Hello, in this topic I would like to discuss Apple Arcade apps, in particular why most of the apps (after decryption) crash when installed via tools like Sideloadly.
With TrollStore there doesn't seem to be any complications, the apps just work.
What causes this dual behavior?Does it perhaps concern that in all the tests I did the IPAs were signed with free apple developer certificates and therefore it was not possible to "sign" all the iPA's entitlements and as soon as the app notices it crashes?
Some people on other forums say it's a form of DRM but I don't think that's the case.
I wonder if there's a way to actually "patch" the apps so that they can be installed normally.
Let me know if to upload the decrypted iPAs so that you can look for yourself. (Chess+ [com.chess.chessarcade] is what I've tried)

That successfully prevents the app from crashing but the app refuses to do anything, it remains stuck on a black screen.
Here's the decrypted iPA https://filebin.net/ijwbe4dz9bnn5oxy (Frameworks aren't decrypted and the plist is untouched)
Also is not that I want to make this specific app work is that I want to know more on why it actually doesn't work
