Provides JavaScript polyfills (and fixes) for Mobile Safari and WebKit-based views on iOS.
This tweak injects JavaScript polyfills to enhance web compatibility for older iOS versions. It targets Mobile Safari, Safari View Services, and general WebKit views.
The JavaScript polyfills can be found in /scripts, /scripts-priority and /scripts-post folders.
The scripts under /scripts are injected at the document start. The scripts under /scripts-post are injected after the document has loaded. The scripts under /scripts-priority are injected at document start, but with a higher priority than those in /scripts. This is useful for polyfills that need to be applied before any other scripts run.
The scripts may be put under a folder named after the specific iOS version, such as 15.0. The scripts inside that folder will only be injected when the device iOS version is no more than the version specified in the folder name. That is, they will run under iOS 14.8 and earlier.
- iOS 8.0 or later
- Build the project using Theos.
- Install the resulting
.debpackage on your jailbroken iOS device.
npm install
./build-scripts.sh # Build and optimize JavaScript polyfills
makeThe build script transpiles and minifies all JavaScript files for optimal package size and runtime performance.
TL;DR: Depends.
If the website uses modern JavaScript features or APIs that are not supported by the iOS version you are using, this tweak will help polyfill those features. However, it may not cover every single case, especially if the website relies on very recent web standards or APIs that cannot be remedied with JavaScript alone.
Check out the WKExperimentalFeatures.md file for recommended WebKit experimental features to enable to enhance web compatibility further.
