- terrycody 4y agoI knew this, the company sued before by Apple, thus the service will not open to normal users, what a pity.
- TazeTSchnitzel 4y agoThere are also projects that have gotten versions of iOS running in QEMU: • https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34095830 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34095830 • https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30545425 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30545425 I don't know how usable they are for this kind of use-case though.
- saagarjha 4y agoThey're not quite at the level of being able to run arbitrary apps, but might get there soon?
- TazeTSchnitzel 4y agoYeah. I expect GPU emulation to be a significant hurdle, I'm not sure if Apple's fallback software rendering will work well enough or at all?
- saagarjha 4y agoI believe all the emulation projects are using software rendering at the moment, including Corellium? Last I checked their graphics stack didn't seem all that advanced, and I know the QEMU forks are just using the fallback and can display SpringBoard with it.
- TazeTSchnitzel 4y agoThat's also what I've been assuming. Maybe the performance/featureset will be okay for games, I'm not sure.
- terrycody 4y agoThanks guys for the sharing, hope the thing will mature one day.
