The new altstore classic. I don't touch pal.

I switched because sidestore had a stroke and fucking died for some reason.

Alright, so you are using AltStore 2.2?

Ye. Looks like using jit is weirder than with sidestore. GodDAMN it, apple.

I got the jit set up, but the patch still wont behave for jitLESS mode. Its genuinely really aggravating.

Hopefully you can update this pretty quickly.

Can you check the Account used to install AltStore and LiveContainer matches. This can be checked by going to iOS settings -> General -> VPN & Device Management -> (your account name). Check if both LiveContainer and AltStore are under the same account.

Well I can't reproduce this issue on altstore 2.2 so I have no clue, please try removing both lc and altstore and try a fresh new install. You can move all your apps in lc out and move them back then.

You can move all your apps out. They are at LiveContainer's folder, which can be found in Files app

Had to reinstall some apps (angry birds) because openSSL was weird, but otherwise that fixed it! Thank you!
