Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayCover/issues/1603

A recent change made the download for Genshin Impact resolve to what is presumably an error page. PlayCover tries to parse this as a zip file, giving a central directory error.
See #1597

Describe the solution you'd like

To not give the same error as an incomplete zip file.

Anything else?

N/A

The "problem" of the Genshin Impact IPA is that it is a Google Drive file, I added a way to detect if it's a GD file and return the correct download link. The error "zip file" is 99.99% a "Quota Limit reached" error of Google Drive (in that specific case). The only way to detect it is check every time there is a download if the page has a "quota limit" text but is too much "expensive"

I was thinking less of a "get the right download link from parsing the page" and more "the file that was downloaded isn't an IPA, tell user"

This is technically already implemented, as the IPA library has a SHA256 hash checker. However, the issue is that IPA providers currently do not provide the SHA256 hash.
