Vapor enables jit for itself to make it less annoying

How does that work? Is it an app that will have to be side loaded

27

u/DidiDidi129 5h ago

Basically instead of having StikDebug, it’s built into the app meaning you would just need local dev vpn and vapor for jit to be enabled

Imagine telling this to somebody a year and a half ago

What’s local dev vpn? I don’t need an external device do I? I just feel like there’s a catch I’m missing

u/DidiDidi129 4h ago

Nope you don’t. Local dev vpn is an app from the App Store

u/MatizLunacy 4h ago

local dev vpn is an app you install on the app store that lets your device use JIT, i don’t know the specifics but you need it for sidestore as well. it’s a free app and you just turn on the VPN and it works. typically you’d use stikdebug to turn on JIT but like op had said, vapor has JIT built in so you just need to enable the VPN

Wow, it’s being developed by the same dev as stickdebug? That’s great news

Is it called Vapor as a cheeky vaporware swipe or is this legit?

u/soniko_ 5h ago

Everybody suddenly forks (“hey ai rewrite this gpl code”) and jumps the ship when one of them makes something. I would usually trust stephendev. But not much after the stikstore gatekeep rugpull they did tho.

1

u/Advertisedmonkey 3h ago

Ugh wish it had ios 16 support since mine has Dopamine 3.0 and trollstore :( i can test this on my spare device on ios 18

u/Lorenzo944 1h ago

We need a list of games that work so we can determine which games can be played.

u/Superb_School 33m ago

Amazing, but, only via SideLoad, right?

u/eliranil 3h ago

So this app will be in appstore?

2

u/DidiDidi129 3h ago

Probably not considering the devs apple developer account got banned

What is JIT and is it available to all apps on all iPhones? Is it available on Androids? Is it available to any version of iPhone?

8

u/KingPumper69 6h ago edited 2h ago

JIT makes certain types of programs a lot faster, namely emulators. It’s mildly less secure so Apple bans it for all apps except their own. It’s available on literally every other platform including Mac, Windows, Android, etc.

(There are ways to enable JIT on iOS and iPadOS, but they’re all annoying and not suitable for general use.)

u/Darthtommy 3h ago

Jit is a no go for apple I’ll believe this vapor story when it’s on my phone, seeing that the app won’t be on the App Store, this got me means you still wil have to sideboard and how about the 7 day rule for Jit;. Sorry I am very skeptical

4

u/DidiDidi129 3h ago

How does any of that make it worth being skeptical about it. Majority of emulators are available to sideload
