Describe the issue

This is a problem I've faced in a couple games like Idolm@ster Shiny Festa, the game released when 16:9 iPhones were the norm and discontinued before apple switched to wider aspect ratios. If the app is installed normally usually the game runs correctly in a full 16:9 view with pillarboxing, this is not the case in livecontainer

Instructions to reproduce

run a legacy app (usually games) designed for 16:9 iPhones

What version of LiveContainer and iOS are you using?

3.6.1-Release iOS 18.1.1

Verify steps

I downloaded LiveContainer from releases / actions section or LiveContainer's AltStore source.
I have the latest LiveContainer.
I installed LiveContainer through AltStore/SideStore/TrollStore or I'm confident that I signed LiveContainer correctly with all required entitlements.
I have tried to sideload the app normally through free sideloaders and I did not encounter the same problem

The name, version the app having issues

Idolm@ster Shiny Festa Melodic Disc
V1.0.4
(Now delisted)
