Does code app run on a VM

[UntrustedTech]

Are you asking if the code app runs on a virtual machine? What made you think of this conclusion? Just curious... And if so the answer is no its not running on a vm.

I was mainly just curious. But, I mentioned it in a programming community and everyone was saying "The only way to run code on mobile is with a VM" I was quite sure it didn't run on a VM, but I just asked here real quick to be sure.

I mean in a way they aren't wrong that when it comes to coding mobile apps at least in the android side there is a lot of insulation involved and same thing with iOS, I'm still trying to understand how this app functions but for the most part at least when compiling and running things it does involve some local em, but for the rest, its all just the app.

Don't quote me i may be wrong

No. iOS apps are sandboxed but do not run in a VM. We use interpreters / web assembly to run binaries to workaround the code signing requirement.

Ohhhhhh ok I see now, im still learning about swift and how it's worked around its limitations.

Thanks for confirming.
