The switch to libSystem triggered additional App Store checks for private API usage. Since it is considered private, syscall.Getdirentries now always fails with ENOSYS on iOS. Hooray! I'm surprised it took as long as it did, since IIRC this was something that broke constantly…

I’ve only heard of one or two breakages...

Well, in internet parlance its broken every single time. On the other hand if I like something then broken thing will always work flawlessly for me
