yesterday and today, so it doesn't seem to just be a temporary error. Also tried completely reinstalling Altstore PAL and classic but the error is the same.
