Step 1: take an open-source emulator someone else wrote

Step 2: port it to iOS and load it up with ads and trackers

Step 3: sit back and watch the profits flow in

IOS didnt have emulators before?!

It had side loaded emulators but they were not allowed in the AppStore. Now they are.

You could use PWA web app emulators like afterplay.io but native app emulators were always banned from the App Store until now

Yeah that’s a no from me. Emulator does not need to track my location. <img alt="" src="https://odin.lanofthedead.xyz/pictrs/image/5e69da10-170d-49c5-9e7c-497d8012d678.jpeg">

It’s the first. Not the best. But good to see Apple actually is allowing emulators now. Waiting for Delta or Ignited
