- swiley 7y agoish requires bypassing the App Store and is one of the only ways to run quite a lot of pretty basic everyday software on iOS.
- trevyn 7y agoFWIW, I believe that all TestFlight app releases also undergo the automated portion of the App Store approval process, which would be able to catch entitlements. If you're installing from source, that's another thing.
- saagarjha 7y agoCorrect. This is why iSH cannot dynamically generate code like say UTM can and must use software emulation via a threaded interpreter.
- bzb3 7y agoYeah, a Linux shell is not what I would call "basic everyday software" that I need to run in my phone.
- swiley 6y agoI need ssh and git for a lot of everyday stuff personally. Also a decent text editor shouldn’t be considered unusual software.
- jackjeff 7y agoIt would have worked and passed through the App checks. It’s not like the App is using private APIs. Now that Apple is aware of this class of bug, they may add automated checks to the plist files containing a super strict XML parser.
- johncolanduoni 7y agoTheir existing parser used during App Store submission already catches this. It’s the plurality of parsers on the device itself that allows this to happen when sideloading.
