why does touchHLE's app support improve when I return relative rather than absolute paths for the document directory and app bundle. why do apps seemingly rely on this. surely Foundation/CoreFoundation don't actually do this? I can't reproduce it on a real device. surely…
I have lost weeks of my life to trying to debug this and crashes related to it.
if I don't do this, the apps use what would be valid absolute paths, but which have a missing leading slash. which surely indicates a bug somewhere. how could this possibly work on the real OS. surely—

iOS. the only operating system where many games accidentally remove the leading slash from absolute paths and still work.
@hikari how did that even pass approval?
@mangofu who would think to check for it?
@hikari apps allocating short fixed buffers that won’t overflow with the full path on real ios but do overflow with the full path of your project folder?
@0xabad1dea you'd think so, but it's definitely not a buffer overflow issue. the paths I'm using are the right size
