For those who are wondering, you can still use an embedded webview, which does end up doing just-in-time compilation of javascript.

- m_mueller 12y agoIsn't JIT deactivated in webviews? I'm not even entirely sure it's activated in JavascriptCore.
- snowwrestler 12y agoAs of iOS 8, webviews have the same JavaScript engine as Safari does, called Nitro, which I believe does do JIT compilation of JavaScript.
- firloop 12y agoWell, UIWebView (the standard web view, pre iOS8) does not have Nitro, but WKWebView (introduced in iOS8) has Nitro. The only problem is that while they are similar, the WKWebview API is not feature complete with UIWebView, leading to a lack of adoption from big players such as Chromium.
