iphone (iOS) emulator

hi guys:

I heard that there's something called iphone ios emulator for windows, such that you can use iphone apps on your pc. So I was wondering if there's something similar for bunsenlabs users.

Really appreciated if anyone can help me out ^_^

Probably not. Probably you've been hearing about Apple's xcode IDE which has a Windows version, and comes with an emulation layer to preview apps. You probably 'can', but only if you run a VM with Windows or macOS in which you then can run Xcode.

iphone ios emulator - mind blown
dang that never occurred to me such a thing even existed, even in windows, actually especially in windows

Re: iphone (iOS) emulator

Until recently I don't think it existed for Windows either, so far as I'm aware Xcode is the only one, & that certainly used to be strictly Apple only, which generally meant buying a Mac or quietly ignoring the OSX License & running a hackintosh, real or virtual.  I certainly don't know of any native Linux way to emulate ios.

To date from what I found when I had a quick look I have to agree with @nobody "a VM with Windows or macOS in which you then can run Xcode" was the only answer I saw suggested anywhere, actually I saw no mention of Windows, but I didn't look that hard.

Re: iphone (iOS) emulator

The @OP has already had the suggestion of using iOS in a VM, in a previous thread.

And MacOS isn't iOS (not quite), othewise you'd not need Xcode you could run stuff directly in a VM, rather than running an emulator on top of the VM's guest OS... If you're going to get picky about what has or hasn't been said elsewhere I'll get pedantic.

So far as I'm aware there isn't a VM that will run iOS directly, which would invalidate the suggestion you refer to.
