[tor-talk] embedding tor into apps?

[Nathan Freitas]

I think the model we use for Orbot (always running background service) doesn't port well to the iOS model for multitasking/threading. I think that for the iOS world, creating a TorBrowser app with everything in it makes the most sense. There already numerous examples of third party browsers that have made it through the app store process.

How so? Do the ToS forbid you from creating proxy apps?

tor-dev would probably be better at answering this, but it seems like a somewhat-sane solution to simply fork & call
tor_main(int argc, char *argv[]) from or/main.c, which is basically what
tor is doing (from what I can see) in or/tor_main.c.

Cheers,

Manuel
