Well, on my first attempt I tried to dump it from my iOS device, I then checked and saw that it was damaged. I later searched for IPAs and got them from https://archive.org/details/minecraft-1.19.41

Hey! the original system ipa file is encrypted! macOS installer and Playcover can't install the app. you can try this:https://decrypt.day/

I used that link and searched up the Minecraft IPA and the same issue still occurs with this error. https://sourceb.in/xZYuXxXblj

This issue is known to happen with some versions of Minecraft. The Minecraft IPA shouldn’t be on decrypt.day too since it is a paid app.

Minecraft requires SIP to be off in order to run.

By the issue that is being described, the issue would probably be fixed by the latest nightly with PlayChain enabled. But regardless, Minecraft is a paid app. As Zhich said, we do not condone piracy.

Are there any workarounds/fixes for this crash? I've dumped a decrypted ipa from my iPad and it still crashes on PlayCover v3.0.0 (685)
