Nyxian is a native iOS IDE that lets developers write, compile, sign, and run Swift, C, Objective-C, and C++ apps entirely on an iPhone or iPad without a jailbreak or cloud services. It includes a userspace microkernel for executing compiled code on stock, unjailbroken iOS via a developer certificate.
Use cases
- develop iOS apps directly on my iPhone without a Mac
- write and run Swift code on-device offline
- compile C and Objective-C on unjailbroken iOS
- Xcode alternative that runs on iPhone
- build and sign iOS apps using just a free developer certificate
- develop native iOS utilities while traveling with no computer
- run compiled code on stock iOS via a microkernel
When to choose
- you want to develop native iOS apps entirely on-device without a Mac or Xcode
- you need an offline-capable toolchain on unjailbroken iOS
- you want to experiment with Swift, C, or Objective-C on your iPhone
- you can sideload apps with a free or paid Apple developer certificate
When to avoid
- you need a full production-grade IDE with debugging, Interface Builder, and simulator support
- you require Swift typechecking/indexing, which is not yet complete
- you cannot or prefer not to sideload apps with a developer certificate
- you need stable, battle-tested tooling - the project is still in beta
