Because if I write an app for iOS, I can't mess with Safari's address space. But if I have a UIWebView in my address space and I can use it to get a hold of memory pages with their executable bits marked, I could use that to do all manner of things that are normally forbidden.

- msbarnett 16y agoThat's a reasonable question, and for all we know, the failure of Nitro in that use case may well be a bug.
