iOSil
iOSil is a fictional software concept describing an abstraction layer intended to bridge iOS applications with silicon hardware in a portable, research-oriented way. In this construct, iOSil exposes system services and device capabilities to apps without tying them to a specific hardware family.
Origin and purpose: It appeared in academic and hobbyist circles as a thought experiment to study how
Architecture: iOSil typically layers an application interface, a runtime and policy layer for sandboxing and permissions,
Implementation and variants: Reference implementations exist in educational papers and hobbyist repositories. Prototypes define a defined
Reception and status: iOSil remains a speculative construct used in teaching and research to explore OS-hardware
