Emulate/Simulate iOS in Linux

Emulate/Simulate iOS in Linux

The only solution I can think of is to install VMWare or any other VT then install OSX on a VM.

It works pretty good for testing.

How to simulate IPhone apps just like we emulate Android apps For GNU/Linux

I think you mean emulate. What is your purpose?

If you want to develop and test an app you are better of running mac os through a VM and install Xcode.

If you just want to test the app I would advise to download iOS Simulator or Smartface on windows. It's not the best option for debugging...

not a good one but the browser does it all.No need of simulators;-)

Flutter: iOS Emulator for Windows / Linux to run Flutter Applications?

At the moment, in my opinion, there are no simply and professional ways to use iOS/iPadOS simulators on Windows (there are some online services but you need to pay them).

You can use packages like device_preview in order to test the correct aspect ratio and size but you cannot use the native APIs.

The best way to emulate iOS is to use iOS simulator on a Mac but sometimes you will need also a real iOS device because, different from Android simulators, iOS simulators does not replicate perfectly the real iOS features.

Is there a iPhone emulator for windows ( or linux ) to install iPhone apps?

No iPhone emulator exists, not even for OS X! What you get with the iOS SDK is a simulator only.

Interestingly, I did get several search results for iPhone emulators, but digging deeper they were all:

• spam
• RAD engines such as http://www.genuitec.com/mobile/
• Windows builds of WebKit with an "iPhone" frame around the viewport http://labs.blackbaud.com/NetCommunity/article?artid=662
• A company claiming they would sell a WINE build for iPhones

iOS could be emulated only through Xcode on Mac OS.
Even though, you always can emulate Mac OS ;)

How can I launch the iOS Simulator from Terminal?

First decide what device you want to use:

xcrun simctl list

This will give you a list of devices:

-- iOS 9.0 --
    iPhone 4s (56632E02-650E-4C24-AAF4-5557FB1B8EB2) (Shutdown)
    iPhone 5 (ACD4DB7B-9FC9-49D5-B06B-BA5D5E2F5165) (Shutdown)
    iPhone 5s (A8358B76-AD67-4571-9EB7-FFF4D0AC029E) (Shutdown)
    iPhone 6 (1D46E980-C127-4814-A1E2-5BE47F6A15ED) (Shutdown)
    iPhone 6 Plus (FD9F726E-453A-4A4C-9460-A6C332AB140B) (Shutdown)

Choose the ID (eg. FD9F726E-453A-4A4C-9460-A6C332AB140B) you want (you can create your own device using xcrun simctl create if you want).

Boot the simulator with that device (replacing YOUR-DEVICE-ID with the ID)

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/Simulator.app/Contents/MacOS/Simulator -CurrentDeviceUDID <YOUR-DEVICE-ID>

Now you should be able to use simctl to install and launch commands.

xcrun simctl install <YOUR-DEVICE-ID> <PATH-TO-APPLICATION-BUNDLE>
xcrun simctl launch <YOUR-DEVICE-ID> <BUNDLE-ID-OF-APP-BUNDLE>

xcrun simctl help for more details. Note that booting a device using simctl does not currently (Xcode 7.2) allow you to do anything else with that device such as launch or install applications. You need to launch the device in the simulator to actually do anything interesting. Also, you cannot delete a device that is in use by the simulator, so you will have to quit/kill the simulator before attempting to delete anything.

Iphone emulator

Just download Xcode, it has a very good Emulator/Simulator.
And it will support all known screen sizes.

You can also try this (it's web based)

And other possibility is this, but i never did try it.
