Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/issues/326

Describe the issue

I have tried a few apps that explicitly request access to health data (Gentler Streak and Athlytic), but when the prompt to enable access should appear, nothing happens and the app gets stuck, waiting for permission.

Instructions to reproduce

Start the app and continue until prompted to access health data

What version of LiveContainer are you using?

3.2.0

Other

Maybe a solution could be to add a feature in LiveContainer that directly handles the data access request, perhaps with a dedicated button in the settings. This way, it could trigger the permission request and then internally redirect it to the individual apps that require access.

Unfortunately, due to a issue in AltSign (the thing altstore/sidestore used to sign LiveContainer itself), LiveContainer won't be signed with healthkit related entitlements. So guest apps cannot access health data.

We might need to wait AltSign's developer to solve this issue
