This is very cool. I'd love to read more about how it works. I think they're running a dedicated iOS simulator for each app and streaming the user input/video output via Flash. Even their $60/mo plan has a limit of 10 simultaneous viewers, so I imagine it's pretty taxing on their hardware.
They must be capturing the output at some deeper layer though since OpenGL doesn't render (but it does run).
- guelo 16y agoMaybe, except that these demo apps, Yelp, Hipmunk, etc. are probably seeing 100s of simultaneous viewings right now. I guess they could have racks and racks of mac minis.
- tlrobinson 16y agoI'm guessing they increased the limit for the demos for free. I wouldn't be surprised if a single machine could run a dozen or two apps simultaneously, if they were able to trick the simulator into running multiple instances.
