iPhone app dev policy prohibits use of
* explicit third-party language engines
* dynamic libraries
So such J runtime must be statically linked into the main app executable.
That way it would be like an intrinsic library, not an engine per se. E.g.

There may be a possibility to pose (encrypted) J scripts as resource file(s),
similar to images, if sort-of ".DAT" files are allowed.
