Why does Apple ban JIT? It clearly doesn't ban emulation inherently, so why is emulation OK but not JIT?

iSH is great as an ssh client. It has a good font out of the box, so it displays tmux and neovim properly.

a-Shell should be faster than iSH for local stuff since the tools are compiled natively, but nothing on iOS, as far as I know, compares to Termux on Android.

a-Shell looks amazing, thanks for mentioning it

I don't have an iPhone, but wouldn't UTM be better for that use case?
reply
UTM can't be installed from the App Store unfortunately, and without a developer license you are limited to 7 days for each successful on-device reinstall
reply
Apple somewhat lifted the emulator restrictions on the App Store which means you can install UTM from here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/utm-se-retro-pc-emulator/id156...

Nice, I must've missed that. Downloading it right away :)

Edit: well, it's also very slow unfortunately. I believe iPhone CPUs either don't support virtualisation or they don't expose it (edit #2: it's the latter). Either way, QEMU is struggling quite a bit, and due to it being a GUI it's even slower than what iSH could do
