Description

I have used AltServer on one iPhone using one authentication, and when I try on another device, using a separate authentication I receive an "Installation Failed" - The operation couldn't be completed. Could not connect to AltServer error. Do I need to use a separate PC in order to utilize AltServer to authenticate with multiple iCloud accounrs? I am running MacOS 10.15.6.

Thanks.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce the AltServer connection failure on macOS 10.15.6 using two iCloud accounts and trace the Mac-to-iPhone authentication flow; done means multiple accounts can authenticate without the connection error, or the limitation is documented.
