Finally, local iOS virtualization without third-party hacks. Huge win for CI pipelines, though macOS host dependencies still limit scale.

> during iOS setup, don't pick Japan or the EU as your region (extra regulatory checks the VM can't satisfy)

I'm curious what are these checks

This seams neat, but I'm not sure I understand the purpose/difference between this and using the iOS simulator.

Can this be used for account recovery?

Does this include a virtual baseband?

Will there ever be a day where I could run this on a PC or something like it?

Is this what apple does in xcode?

This project is really cool its a shame you have to disable or partial disable SIP which can break some things.

Interesting project. If it actually works it opens up a ton of possibilities for testing and reverse engineering.

What a release! Congrats to the builder, lots of great work done here and in IOS profiling in general has been done here recently. Corellium went research only and I lost the ability to actually profile my applications the way I'd like. I've got a fun thing over coffee in the morning!
