Husk (Android apps and games on iPhone)

An unofficial iPhone app that runs Android apps and games, through a translation layer or a full Android guest under QEMU. You sideload it and add your own APKs. It cannot go on the App Store.

You need your own copy of Android apps and games. This port only runs with files from a copy you own; there is no download or play button here. No copy? These play in your browser right away, no files needed: BO1 Zombies (vel.gg), GTA 3 Online (quenq III Web), The Simpsons: Hit & Run WASM.

What you need

An iPhone on iOS 15.5 or later and a sideloading tool such as SideStore, AltStore or TrollStore. You supply your own APK. Games need JIT, or a certificate setup the project documents.

Short answer

Husk runs Android apps and games on an iPhone, without the App Store. It is by Leviidev, needs iOS 15.5 or later, and you sideload it yourself. Version 3.4 came out on 5 November 2026. You supply your own APKs. We have not tested it ourselves.

The project had about 3,070 stars on 6 November 2026, and its README shows GTA: San Andreas and Minecraft Dungeons running.

How it works

  • Translation layer: the game’s own 64-bit Android code runs on the iPhone, and Husk stands in for Android around it (C library, Java, graphics, audio and input). There is no Android boot.
  • Emulation: a full LineageOS guest under QEMU, for apps the translation layer cannot run yet.

The README also lists a PS4 feature for packages and game folders on iOS 17.4 or later. We do not cover that feature, and we link no packages.

How to install it

  1. Follow the official install guide, or get Husk.ipa from the official releases page.
  2. Sideload it with SideStore, AltStore or TrollStore.
  3. Set up JIT for games, or the project’s Play without JIT option.
  4. Add an APK and tap it.

Husk is open source under GPL-2.0-or-later. Sideloading has limits that depend on your Apple ID and tool, and this is not an Apple-approved app. Only run apps and games you have the right to use. An APK from an unknown site can be malware or a pirated copy, and we link none. We have not audited Husk.

From the same author, Henge runs macOS on iPhone and iPad. For native game ports on Android instead, see Recompa. For Switch games on iPhone, see nxnative.

FAQ

What is Husk?

An unofficial iPhone app by Leviidev that runs Android apps and games. You add an APK, tap it, and it opens full-screen.

How does Husk work?

It has two modes. A translation layer runs a game's own 64-bit Android code on the iPhone, with Husk standing in for Android, so a game starts in seconds. For apps that cannot run that way, it boots a full LineageOS guest under QEMU.

Is Husk on the App Store?

No. It links QEMU under GPLv2, which the project says means it cannot go on the App Store. You sideload it with SideStore, AltStore or TrollStore.

Do I need JIT for Husk?

Games need JIT, or the project's "Play without JIT" setup, which uses the certificate that installed Husk. Its install guide explains both.

Which iPhones does Husk support?

iOS 15.5 or later, according to the README. The project keeps its own compatibility page, and we have not tested any game ourselves.

Does Husk come with games?

No. You add your own APK. Use apps and games you have the right to use, and be careful where an APK comes from.
