Describe the bug

I am using LiveContainer+sidestore on iOS 26.

App in sidestore does not get refreshed unless I open sidestore manually before running refresh shortcut.

This breaks automated scheduled app refresh.

See attached video

App refresh does not work in following scenarios
Scenario 1 - LiveContainer is completely closed
Scenario 2 - LiveContainer is open

App refresh works with following scenario
Scenario 3 - Sidestore is open within LiveContainer

Instructions to reproduce

Run app refresh shortcut without opening sidestore.

What version of LiveContainer and iOS are you using?

Verify steps

I downloaded LiveContainer from releases / actions section or LiveContainer's AltStore source.
I have the latest LiveContainer.
I installed LiveContainer through AltStore/SideStore/TrollStore or I'm confident that I signed LiveContainer correctly with all required entitlements.

LiveProcess is required if you want to use the refresh shortcut.
