Some exciting stability improvements this time around:
- darwin: Make spawn() aware of the prewarm feature used on iOS >= 15. What
happens is that the most frequently used apps are being spawned ahead of time
by dasd and kept suspended until the user attempts to launch them, in order
to save some startup time. This was in the way of Frida’s spawn mechanism
because:
- apps launched this way won’t be going through launchd when expected, causing a “timeout was reached” error, or more complex race conditions
- Frida needs to spawn a fresh process to ensure early instrumentation
We solve these problems by:
- ignoring prewarm spawns from the launchd agent (though they’re still emitted as spawn if spawn gating is enabled)
- killing existing prewarmed apps before attempting to spawn them Thanks @mrmacete!
- glib: Ensure {Input,Output}Stream only g_poll() if pollable. This is essential on Apple OSes and BSDs, where GLib uses kqueue to implement GMainContext, as it may otherwise end up waiting forever when the file-descriptor represents an ordinary file. Thanks @hsorbo!
- android: Fix x86 devkits by improving libffi to avoid problematic relocations.
- gadget: Fix deadlock during Windows process termination. Kudos to @Palacee-hun for reporting!
