Describe the bug

When trying to inject playtools in some applications will fail, I suspect that it is an appname issue
The command line puts out the following text:

Please run 'lipo /Users/kbeilen/Library/Containers/io.playcover.PlayCover/Payback².app/Payback 2 Free -thin armv7 -output /Users/kbeilen/Library/Containers/io.playcover.PlayCover/Payback².app/Payback 2 Free_armv7' first
Inject /Users/kbeilen/Library/Frameworks/PlayTools.framework/PlayTools failed

The recommended lipo command fails when plainly copying over the command. Putting quotation-marks around the file names seems to work, but it still fails to inject playtools

Steps to reproduce

I have been able to reproduce this on 2 devices using the payback 2 app

download and install https://decrypt.day/app/id570426586
run playcover from the commandline (to see any error messages)
try to inject playtools

Expected behaviour

At the very least an error popup instead of having to read from the terminal, but obviously that playtools would install correctly

Crash log

No response

What version of PlayCover are you using?

2.0.1

What version of macOS are you using?

Monterey (macOS 12)
