StikJIT

An iOS XCFramework that enables JIT for another process over the device's RSD tunnel.

JIT cannot be enabled in-process, since a process that attaches a debugger to itself deadlocks. StikJIT runs in a separate process, attaches a debugserver to the target by PID, enables JIT for it, then detaches. It is self-contained: the idevice FFI and universal.js are bundled inside. The target must have the get-task-allow entitlement.

Use

Because it needs a separate process, you call StikJIT from a small app extension that your app launches and hands the target app's PID to (for example over XPC). StikJIT does not include that extension, its launch, or the pairing file; your app provides those.

Add StikJIT.xcframework to the extension (Embed & Sign), then call it off the main thread:

import StikJIT

try StikJIT.enableJIT(
    targetPID: hostPID,             // process to enable JIT for
    pairingFile: pairingFileURL,    // device pairing file
    progress: { print("[StikJIT] \($0)") }
)

It blocks until done and throws StikJITError on failure. Pass configuration: to override the tunnel endpoint (defaults to 10.7.0.1:49152).
