Description
Describe the bug
I just did everything according to the instructions from here: altstore.io/altserver/beta
Then I rebooted my Mac, went into apps, and tried to open the app. I got this error.
I tried nvram boot-args="amfi_get_out_of_my_way=0x1" and nvram boot-args="amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1" as well (not simultaneously, it was 2 different retries :D).

The issue provides no source file or test entry point; done would require identifying the cause of Error -1, making the app launch successfully, and verifying the fix on the reported environment.
