BUG: Altstore takes equivalent space of the app it signed. #1148

So for example, If I install a 50mb through altstore, altstore itself also takes up an extra 50mb space after it has signed the app. This is very annoying for 16gb device users. Please fix asap.

Device: iPhone 6s Plus iOS version: 15.6RC

Are you keeping the IPA stored on your phone? Once you install it through AltStore, you no longer need the download file if you want to remove that in order to free space.

No I am not keeping the files. Plus I am installing the apps from sources.

shanegillio commented 1 year ago

Even if you install the app from a source, the app data is stored on AltStore as well so that you can deactivate and reactivate with your data still there.
