The installation is aborted when cryptid 1.

Describe the solution you'd like

Using appdecrypt to decrypt encrypted ipa

Anything else?

I believe that the first versions of PlayCover used ipatool and then decrypted the ipa on device.
Finding decrypted ipa for some apps can be very difficult, especially now with the jailbreak situation.
I am not sure if the kernel will reject if platform is not iOS.
If any info is known how the earlier versions did this, I can volunteer to implement it.
