isideload

A Rust library for sideloading iOS applications using an Apple ID. Used in CrossCode and iloader.

This branch is home to isideload-next, the next major version of isideload. It features a redesigned API, improved error handling, better entitlement handling, and more. It is not ready!

TODO

Things left todo before the rewrite is considered finished

• Proper entitlement handling
  • actually parse macho files and stuff, right now it just uses the bare minimum and applies extra entitlements for livecontainer
• Reduce duplicate dependencies
  • partially just need to wait for the rust crypto ecosystem to get through another release cycle
• More parallelism and caching for better performance
