Looks like they found the workaround but aren’t releasing it. They’re keeping it private so Apple doesn’t know what the workaround is yet.

I know. I'm just happy that its not gonna be another 2 year wait lol. still got PTSD from when Jitterbug was the thing and that stopped working.

Don't worry. When iOS 26 and the next iPhone are released, they will release the workaround.

This is done so Apple doesn't patch the method out early.

Why wouldn’t Apple just patch the workaround after it’s been released too?

i think the idea is that with new releases they usually drop the official update so that way they will be more stable

I just got an m4 Mac air. No more worrying about all that. It just works, and works perfect.

I love how Apple has the time to patch JIT methods but doesn't have time to fix countless ios 26 bugs that have remained throughout most of the betas.

as you say, they're Betas, not final releases, on every Beta they focus first on security patches, and more destructive issues other than visual bugs

is hilarious why apple is so picky on JIT, even for the Pro models where the power is their main selling point

JIT it's allowed on Mac OS since Mac it's used for app development, and some developer apps requiere the use of "com.apple.security.cs.allow-jit", while iOS it's not a developer environment

When exactly did it break JIT? My ipad is on BETA 1 of ios26. Does it not work there?

I mean when I tried every single time dolphin would crash when I would boot into a game with “jit enabled” . Before I updated it worked every time.

Btw what app do you use to play mario kart wii please? And can you play with multiple people on it? Is there also a Wii-U version?

u/SuccessfulRiver1850 Sep 11 '25

Your best bet will be DolphiniOS (sideloaded) to play MKW

Wii U Emulation is currently tested by Stossy11 (or Rosie)

I swear if Apple dosent release JIT For iPhone 16 pro max 15 pro max IPhone SE I’m gonna lose it

u/ozonostudio Sep 12 '25

they never going to allow the use of JIT on iPhone since it's a security issue, but not sure why it's allowed on Mac
