Лучшие эмуляторы iOS для Windows. Актуальные эмуляторы iOS

Эмулятор – это программа, позволяющая запускать на компьютере игры и приложения, предназначенные для мобильных платформ. Производительность ПК или ноутбука обычно выше, чем на мобильном гаджете. Но в большинстве случаев это зависит от самого эмулятора.

Среди эмуляторов iOS для ПК есть настоящие шедевры, которые отличаются повышенной производительностью, богатым функционалом и превосходной работой на всех типах ОС. Но есть варианты и попроще. Стоит рассмотреть лучшие из них.

№1. iPadian 2

Пожалуй, лучший эмулятор iOS под Windows. С его помощью можно запустить практически любое приложение для iOS. То же самое относится к играм. Кстати, это один из немногих эмуляторов, которые ориентированы на обычных юзеров. Чаще всего такие приложения выпускаются для разработчиков и тестировщиков.

Программа iPadian здорово напоминает легендарный эмулятор Android под названием Bluestacks. Но у iPadian есть еще и платная версия. Никакого нового функционала в оплаченной версии нет. Просто убрана реклама. А также есть некоторое количество подсказок по работе со встроенным магазином (AppStore).

Преимущества:

поддержка последних версий iOS (11)
возможность установки приложений из AppStore
опция обновления прошивки
полное копирование интерфейса iOS
простые настройки программы
отличная работа на ПК с Windows на борту
поддержка Apple ID

Как пользоваться

Для начала нужно скачать программу и установить ее. Только потом можно будет приступать к работе, запустив эмулятор при помощи соответствующего ярлыка на рабочем столе компьютера или ноутбука.

1. В главном окне «iOS» выбираем пункт «AppStore» и щелкаем по нему.

2. Теперь нужно выбрать приложение для установки (к примеру, игра Fortnite) и кликнуть по соответствующе иконке.

3. В следующем окошке необходимо нажать на небольшую и незаметную кнопку «Get».

Начнется процесс скачивания и установки приложения. Когда все закончится, игра будет доступна на главном экране эмулятора. Для запуска достаточно будет нажать на иконку с надписью «Fortnite».

№2. Air iPhone Emulator

№2. AIR IPHONE EMULATOR

Миниатюрная программа, обладающая оригинальным интерфейсом и обеспечивающая работу некоторых приложений iOS на компьютере. Утилита не обладает богатым функционалом, но для выполнения основных действий сгодится.

Более всего в Air iPhone Emulator поражает интерфейс. Окно программы выполнено в виде iPhone 3S или iPad. И внутри него находится iOS 9, которая сымитирована довольно-таки неплохо. Есть даже поддержка системных жестов.

Преимущества:

приложение полностью бесплатно
есть поддержка жестов
полное копирование интерфейса iOS 9
нет рекламы в приложении
занимает мало места на HDD

Недостатки:

далеко не все приложения и игры из AppStore рабочие
нет русского языка
ограниченный функционал
почти полное отсутствие настроек

Скачать приложение можно с официального сайта разработчика. Это совершенно бесплатно. Установка довольно проста. Она не вызовет вопросов даже у новичков. Далее требуется запустить эмулятор при помощи соответствующего ярлыка. А дальше – все так же, как и в других эмуляторах.

№3. Xamarin Testflight

А вот это не просто эмулятор. Это специализированное программное обеспечение для разработчиков.Оно позволяет проверить, насколько хорошо работает только что созданное приложение.

У Xamarin огромное количество настроек (часто непонятных обычному пользователю). Сами же приложения запускаются в рамке, которая имитирует iPhone. Управление осуществляется при помощи «экрана смартфона».

