Description

I have tried the "1.5b4" from Patreon and the "1.4.4" from the official website.

I have:
iPhone 12 - iOS 14.5 - Not Jailbroken
iPhone 7 - iOS 14.2 - Jailbroken
MacBook Air (M1, 2020) - 11.2.3 Big Sur

AltServer 1.5b4 - Patreon
AltServer 1.4.4 - altstore.io

I have tried every combination of launching AltServer and Mail.app with Rosetta 2 to use in x86 mode, and without Rosetta to use in native ARM M1 mode, and installing AltStore over WiFi and over USB. Also sideloaded IPA's. Even have tried using a non paid developer apple account.

No matter what I try, after AltServer asks for my apple email and password, the icon on the menu bar disappears.

Attached is one of the "Crash Reports" from Console.app.

They are all the same for the most part, so this is just the most recent crash.

Research direction

Start with the attached AltServer crash report from Console.app and reproduce the crash after entering the Apple email and password on a MacBook Air with an M1 chip. Done means AltServer remains running, its menu-bar icon does not disappear, and installation works over the tested USB or Wi-Fi paths.
