AltStore Installation Error: "File doesn't exist" (RESOLVED)

[geekalert]

Describe the issue
Error "The file doesn't exist" appears when attempting to install UTM SE from AltStore source, https://alt.getutm.app.

Configuration (required)

• UTM Version: N/A - cannot install
• OS Version: iPadOS 15.3
• Device Model: iPad Pro 2018 12.9"
• Is it jailbroken (name jailbreak used)? No
• How did you install UTM? Always used AltStore in the past

Crash log
If the app crashed, you need a crash log. To get your crash log, open the Settings app and browse to Privacy -> Analytics & Improvements -> Analytics Data and find the latest entry for UTM. You should export the text and attach it here.

-> N/A; I do not have a crash log because I cannot install the app.

Debug log
For all issues, including crashes, you should attach a debug log. Open UTM, and open the settings for the VM you wish to launch. Near the bottom of the configuration options (or at the top of the QEMU page) is Debug Log. Turn it on and save the VM. After you experience the issue, quit the VM and re-launch UTM. Open the VM settings again and select Export Log... and attach it here.

-> N/A; same as above.

Upload VM
(Optional) If possible, upload the config.plist inside the .utm. If you do not have this, you can upload the entire .utm but note this contains your personal data. Since GitHub has an attachment size limit, you may want to upload to another service such as Google Drive. Link it here.

-> N/A

Make sure you’re not out of disk space.

Negative. I am using 40.5 GB of 512 GB. It was literally installed 10 minutes earlier, but AltStore had expired so I decided to uninstall and reinstall AltStore and my apps — as I have done many times over the past couple of years. I've been a user since UTM was super early days.

Here are the full details:

• I can add the repo, no problem and can see both UTM and UTM SE packages as "installable" in AltStore, as expected.
• I can install UTM (non-SE version) through AltStore without issue (but I cannot use it because I am on v15.3).
• I can install UTM SE by downloading the IPA and sideloading it through AltStore, without error.
• When I try to install SE from AltStore, I get the error that the file is not found, as stated.
• I am a long-time regular user of both AltStore and UTM, experienced with installing and re-installing both.
• I first noted this issue a few weeks ago when I was trying to apply an "update" AltStore said it had. Since I already had it installed and it was functioning correctly, I didn't worry about it at the time. I thought someone else would have been reported by now and the connection to the installer would have been fixed.

This is a legit issue, not really a "discussion". Something is definitively wrong with how the UTM AltStore source is trying to distribute the file for the SE version ONLY. That's suspect. I would appreciate if you looked into it @osy . I have all of my mobile dev environments in UTM because it's an absolute brilliant utility. You have made a truly amazing, invaluable tool. It's would be a serious bummer to be without it for long. In the meantime, I will install from IPA, but please see if you can correct the AltStore connection to file.

Thank you.

It's a discussion because it's not a UTM issue. As in there's no code changes to UTM. Don't take it personally.

I think the repo link is outdated. I triggered a refresh in the repo generation. Try again and let me know.

Not personal, just didn't want it to get sidelined as a discussion vs something that needed attention. I appreciate you looking into it, and I can confirm that the issue has been resolved. Thank you, sir. Keep up the amazing work!
