Hi I doubt anyone is going to see this but also as a developer this is quite exciting. Some MacOS apps have an app store compliant version, and a more supercharged version that, for instance, accesses private APIs. Now this will also be an option on IOS. For instance, making a music app and want to know what the app user is currently listening to? Well you can do
but the second this code lands in your app it sure as hell won’t be getting accepted to the app store. This is just one example, there’s a world of opportunity here. It’s not just for installing emulators & modded apps. It’s a tool that will enable developers to do more with their apps, as they can freely do all sorts of things apple would not tolerate on the app store
