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
