About the project
Research project that boots Apple's open-source XNU kernel (iOS 16.5) and the unmodified iOS user space on a POCO X5 Pro 5G Android phone or in QEMU on Linux, using a custom EFI loader, UEFI port and replacements for Apple's closed drivers.
Useful for
- Run iOS 16.5 in QEMU on Linux without a phone or kernel build
- Boot the system on a POCO X5 Pro 5G via fastboot boot without flashing storage
- Study how XNU, launchd and SpringBoard behave on non-Apple hardware

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 22, 2026, 10:55 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 09:57–10:51: 126 → 142 stars (+16). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +25 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 0 days old and already has 142 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #173.
- About 129 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
