Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/issues/1042

Describe the bug

Device: iPhone Air on iOS 26.1
Version: Sideloading (No Jailbreak)
Watusi Version: 25.35.72
Bundle Error:
net.whatsapp.WhatsApp and com.fouadraheb.watusi

Missing LC_ID_DYLIB load command entirely
Expected: Watusi should load properly in LiveContainer like other tweaks.

Instructions to reproduce

Install Watusi 25.35.72 IPA via LiveContainer
Launch WhatsApp → instant crash

What version of LiveContainer and iOS are you using?

3.6.1

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.

Crash Log

Other info

Previous versions of WhatsApp, like 25.28.75, worked correctly, but newer versions are failing. I downloaded them from the official Git repository https://github.com/FouadRaheb/Watusi-for-WhatsApp

This error occurred previously, and the nightly build worked, but now even that doesn't work.

I hope you can help us with this detail. In any case, thank you very much for all the support you give us and for the great LiveContainer tool.

@hugeBlack commented on GitHub (Dec 17, 2025):

Looks like they finally reached the point where it's impossible to even allocate a few bytes in Mach-O header for injecting MH_DYLIB command which is required in LC. Impossible to fix unfortunately. Let's hope they will realize this when it's impossible to inject LC_CODE_SIGNATURE.

khanhduytran0 found a way to get around this. We'll try to fix this soon
