No mention of "Cider" ? IOS emulator

[Rad99004]

Maybe I missed it but I didn't see any mention of "Cider"

My guess is Apple will shut this down very quickly.

It was a proof of concept. And Apple doesn't have to do anything, the University already disabled the link to the paper.

The base of iOS is there for anyone to look at.

I wouldn't mind running this on my Mac under emulation. It'd be amazing as long as it was tweaked to use all my RAM and such.

as WINE is legal, I can't see researching/making a program to do this being a problem.

the tough part would be distribution since everything iOS is distributed through the app store, except what isn't, and it would be really difficult to migrate apps from your app store account to a fake ios device I'm sure. Somehow you'd be violating the terms of some agreement along the way or the DMCA...

which is bull, imho. That is a neat kind of innovation, shame it'd be hindered.

Reminds me of the guy who got iOS apps running on the PlayBook.
