The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Run full iOS 16.5 firmware on Android Devices · score 7.8

  HackiOS boots Apple's open-source XNU kernel (iOS 16.5) on Android phone hardware and runs unmodified iOS 16.5 user space, including SpringBoard and apps, using custom EFI loader, driver replacements, and a UEFI port. It supports POCO X5 Pro 5G and QEMU, with working touchscreen, GPU acceleration, Wi-Fi, sound, and camera, making it a remarkable research platform for iOS internals on non-Apple hardware.

• Show HN: E2E – Open-source agentic testing framework for web, iOS and Android · score 7.5

  e2e is an open-source agentic testing framework that lets developers describe test goals in natural language, which an AI agent then executes against web, iOS, and Android apps. It combines AI-driven actions with traditional locators and assertions, and records agent actions for deterministic replay on subsequent runs. This hybrid approach makes end-to-end testing more accessible and resilient to UI changes.

• Show HN: mobile-agent – Let AI agents control Android and iOS devices · score 7.3

  mobile-agent is a Rust-based daemon and CLI/MCP tool that lets AI agents control Android and iOS devices by maintaining a live mirror of screen state, using platform-specific low-level interfaces (adb, dtuhidd, IOSurface) instead of instrumentation or XCTest for most operations. It distinguishes itself by optimizing the tap-and-observe latency loop and reusing agent-browser's command grammar, making it a sophisticated piece of developer tooling for mobile automation.

• Show HN: SongFlip – Zero-click music link redirector for Android and iOS · score 6.5

  SongFlip is a zero-click music link redirector for Android and iOS that intercepts shared music URLs and opens them in the user's preferred streaming service. It supports 10+ platforms, includes advanced features like offline music recognition and playlist conversion, and is built with Kotlin Multiplatform and SwiftUI.
