: ''Cycada'' (2014), formally known as Cider is an unreleased research project made by a few folks at Columbia that ran iOS 5.1.1 and experimentally iOS 6 apps at a high, but not perfect quality and compatibility (see paper for list). It is based on pirated iOS libraries. It is seriously not recommended to initiate contact with the developers of the project, as they never planned on releasing it and [[https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/997879688124960799/1089212942710472734/IMG_5233.png want] people to use their paper to reproduce it with "significant effort". All attempts to release it by contacting them have resulted in them saying they are [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/997879688124960799/1089213603506311268/IMG_5234.png not interested]. You may try to recreate Cycada on your own, provided that you know the internals of Android, iOS, XNU, and Linux. Out of 69 tested apps, 19 apps fully work, 10 work with minor bugs that do not affect functionality, 15 have major errors that affect functionality, and 27 crash.
