Describe the bug

After the latest commit that replaced the 8-folder NSUserDefaults system, apps are experiencing:

Random crashes (Instagram and others) -> until they don't launch at all anymore
Apps signing account out after every launch
Issues don't always happen immediately -> sometimes after multiple launches or time

What helped was deleting and installing the previous (now deleted) commit with the 8 NSUserdefauls.

I think it may be recursion in the hooks building up the stack

This is the only crashreport i could find for that day. The time seems to match when i first launched with the new nightly, but may be unrelated.

Instructions to reproduce

sign in to instagram (original unmodified version)
quit app
launch again -> repeat until it starts crashing immediately
after about 5 crashes it works (you are logged out but can see the account name) and then it starts crashing again

What version of LiveContainer and iOS are you using?

latest nightly

Other info

No response

The crashes are fixed and it works for most apps, but the sign outs persist for some apps such as Pure (id690661663) and Twinby (id1595084386).
When you restart the app you always have to sign in again

edit: looks like this is related to google sign in

We've found another approach to solve this issue, but it may have some issue and does not support all iOS versions. Please have a try https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/actions/runs/16122895398
