I need an iOS emulator/simulator for PC

[ftime007]

I’ve been looking for an iPhone/iPad emulator or simulator for PC, free or paid.

I wish it would work on an Android emulator like Bluestacks, but only iOS, as my operation only works for Apple Pay and not Google Pay, unfortunately.

I’ve tried Ipadian(.net) and the HTML5.Assist but they don’t allow for any interactivity with the Wallet or Apple Pay apps, and this is what I need.

Any suggestions or insight is greatly appreciated.

Sorry but thing you are looking for doesnt exist.

Buy cheap second-hand iphones instead.

It sounds so scary. Like "black holes" or something. I was frightened when I first heard about this thing not existing. It did sound like "your child doesn't really exist" and I knew it was 100% true but it was too hard to swallow to accept on my own. Someone had to communicate it to me.

Yeah.. the support team at Apple told me this as well. However, Macs come with Touch ID, so it can be used in place as an emulator of some kind. thanks tho.

Yes, I've heard of ways that mac silicon machines(m1/m2/m3) could run ios apps which could be viewed as some sort of emulation but it's limiting by what I know and probably wouldn't work with your use case but I'm not fully sure about it.

What use case wouldn’t it work for?

Apple pay(I'm guessing), Apps that require Camera access, sensors, etc

But Apple Pay is fully functional on Macs, and they have camera access, so it would work, I’ve just found out today.. though I understand your perspective of what you had in mind from what I initially described. Either way, I appreciate your insight Sparks.

There is no iOS emulator unfortunately needed one several year ago, flipped the internet up and down but nothing only android have emulators, I had to purchase an Iphone had no other choice.

Still plenty of stuff can be done on MacOS which doesn't require phone farms for massive operations. So I'd consider a desktop based venture alternatively. Not windows one as windows desktop is easy to fingerprint.

SInce you are not going to buy apple hardware, I guess this is the closest to what you can get..

WARNING: Untested method. I am not responsible if you brick your hardware.

Good part is that you can install the latest MacOS if you follow this tut, and also use more than one cpu cores for the VM. So if you have a a beefy hardware, it might do the trick.

You will need the official ios emulator after you have a Mac VM. ios Emulator worked totally fine for me when I needed it (I did not have an iphone back then).


p.s. buy a second hand mac mini. It will still be a better deal and will save you from the hassle.
