Description
I left an issue about this in the iSH repo, but they claim this is an AltStore issue and sent me here.
Steps to reproduce:
- Add the source from here.
- Click on "Free" to install iSH.
- It begins to install and crashes AltStore.
It has been a couple of weeks since this started happening, so I had hoped by now there would be more reports about this and possibly a resolution.
(There is no crash log for iSH because it wouldn't install.)
Device: iPad Pro 12.9" 2018
OS: iPadOS 14.3
AltStore version: 1.4.5b
iSH ticket: #1334

Research direction
Start by reproducing the installation crash using the linked iSH source on the listed iPadOS and AltStore versions, then inspect the linked AltStore Beta crash log and related iSH ticket #1334. Done means AltStore installs iSH from that source without crashing, with a regression test or other verification added if the relevant code path is identified.
