I'm planning to release version 3.2.0 in the following weeks; please help me to test out the new version.
This version focuses on compatibility issues, bug fixes, and QOL changes, so there are not many new features in this version.
Although I have already tested these features on a small scale, I'm still uncertain whether these new features (especially dlsym fixes) contain severe issues. So I'd like you to help me test it out.

Note

This update introduces a change in how settings are stored. Downgrading after updating will result in the loss of all app-specific settings. Please remember to reinstall the second LiveContainer to prevent data conflict.
Additionally, some apps may display a black screen and crash after 10 seconds in v3.2.0. Please refer to the "Black Screen Fix" section below for more details.
You can download the latest nightly build of v3.2.0 in my branch.

New Features

Black Screen Fix

The Black Screen Fix is no longer applied automatically to prevent loading UIKit.framework before the app’s main executable is opened, which could cause symbol binding issues. You can enable it in Long press app -> Settings -> enable Fix Black Screen

App Group Isolation

You can now isolate app groups for different containers, allowing multiple accounts (e.g., in SideStore) to be signed in within separate containers. You can find files inside app group in container folder -> LCAppGroup

You can enable this feature by: Long press app -> Settings -> (Container name) -> enable Isolate App Group
Fix #279

Open URL Automatically

You can now automatically open an URL in current app without being prompted.
Implement #285

Ignore Error During dlopen

This fixes errors like dlsym(xxxx, xxxx) caused by app's initializers calling dlsym with a non-existing symbol

Fix issues like #124

Better App Signature Check

The team ID used in app signing is now considered when determining if an app needs re-signing. This allows apps to be re-signed if they are transferred between LiveContainers installed by different Apple IDs.

JIT-Less Mode Diagnose Page & LiveContainer Help

A new JIT-Less Mode Diagnose Page helps new users quickly identify configuration issues. Problematic items are highlighted in red for easy troubleshooting.

You can see this page in Settings -> JIT-Less Mode Diagnose.
You can see LiveContainer help in Apps -> ? Button

Bug Fixes & Compatibility

Separate App-Specific Settings from Info.plist

App-Specific Settings is now saved in a different file to prevent app from crashing due to reading it.

Fix #277

Hook dlsym(RTLD_MAIN_ONLY,xxx)

Redirect this call to the app's main executable instead of LiveContainer's to prevent issues.

Fix #124 #130 #140 #221 #225

Don't Link against UIKit.framework

This solution is provided by khanhduytran0
UIKit.framework is now not linked by LiveContainer's main executable to prevent symbol binding issues. However this will prevent the black screen fix to be automatically applied.

Fix #277 #272 #200 #139

App Hiding Without Device Password

App hiding now works even if the device doesn’t have a password set.

Fix #281

(Regression) Fix 2 Bugs in NSUserDefaultsHook in 3.1.0

Fix long press actions of last guest app remain

Fix #235
