#12As an experiment this is cool. As an excuse not to buy a Mac to do iPhone development this is insanely useless and a waste of time. Just buy a damn Mac if you are gonna do anything with iPhone development.

#13If nothing else, the codebase for this has shown me how relatively painless it is to hook into external library code within DLLs from Python. I’ve been using Python for what I’d describe as normal work for years and didn’t know it was that simple, given its a use case I’ve not encountered yet in my work life.
Perl is the defacto standard for this kind of stuff. It's easier here because the DLL is Objective C instead of pure C.
Has Perl been the defacto standard for anything in the last 10 years?

#14Anyone experience developing for iOS in Linux? I tried it a couple of years ago and it was pure pain. Apple's vendor login forces to buy and use XCode.
It's been terrible. Recently I had to reset my apple developer password, and they literally went "oh, you don't have any available apple hardware? Well.... We can still do it, but now it will take several days". And this is after 2FA through SMS. It's been a week now, and stil no update. I honestly think apple and their excellent marketing and previous decent hardware alternatives, is one of the worst things to happe…
> previous decent hardware alternatives
Apple Silicon seems like a pretty decent current hardware alternative, for some use cases at least
> It served the "not Windows"-itch for a couple of decades
For many people it also served the the Apple II, and pre-Windows-3 Macintosh, and iPod, and iPhone, and iPad, and Apple Watch, and AirPod itches, etc..

Yes, it's still the defacto standard for writing exploit or vulnerability POCs.

Use something like https://github.com/iGhibli/iOS-DeviceSupport to get the device support files, and https://pmbaty.com/iosbuildenv/ to develop apps
