It is actually missing. On purpose. You are at liberty to deliberately open your backdoor to all-comers, but I cannot release an app on App Store which transparently opens your backdoor to all-comers. As you're no doubt aware, iOS is a heavily guarded platform. There are J scripted utilities like websockets, pacman and by extension httpget I cannot bundle with the app without violating Apple guidelines. It's like me selling you a bong for smoking weed, but you have to locate your own weed. HINT: try this in jqt904: open '~system/util/pacman.ijs' Wouldn't that be a good script to copy to your iCloud Drive. Files app on your iPad might just be able to see it. […Untested] It should work for dylibs too, which are contraband to App Store. On Mon, 10 Oct 2022 at 09:34, Ed Gottsman <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello.
