Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayCover/issues/1605

I was trying to open certain apps, however I get the popup of : code object is not signed at all, because they were not signed. There was one issue related to this, someone needing help with "Arceus X".

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to have an option to be able to run unsigned ipa files with a warning of it being unsigned and possibly dangerous or risky.

Anything else?

If you do not want to add this feature due to safety, I would like to know how I could fork and modify the project to allow unsigned ipas to be run.

And the app cannot be signed, as the developer refuses to do this. However, it should hopefully be possible to allow unsigned ipa execution.

Maybe you can self-sign the IPA with codesign as a temporary solution
