It boots Apple's open-source XNU kernel for iOS 16.5, then runs the unmodified iOS 16.5 user space on top, using a custom EFI loader, custom drivers that replace Apple's closed drivers, a UEFI port and Linux Wi-Fi drivers on a compatibility layer. The source is on GitHub under the Apple Public Source License 2.0, and a Telegram community has more than 17,000 participants.","whyItMatters":"The project is only viable because Apple's XNU kernel is open source, so its practical reach depends on how far the unmodified user space runs and on community funding, which comes from a 1% fee on the $HackiOS token.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eDevelopment is open to anyone, and status is shared in a Telegram community that the project says has more than 17,000 participants.
