Describe the bug

I've noticed that some apps inside LiveContainer trigger a persistent “Sign in to iTunes Store” popup. In some cases, this dialog can be ignored, but for other apps it causes critical failures — like blocking account creation or login.

I suspect this may be due to:

Sideload detection, or
A mismatch between the Apple ID used for device login vs. the one used to sign the IPA

Possibly related APIs/entitlements:

com.apple.developer.in-app-payments
StoreKit / SKPaymentQueue
iTunesAccountStore

This also occurs when using Force Sign in LiveContainer, so it doesn't seem to be caused by improper signing alone.

Device info:

iPhone 15
iOS 17.1.1
PA dumped with DumpDecrypter, not cracked or modified

Instructions to reproduce

Example: Grindr

Ideally, this is the kind of app one might want to isolate within LiveContainer rather than keeping on the home screen, especially if not outed.

The Apple ID popup appears only during account creation, not on launch.

Even after logging in (via email or Google), it fails with the message:
“Please sign in to the iTunes Store and try again.”

Using Sign in with Google also fails: “Google authorization failed.

What version of LiveContainer are you using?

3.4.0

Other info

No response
