Iphone support - kevincrans - 10-09-2022
Since IOS 14.2, there is JIT support (simple google search).
Since recently Dolphin has been optimized for Metal.
Mac m1 is also already supported, as is the other mainstream mobile os, Android.
There are iOS builds on https://dolphinios.oatmealdome.me/ so isn't it time to merge it?
And then it can be published to the appstore.
Or at least, why not?

I'm the dev for DolphiniOS.
The JIT support in iOS 14.2 was a bug and it was fixed by Apple in iOS 14.4 beta 2. No third party app is allowed to use JIT legitimately on iOS.
In addition, Apple's App Store guidelines continue to prohibit emulators. If we were to submit to the App Store, it would be rejected immediately.
DolphiniOS has no choice but to remain as a fork until Apple (or, well, world governments through regulation) change the rules to allow apps like Dolphin.

Thank you for your response!
Oh, I didn't knew, too bad.
I guess I have to pay 99 per year to sign it (and other apps) and sideload it as a developer then (I think I have to email em, it's taking too long).
