@AnkitFGM commented on GitHub (Jan 17, 2025):

found a workaround. Instead of installing 2nd container from primary container. I Downloaded a fresh live container ipa file.
Unzipped it.
removed ‘2’ from uidevicefamily.
Changed cfbundledisplayname to ‘livecontainer2’.
Changed cfbundleidentifier to com.kdt.livecontainer2
Changed cfbundlename no livecontainer2
changed CFBundleURLName to com.kdt.livecontainer2.urlscheme
changed cfbundleurlschemes to livecontainer 2.
Then sideloaded it using 2nd slot of sidestore.
Change Affected apps to shared folder.
Open those apps in 2nd container.
Everything seems to be working in sync.

Yes, this can be a workaround but one of the 2 live containers has to be in iPhone mode all the time.

Unfortunately, iOS decides whether the app can run in iPad mode by reading Info.plist, which happens before live container starts, so I think it's unlikely to solve this issue apart from this workaround.

Local notifications doesn’t work in 2nd container installed through this workaround.
Anything i shouldn’t have changed in info.plist which might be causing this?

The latest nightly version has implemented multitask feature, which provides a workaround for this issue. Please have a try. Do note that the memory limit it capped at 400 MB currently so apps with high memory usage might crash when using
