Project Sandcastle is a proof-of-concept released by the Corellium iOS device emulator project that successfully boots Android on A10-based devices. The project released a port of Android 10, named Sandcastle AOSP, along with a build of Linux, that can be dual-booted on an iPhone 7 or iPod touch (7th generation) via the checkm8 exploit.[1][2]

The project was unveiled during a time that Corellium found itself in a lawsuit with Apple over claims that the Corellium emulation service violates its copyright over iOS. The name is a reference to breaking out of the sandbox Apple devices force its users into.[1] The project is positioned as a successor to iDroid, given that Corellium co-founders David Wang and Chris Wade were part of the original iDroid team.[3]

It has not seen any activity since 8 March 2020 (2020-03-08), shortly after its initial 6 March 2020 (2020-03-06) release.
