Ok so, I’m just throwing this questions out there to check if there is an answer for this.
Background: I’m currently using Expo to develop Android applications. Because I don’t have a mac or an iPhone. All I have is a Windows laptop and an Android Phone.
Is it possible to hook up an iOS emulator on windows that will run with Expo?
Just curious if there’s anything out there.
Thanks Expo for all the great work so far!
At the moment the only reliable way to test iOS is either through a physical iPhone or a simulator running on macOS, unfortunately. You could potentially run a simulator on https://appetize.io/, but that would probably be a bit rough for things like gestures or animations.
Yes, it’s possible to use iOS platform applications on Windows and Android. You can easily find Emulator for your windows device, these emulators works parallel to iOS, and gives you the same user interface ( UI ) experience. You can find both paid and free emulators.
If your are looking free then I will suggest you to use Smartface, Xmarine Testflight. There are many other free option available that you can Check here. There you will find all the information from downloading to it’s use.
These emulators are not just available for Windows. Maybe, if you are a Andorid user you can experience iOS in you device. If you are interested you can Check this .
Thanks
@samar482 these links seem to be focused on other cross-platform development tools (analogous to Expo), but I don’t see any that allow you to run your device in an actual iOS environment.
