Very cool, I wish jailbreak wasn't needed! Hopefully this shows Apple that people want to use their iPad as coding machines too...
BTW, few years ago this guy made some Xcode remote before joining Apple Xcode team :) - https://twitter.com/LouisDhauwe/status/1008071487721439233/v...
But that's only part of the problem. Still until Apple would give us the ability (similar to Android) running unsigned / not from App Store / no timebombs certs (similar to Android unknown sources), iOS is the most propriety platform and that's a shame.
I plug my small iPad Pro into my USB-C interface large monitor and a few applications take advantage of dual screens to show different content.
For now, I find that I can code while traveling using a remote Linux server, Working Copy, Prompt ssh shell app, and Textastic for local editing. Not very convenient, but it works.
What is convenient on my iPad while traveling is writing. I use leanpub with markdown files stored in a github repo for each book, edit and do git stuff with Working Copy, and generate review PDFs on leanpub’s web app. This works fine. On rare occurrences I use Microsoft Word on my iPad, works great, but I prefer markdown and leanpub.

Working Copy is an amazing graphical Git client and integrates fully with iOS Files.
But for now SSH/Mosh via Termius feels closer to a traditional dev environment. It gives me full access to the command line, tmux, vim, etc., and mapping caps lock → esc sidesteps the lack of an iPad escape key and would be my default on a computer anyway.
I would love to have the best of both worlds: a traditional dev environment local to my iPad and integrated with native iOS APIs.
I have been using Textastic for a long while with Working Copy. What are the advantages of Kodex over Textastic that you have seen?
