Describe the bug

In some games/apps while you have PlayTools installed correctly, you'll notice that Keymapping plugin is not available when you open the game or app and it doesn't have a MenuBar dropdown either.

Steps to reproduce

Install latest stable release of PlayCover 2.0 (didn't test before versions but maybe it's there too)
Install Sonic the Hedgehog (download link)
Open the game, you'll notice the Keymapping plugin is not there even when PlayTools is installed and changed the resolution

Expected behaviour

Games/Apps should have Keymapping plugin correctly installed when PlayTools is injected into them.

Crash log

None

What version of PlayCover are you using?

Nightly/beta

What version of macOS are you using?

Ventura (macOS 13)

Issue Language

Yes my issue is written in English

It does looks like PlayTools initialized (you can see the resolution and Discord IPC starting)
I wonder if this is something the game intentionally does?

Yeah I can confirm that PlayTools works.

It's possible, I've also tested JB Bypass. nothing showed up.
