Wuthering Waves can run with sudo after installation with PlayCover. I guess this may help other app/games therefore creating this as a feature request.

Describe the solution you'd like

Just add an option to run iOS app/game with sudo. PlayCover itself does not need to run with admin access, to minimize the impact of security.

Anything else?

Apps on MacOS should generally not be run as sudo, as it can cause undesirable behaviors and is not the best course for fixing broken applications. See #1478 for the Wuthering Waves fix.
