Description

If I am on the same Wi-Fi network as the computer running AltServer, apps that require JIT should be able to ping the computer on a certain port to request enabling JIT. This way I don’t have to use Chrome Remote Desktop to enable it and then quickly switch over to the app I want to use JIT with. Apps would be able integrate this into their functionality such as PojavLauncher or UTM.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how AltServer currently enables JIT and how AltStore communicates with it, then define the request path for devices on the same Wi-Fi network. Done means an app can request JIT from the computer without Chrome Remote Desktop, with the behavior usable by apps such as PojavLauncher or UTM.
