Problem Description:
The game starts normally and shows the user agreement. However, it crashes immediately after I click "Accept". The crash seems to be caused by the anti-cheat system.

I have already tried all the common solutions, including:

Enabling PlayChain.

A full, clean re-installation (including deleting the ~/Library/Containers/io.playcover.PlayCover folder and rebooting).
Changing the spoofed device model (iPad and iPhone).
The issue still persists.

Subject: [Bug Report] LifeAfter (明日之后) crashes on M3 Pro with latest Nightly build after accepting user agreement

Hello PlayCover Team,

First, I want to say thank you for all your hard work on this amazing project. I'm writing to report a persistent crash issue I'm experiencing with the game LifeAfter (明日之后) on my M3 Pro Mac.

My System Environment:

PlayCover Version: [Please enter your Nightly version number here, e.g., 3.0.0-nightly.1234]
macOS Version: macOS 14.4 (23E214)
Mac Model: MacBook Pro (M3 Pro, 18 GB RAM)
Game: LifeAfter (明日之后), version 2.0.399
Description of the Issue:
The game launches successfully and proceeds to the user agreement screen. However, immediately after I click "Accept" on the agreement, the application reliably crashes.

The crash report shows a Termination Reason: SIGNAL, Code 6 Abort trap: 6 and indicates that abort() called. This suggests that an anti-cheat or environment integrity check is being triggered after the agreement is accepted, causing the game to terminate itself.

Troubleshooting Steps Already Performed:
I have been troubleshooting this extensively and have already tried the following solutions, but the problem persists:

Enabled PlayChain in the game's settings.
Updated to the latest available Nightly build of PlayCover.
Performed a full, clean re-installation of PlayCover. This included deleting the application, deleting the ~/Library/Containers/io.playcover.PlayCover folder, rebooting the Mac, and then reinstalling the Nightly build and the game.
Tried spoofing different device models in the settings, including various iPad and iPhone models.
Despite all these steps, the crash continues to happen at the exact same point. It seems the game's latest security measures may not be fully bypassed by the current version, especially on the M3 architecture.

I have attached the full crash report for your detailed analysis.

Thank you again for your time and dedication. Please let me know if there is any further information or testing I can provide to help you diagnose and resolve this issue. I'm looking forward to a future update.

Best regards.
