Describe the bug

I downloaded the genshin impact 5.6 update's .ipa file from decrypt.day today and then i ran it via playcover, the game loaded the hoyoverse login screen. i entered my details and password but when i clicked login i got the "invalid parameters" error, this issue has happened before. I'm using playcover nightly

i've enabled jailbreak bypass, game didn't run, i set app category from .none to .game, didn't run either, system integrity protection is disabled.

Steps to reproduce

Download 5.6 .ipa and run it on playcover

When clicking the login button after entering credential you're met with a "Invalid Parameters" error message and the game doesn't let you enter

I have previously encountered the same issue, but was able to fix it by clearing Genshin's PlayChain Data (Right-click on Genshin's App icon in Playcover -> Clear PlayChain Data), then opening Genshin's app settings and enabling both PlayChain and PlayChain debugging in the Bypass menu. I hope this helps!
