Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/issues/662

I wonder how applications in LiveContainer recognize what device they are installed on.
For example, the Uber application, after new installing in LiveContainer (Nightly) ask:
"Is that you Xmy_nameX" (after clicking 'find my account'),
but it also detects that something is wrong and does not allow you to log in.

Can we prevent this somehow?

Other things to note on: you probably have your app previously sideloaded which syncs keychain over iCloud or something.
Also, these are stated in limitations:

  • App Permissions are globally applied.
  • Guest app containers are not sandboxed. This means one guest app can access other guest apps' data.

We can probably implement the latter using LiveProcess/LiveContainer2 & sandbox extension/URL bookmarking, but no plan currently.
