I would think Apple themselves are looking into this (probably on the processor level as they control that now) for iOS; in order to make it more free for devs / users while having software run securely sandboxed, they need a way of running 'anything' securely. So I don't think they mind users testing out different ways of making it work and learn from it.
Does that processor have hardware support for it already but Apple just doesn't do software support? So they can only use it themselves?
- saagarjha 8y agoSorry, I don't quite understand your question. Are you asking whether Apple has put support in their processors for running arbitrary code inside a sandbox?
- jakobegger 8y agoThey are asking if the A series Apple chips have virtualisation features like Intel VT-x
- saagarjha 8y agoI think they do, at least recent ones should. I don't think Apple has explicitly documented this anywhere, but I recall reading something like this recently.
