Try reinstall livecontainer through sidestore.

If it still doesn't work, please send crash report in ios settings -> privacy & security -> analytics & improvements-> analytic data -> search livecontainer

Please try this build and see if the crash still exists.https://github.com/hugeBlack/LiveContainer/actions/runs/12611319081

I believe there's something wrong with your LiveContainer/SideStore setup. Please check the jitless diagnose page and https://github.com/khanhduytran0/LiveContainer/issues/265#issuecomment-2558409380 for help

That build worked, I was able to patch SideStore. After I installed some apps and tried to open the first one, LiveContainer crashed and now crashes instantly whenever I try to open it. So it fixed the SideStore patch but probably created another problem

I see a bunch of files with SideStore in the name, should I export all of them? I don't think they are sorted by date.

Search LiveContainer and export the recent one. Please open it and check if the date is today before uploading.

Or do you mean SideStore crashed?

Actually both apps crash now when I try to open them, but it started after I attempted to open an app inside LiveContainer. I'll send you the most recent LiveContainer log.

Did you try to refresh SideStore before patching? That might be the root cause

I don't believe so.

Here's one of the files from today. It will only be possible to download the file once:

Alright, LiveContainer's crash seems to be a problem with LiveContainer itself. Can you manually remove the last app you installed using Files app? You can find it in LiveContainer Folder -> Applications -> yourApp.app

If I delete the apps, I can open LiveContainer. After I install something and try to open it, the problem reappears. Tried with 2 different apps. Also noticed that even if I delete all apps and I'm able to open LiveContainer, I still cannot open SideStore, not sure if this is supposed to happen with the patch.
This is my diagnostics screen. It was like this the first time I successfully patched SideStore with the build you mentioned (before the crashs started). Now I see something is off because certificate information should be green. I cannot re-patch it as it crashes (maybe due to SideStore crashing as well).

You need to reinstall SideStore, be sure to sideload SideStore ipa inside SideStore immediately after installing. Then, confirm you can refresh SideStore before patching.

As for LiveContainer crashing issue, I'll make a new build in a few minutes. Please try to switch signer to ZSign and install that app again. The app you are installing might not be compatible with AltSign.

I ended up following a different approach with a proper certificate for sideloading.
