Has anyone had success with iOS 11?

Has anyone had success installing on iOS 11? It appears that CydiaImpactor no longer works.

I found a work around using Xcode using this VIDEO

I renamed retroarch to app.ipa (see the video for why) and I received an error that my phone could not be written to. Not the end of the world. Just disappointing.

The problem is that RetroArch right now is not built for 64-bit, and iOS 11 only runs 64-bit apps.

What makes it hard for RetroArch isn’t really the app itself, but all the emulator cores that need to be rebuilt in 64-bit. Some like the Playstation and N64, depend on the 32-bit ARM architecture and without some serious deep knowledge of the core, it’s hard to fix.

I’m working on getting it to run on iOS 11 right now, but it still needs more work. Here’s the progress thread:

iOS 11 Support (updated with zipfile containing cores)

It's that time of year again - as you may have heard, 32-bit apps will no longer work on iOS 11. This is a problem because while RetroArch can be compiled in 64-bit, the cores will also need to be compiled in 64-bit - and last I checked a lot of the cores don't compile in 64-bit for iOS. I'm going to start looking at this again, as I do want to continue supporting RetroArch in iOS, but if anyone knows the status of the cores, or knows the status of supporting 64-bit iOS, then please let me…
