> JIT Support on iOS

This has been such an under-commented on factor of the whole "EU is going to force third-party rendering engines on iOS!" bit. Would Apple allow apps to support JIT? A new entitlement browser developers must apply for? It'll be interesting :)

I doubt it.

Apple already takes this approach to limit some entitlements to web browsers on macOS. See the Passkey entitlement as an example:

com.apple.developer.web-browser.public-key-credential

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/en...

LuaJit lists ios as supported: https://luajit.org/status.html#ios

Does anyone know if this is accurate? Was it true for old versions and no longer supported?
