Frequently Asked Questions

Section titled “Frequently Asked Questions”

Do the iServices like iCloud, App Store, etc work?

Section titled “Do the iServices like iCloud, App Store, etc work?”

No, at least not yet. They possibly require something iOS refers to as the “Legacy FairPlay Key Descrambler” AES (hardware) command.

Do biometrics and passcode work?

Section titled “Do biometrics and passcode work?”

No. Feel free to implement PKA for the latter.

Does NFC/Apple Pay work?

Section titled “Does NFC/Apple Pay work?”

Stop asking stupid questions, silly. Maybe in the future. Imagine being at [big coffee chain] and being asked “Cash or card”. You say card, pulling out your Android device running iOS and paying with Apple Pay.
