They do, technically, allow JIT. You need a very hard-to-obtain entitlement that lets you turn writable pages into executable read-only pages, and good luck getting that entitlement if (for some reason) your name isn’t “mobilesafari”, but the capability exists.


When you say it's "hard" to obtain--is it possible to obtain if you aren't Apple? Does Apple ever provide it to third party developers, or is there even a path to requesting it?


Yes.


Source? Is there any non-Apple app that has this entitlement?


If your app happens to be a browser that's only usable in the EU then:

I believe the Delta emulator has JIT support, but possibly only when installed as a developer.


As far as I can tell, you need to connect your phone to a PC running software which enables JIT by exploiting a feature intended for remote debugging. https://faq.altstore.io/altstore-classic/enabling-jit
