What's the issue

I think they meant to ask if its possible to import a sideloaded app from altstore into a livecontainer. Poor wording but its whatever

You might need to decompress the backup and put it into app's data folder. We provide no support for this.

Oh yeah ive done this before heres how i did it

Backup all of your app’s data in the ios files app somewhere on the phone or on a usb / sd
Remove the app from altstore / sidestore
Install the app in LiveContainer
Boot up the app and make a data folder
Import your backup into where livecontainer has your app data
Profit
