What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded
A Java-based framework that emulates Android (and experimentally iOS) native libraries on non-ARM hosts, including JNI, syscalls, and ARM32/ARM64 instruction emulation. It includes hooking, debugging, tracing, and an MCP server for AI-assisted debugging.
Use cases
- emulate an Android native library without a device
- reverse engineer Android native code
- call JNI functions from an emulated ARM binary
- debug ARM assembly with breakpoints and tracing
- analyze iOS native libraries with fishhook and objc runtime
- let AI tools like Cursor assist with native code debugging via MCP
When to choose
- you need to run or analyze Android .so files without a rooted device or emulator
- you want to reverse engineer or fuzz native Android/iOS code from Java
- you need fast ARM emulation with backends like dynarmic or Apple hypervisor
When to avoid
- you need to emulate full Android apps with UI rather than native libraries
- you need production iOS emulation - it is experimental
- you are not comfortable working at the native/assembly level
