iOS 16.5 kernel boots on Android hardware with HackiOS

Inference

What is hackios-xnu-kernel?

HackiOS lets you boot Apple's open-source XNU kernel, the core of iOS 16.5, on a Snapdragon Android phone or in QEMU. It loads a custom EFI, swaps out closed drivers and runs the unmodified iOS user space, including SpringBoard and apps, entirely from RAM.

Who it is for

Developers and security researchers can tinker with iOS internals on cheap Android devices without needing an iPhone.
