Description

AltServer silently crashes or closes upon trying to install AltStore. I have made sure that the mail plugin is enabled and that Mail is running but that is the result of my testing.

happens after I attempt to authenticate to install AltStore.

Device: M1 iPad Pro (11 inch)
Mac: 2017 15 inch MacBook Pro (i7)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the AltStore installation on the reported M1 iPad Pro, 2017 MacBook Pro, and macOS Big Sur setup, with Mail and the mail plugin enabled. Investigate what happens after authentication when AltServer silently closes; done means installation completes without AltServer closing.
