A Swift CLI tool that boots virtual iPhone instances on Apple Silicon Macs using Apple's Virtualization.framework and PCC research VM infrastructure. It automates the full pipeline of firmware download, boot-chain patching, DFU restore, and custom firmware installation to run iOS in a VM.
Use cases
- run a virtual iPhone on an Apple Silicon Mac
- create and manage iOS virtual machines from the command line
- patch iOS firmware and perform DFU restores for research
- clone or export iOS VMs with fresh device identities
- test jailbroken iOS variants in a sandboxed VM
- automate iOS VM creation for security research
When to choose
- you need to run iOS on macOS without physical devices
- you do iOS security or jailbreak research on Apple Silicon
- you want scriptable, repeatable iOS VM lifecycle management
- you need multiple isolated iOS instances for testing
When to avoid
- you are on Intel Macs or non-macOS hosts
- you need a simple iOS simulator for app development (use Xcode's simulator instead)
- you cannot relax SIP/AMFI on your host machine
- you need production-grade, officially supported iOS virtualization
