Home/App Switcher (including "Welcome to iPhone", "Swipe up to get started" screen) gesture does not work.

For the "Welcome to iPhone" screen, just restart the emulator after like 30 seconds to a minute (to allow the disk changes to flush).

The emulator may get stuck near "skipping unencrypted volume" or "SEP accepted IMG4".

Just restart the emulator until it works for now.

Kernel panic "cannot find IOAESAccelerator".

User error; likely one of two cases:

• Disk corrupted or similar. sync command after creating/editing the disks may help.
• Attempting to boot restore without the restore ramdisk. Specify it with -initrd as mentioned in the guide.

Can't mount disk or (re)mount it as read-write.

User error; outdated macOS version or other APFS driver.

"at24c-eeprom: Backing file size 65536 != 2048"

The sep_nvram file size got consolidated.

To correct it, run the following command:

• Linux/macOS/*nix/Unix-like/BSD: truncate -c -s 64K [path to disk images]/sep_nvram
• Windows: fsutil file seteof [path to disk images]\sep_nvram 65536

We're not sure what's causing this. Some users have reported that starting from scratch (doing the entire wiki process again) helps. Others have reported that increasing RAM for the companion helps.

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?

No. Feel free to implement PKA for the latter.

Does NFC/Apple Pay work?

Stop asking stupid questions.

But 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.
