An experimental project called HackiOS, led by the independent developer group OOSEX GANG, runs iOS on Android smartphones. It boots Apple's open-source XNU kernel for iOS 16.5, then runs the unmodified iOS 16.5 user space on top, using a custom EFI loader, custom drivers that replace Apple's closed drivers, a UEFI port and Linux Wi-Fi drivers on a compatibility layer. The source is on GitHub under the Apple Public Source License 2.0, and a Telegram community has more than 17,000 participants.
