The phrase refers to the enabling of Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation within a forthcoming iteration of Apple’s mobile operating system. This process involves translating intermediate code into machine code during runtime, specifically when an application is being executed. An implementation of this technology would mark a shift in how code is processed on Apple’s mobile devices.
Enabling this capability could result in several potential benefits, including enhanced application performance, faster execution speeds, and improved responsiveness. Historically, such capabilities have been restricted or highly controlled within the iOS environment. Allowing wider access may facilitate the development of more complex and resource-intensive applications on the platform. This has implications for various applications, from games to professional software.
