This is not true. iOS components were always stripped out until now.
- joshumax 9y agoThis, while probably seemingly unimportant to a lot of people, is extremely great news for a project I'm a part of! We're working on a full iPhone emulator based on QEMU, and currently, while we are able to boot into early userspace from an unmodified iOS image, the release of the iOS-specific code will be quite helpful in speeding up bug elimination and the development of the virtual graphics hardware that can get us past a basic graphical framebuffer.
- FractalNerve 9y agowow, interesting! Where can I find your project?
- KGIII 9y agoProbably this: https://github.com/joshumax/QEMU-s5l89xx-port https://github.com/joshumax/QEMU-s5l89xx-port Or this: https://github.com/nvsio/qemu-ios https://github.com/nvsio/qemu-ios Found sort of via this: https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/6crw5t/question_nor_flash_dumps_of_various_idevices/ https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/6crw5t/question_... I assume they won't mind my sharing. They posted it publicly with the same username and have public Git pages.
- FractalNerve 9y agoYou've incredible search skills! Thank you very much =))
- joshumax 9y agoActually, you saved me a post! Thanks! Although quick note, a lot of work is being done in a private repo until it passes the "clean room" test, after which it will be pushed to the public repos. :)
