giovannidirenzo commented 2 months ago

the problem lies in the entitlements that are missing from playcover

I've found a resource about nuking the check and directly installing ipas without signing https://jhftss.github.io/Install-decrypted-IPA-on-M1-Mac/

maybe it is helpful to a dev

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_kernel_increased-memory-limit https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_kernel_extended-virtual-addressing These 2 entitlements are required but I think devs can add them since Playcover is a container and all of its controls are on us

itsfelipeh commented 2 months ago

I have a certificate with the all entitlements to an Apple developer. sign the game and it keeps crashing when starting.

kobimx commented 2 months ago

Quoting @itsfelipeh I've also tried just sining the app manually with the entitlements enabled for my custom bundle ID but it still crashes :/

But nonetheless it would be nice if we could manually add entitlements in PlayCover directly somehow

Everything works fine for me, but when installing with a double click on a previously signed IPA certificate

Can you elaborate on how you did it, please?

I bought an iApps developer certificate and I was issued a certificate for the UDID of my MacBook (You can see it in "Sideloadly!") After that, he signed the application with the issued certificate, and installed the already signed application directly in macOS by double-clicking on the ipa file

Could you provide more information about which device and version you're using, where you got the IPA file, and where you purchased the developer certificate? Also, could you send a screenshot of the Sideloadly configuration for signing the .ipa? Thank you very much.

Tg @mdfurman - bought a certificate from him

I didn't sign IPA through Sideloadly! And through ESign. UDID of the computer copied from Sideloadly!

I think he needs to create a certificate with the UDID of your M family MacBook and give it all the necessary permissions. After that, you need to sign the .ipa with isign or sideloadly. If someone can confirm this, thanks.

did you enable "Extended Virtual Addressing" and "Increased Memory Limit" through the developer website?

This project is great but, is it possible for you to implement the black bar fix? I've tried manually myself and haven't figured it out...

I managed to add the black bar fix to my IPA, and I made an app that will help you download the patched app and then patch the embedded.mobileprovision after installing. Hope this helps! https://github.com/isacucho/FnMacAssistant

Wait but how tho since my ins't really opening in the app I even press the "patch app" and still somehow it didn't work for me in play cover it just automatically crashes for me

Fortnite won't work through playcover. The required entitlements are added to a file that's generated after the app is installed through sideloadly. Install the downloaded IPA with the sideloadly app and after it says 'done' on sideloadly press the patch button on FnMacAssistant.

I'm thinking of making a video on how to get it to work, let me know if you think it would be easier.
