Claim is that a full Laravel and Livewire app runs natively on iPhone by compiling PHP statically into a library and shipping a PHP extension that Swift overrides for native APIs. Demo shows vibration and camera working, App Store approval in three days, demo binary ~153 megabytes. Built with Laravel, Livewire and native PHP, used Xcode and Swift to override C weak functions, hosted backend on Lar Cloud, prototype works but iOS only and not yet open source.
