Describe the bug

Tapping the SideStore button (top-left of Apps page) in the LiveContainer+SideStore build causes the app to be killed by the iOS watchdog

LiveContainer-2026-02-19-114813.txt

. The main thread is stuck in _dispatch_once_wait inside _UIApplicationConfigurationLoader._loadInitializationContext. LiveContainer itself opens and works fine — the crash only occurs when launching the built-in SideStore.

Termination reason from crash log:

FRONTBOARD 0x8BADF00D
process-launch watchdog transgression: exhausted real (wall clock) time allowance of 20.00 seconds
Elapsed total CPU time (seconds): 11.760 (user 6.260, system 5.500), 10% CPU
Elapsed application CPU time (seconds): 0.091, 0% CPU

Faulting thread (main thread) backtrace:

__ulock_wait
_dlock_wait

-[_UIApplicationConfigurationLoader applicationInitializationContext]

Instructions to reproduce

1. Download LiveContainer+SideStore.ipa v3.7.0 from the latest GitHub release
2. Install via Impactor with "Only Register Main Bundle" selected
3. Verify the app in Settings → General → VPN & Device Management
4. Open LiveContainer (works fine)
5. Tap the SideStore button in the top-left corner of the Apps page
6. App immediately closes (killed by watchdog)

What version of LiveContainer and iOS are you using?
