Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/issues/710

It would be really helpful if LiveContainer could support syncing sideloaded apps across devices. Right now, when switching to a new iPhone or iPad, all the containers (and the apps inside them) have to be manually reinstalled.

The idea is to:
• Automatically restore previously installed apps/containers when setting up on a new device
• Use iCloud or another sync method to save our LiveContainer setup
• Avoid the need to manually redownload everything or lose progress
• Improve the experience for people who switch devices or upgrade regularly

This would make LiveContainer feel more reliable and future-proof, especially for users who rely on it to play games or run apps across devices.

iCloud requires paid developer account, and syncing data in general will slow down the app if running in the background. Instead just AirDrop LiveContainer data to your new device. (note: we don’t have export/import button at the moment)
