I mostly use an old phone on 16.6. iOS 17/18 is harder; you can jailbreak that if you have an iPad 7th Gen (technically iPadOS, but whatever). I have a couple but prefer the iPhone since it's less clunky to lug around!

I've seen some rumors of that device not supporting iPadOS 19, so I'm not really sure what the plan is if that's true. Maybe everyone starts forking money over to Corellium.

I certainly like them by default, but I get that others don't - one thing I could do is have them paused by default if `prefers-reduced-motion` is on. Though I'm curious if you (or any other folks here) have this enabled.

(would have added this ages ago if I knew this existed; not a CSS expert, just seeing it now by checking if web has an equivalent of iOS' `UIAccessibility.isReduceMotionEnabled`. neat!)

(also, these comments are way too kind. thanks all!)

As best as I can tell, it’s just unreasonably paranoid — they do some very cool things with widgets that it seems like they were trying to protect (though those strategies are starting to leak out anyways)

There were some interesting things in the binary still. At one point I was trying to figure out why I was looking at code that looked like it was downloading a Windows .iso; turns out it was, and it was used for a network speed test widget!

Hey all! Author here, happy to answer any questions. Thanks xmprt for sharing!

I could imagine _some_ arguments for it back when it was first introduced (first reference I can find to it is from 2004) — this was pre OS X Sandbox, let alone SIP. It makes sense that some OS X apps would want to prevent being debugged by other (potentially malicious) apps. Semi developer-hostile in my opinion, but I get it.

That being said, on modern iOS... the benefit seems pretty minimal. Even Apple agrees https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/701621
