SideStore refresh fails in Shortcut unless Super VPN + IKEv2 + LocalDevVPN are all connected #93

I’m experiencing an issue with **SideStore refresh when using iOS Shortcuts.

I’m experiencing an issue with **SideStore refresh when using iOS Shortcuts. When I connect to Wi-Fi, enable SuperVPN, connect an IKEv2 VPN, and then start LocalDevVPN manually, SideStore refresh works without any problems. However, when I try to automate a similar process using a Shortcut (connect VPN, wait, start LocalDevVPN, wait, then refresh apps), I get the error “You do not appear to be connected to Wi-Fi and/or LocalDevVPN.” Wi-Fi is definitely connected and LocalDevVPN shows as connected, and the same steps work perfectly when done manually. I’ve also tried adding delays (10–20 seconds), but the Shortcut still fails most of the time. The only reliable way it works is if Super VPN is already connected before running the process. This makes me think there might be an issue with how SideStore detects network or VPN state when triggered via Shortcuts. Could this be a timing issue, a network detection limitation, or expected behavior?
