Describe the bug

When I first downloaded the api, the issue described here https://docs.playcover.io/getting_started/troubleshoot_login#1 popped up, which is that it said "Invalid Parameter". I tried troubleshooting including using a different boot-arg but it did not work. I could not login with my Hoyoverse account, but I could login with my icloud account but that means restarting all my progress in the game. One issue might be that I forgot to carry out step 2 before carrying out step 3 the first time, and then I went back and did it again.

step 1: open terminal
step 2: type cd ~/Library/Containers/io.playcover.PlayCover/
step 3: type mkdir PlayChain

if youre wondering what it does, it creates a folder named PlayChain. yeah, thats all it does

None. SIP method has been deprecated. Reset your boot-args, turn SIP back on. then when it boots up, type the above commands in.
