Lately I’m developing applications in Windows 8 using the Phonegap Framework. However, I wonder, how can I emulate the iOS app on my Windows operating system?

There is the possibility to do this without using Hackintosh?

Unfortunately it is not possible to run iOS application in windows with Cordova.

However, there is an interesting alternative, which is also Cordova-Based, which is the Steroids, of Appgyver. That allows the build and execution of multiple applications via streaming.

Steroids has a very rich CLI that allows scaffolding, testing, etc. Best of all is the command Steroids connect, that starts a local webserver, with a QR code that can be read by the device through the Appgyver Scanner, which in turn transfers the application and you can see the final result at hand.

I don’t know if you already found a solution for what you were asking, but today I was able to emulate in real time a Jquery Mobile creation, created on Windows, directly on my iPhone. The solution was to use the Phonegap app. I found this tip at the following address:

I found amazing update speed on iPhone, virtually instant!

  • I think that’s not quite what he wants, he wants an iOS emulator for Windows.
