Description
Description
A feature that is opt-in where you can have AltServer automatically open and close (if it was not previously open) the Mail app whenever AltStore requests a refresh.
This would be very convenient as it could automate the entire process in the background.
FYI I don't actually use the Mail app so I only open it to refresh apps.
