Apple's crippled (compared to OS X) operating system is called iOS. In July 2013 I've spend many hours with debugger trying to find out why I can intercept loading of pictures in WebUI on OS X, but can't in iOS. At the end I concluded that it is impossible: seems like iOS is just crippled too much!

JavaFX for iOS

All of this is possible because of alternative Java VM called RoboVM. Enjoy Java on iOS and support emerging VMs like Bck2Brwsr!
