The latest @atpfm included a discussion about Shortcuts for iOS and why many would love a native, sandboxed terminal environment for iOS. Imagine launching Terminal on iOS, and being able to use Homebrew (or equivalent) to install packages?

This is literally Apple’s worst nightmare and so, unfortunately, this will never happen officially.

I don't know about that. Keep in mind, sandboxing can make this very safe in many ways. Some terminal apps, like Blink for iOS, already *have* something similar, so its possible.

Apple would need to decide it wants iOS to be a development platform. Scrolling through the iPad marketing images should give you an idea about what they think right now. It’s all media. No development. Sure you can *learn* development, but they’re not making *doing* it easy.

I’d love to see the iPad really become more computer-like but until Xcode hits iOS I won’t hold my breath for any real dev environments.

@cleverdevil I would not want the integrity of my phone to be compromised by something from Homebrew, tbh.
