Hi,

There are currently no iOS emulators/simulators for Windows and due to the fact that Apple does not want to distribute their software source with other parties, it’s not very likely that this will be available in the future too.

We are using Apple Mac devices to run the simulator that comes with Xcode. And for things like push notifications and attempting to work offline, we can’t use a simulator so we use actual devices.

Hi

You could try TestFlight for BETA testing of iOS apps on actual iOS devices.

Thank you or the inputs, good to know to be used for UATs. But again users need to have an Apple device to access this I suppose. Just wanted to know a way to access iOS applications from a Windows platform.