Преимущества:

огромное количество настроек
адекватная работа с Windows
возможность запустить практически любое приложение
идеальная имитация iOS
можно управлять жестами
нет рекламы
программа совершенно бесплатна

Недостатки:

утилита предназначена для разработчиков (со всеми вытекающими)
нет русского языка
нет поддержки AppStore
плохо работает на слабых машинах

Скачать Xamarin Testflight можно даже на официальном сайте Microsoft. Однако загвоздка заключается в том, что сам эмулятор скачать невозможно. Он входит в комплект пакета для разработки Visual Studio вместе со всеми библиотеками. Поэтому размер закачки существенный.

№4. MobiOne Studio

№4. MOBIONE STUDIO EMULATOR FOR PC

Еще одна студия для создания приложений и игр под iOS. В числе прочих инструментов в пакете имеется весьма неплохой эмулятор с полной имитацией «яблочной» операционной системы. Однако для постоянных игр этот продукт не подойдет.

По функционалу он чем-то схож с Xamarin, однако не обладает таким богатым инструментарием. Это, скорее, продукт для развлечений, а не для серьезной работы. И именно поэтому он может понравиться многим пользователям.

Преимущества:

полная имитация iOS
интуитивно понятный интерфейс
возможность установки сторонних приложений
работа с системными жестами
возможность обновления прошивки
отсутствие рекламы
мощный движок эмулятора
быстрая работа на старых машинах

Недостатки:

отсутствие русского языка
«заточенность» под разработку
отсутствие AppStore

Скачать этот продукт еще пока можно на некоторых сайтах или торрент-трекерах, но на официальном сайте разработчика его найти уже не получится. Дело в том, что официально разработка программы прекратилась. Теперь придется довольствоваться только старыми версиями.

№5. Ripple

Как сказано на сайте разработчика, Ripple – лучший эмулятор iOS для ПК. Но только iOS. Этот продукт массово используется тестировщиками для проверки работоспособности приложений. Поэтому он обладает кучей непонятных инструментов. Точно так же, как и Xamarin.

Главная особенность этого продукта заключается в том, что он умеет эмулировать не только интерфейс iPhone. Ему доступны также оболочки BlackBerry и Cordova. Универсальный продукт для разработчиков.

Преимущества:

приятный интерфейс
быстрая работа
полное копирование iOS
кроссплатформенность (есть версии под Windows и MacOS)
нет рекламы в приложении
полноценная работа со скриптами
полная поддержка жестов
можно установить практически любое приложение
богатый инструментарий для разработчика

Недостатки:

слишком сложный интерфейс
нет русского языка
нет поддержки AppStore
продукт ориентирован на разработчиков

Скачать Ripple можно на официальном сайте разработчика. Однако вместе с утилитой придется загружать огромное количество библиотек, которые обычному пользователю совсем не нужны. Для простой эмуляции игр и приложений лучше выбрать что-нибудь менее «навороченное».

№6. Smartface iOS Emulator

А это брат-близнец Ripple. Все то же программное обеспечение для разработчиков и тестировщиков. Но тем не менее, в составе продукта имеется очень недурной эмулятор iOS, который полностью копирует данную платформу.

Smartface предлагает тот же инструментарий, что Ripple и Xamarin. При помощи этого программного продукта можно создавать настоящие шедевры и запускать их во встроенном эмуляторе. Правда, для его нормальной работы требуется немало ресурсов компьютера.

Преимущества:

много различных инструментов
полная имитация iOS
возможность «обновления прошивки»
нет рекламы в приложении
нормальная работа скриптов
поддержка системных жестов
грамотно организованное рабочее место
кроссплатформенность (имеются версии под MacOS и Windows)
мощный движок эмулятора

Недостатки:

отсутствие русского языка
нет AppStore
слишком сложный интерфейс
требует много ресурсов компьютера

Использовать Smartface можно лишь в том случае, если под рукой есть мощная машина. На офисных и слабых домашних ПК этот продукт работать точно не будет. А скачать его можно на официальном сайте разработчика.

№7. Appetize.io

№7. APPETIZE.IO

По сути, это не эмулятор, а онлайн-сервис, который копирует мобильную платформу iOS и позволяет пользователям почувствовать всю прелесть данной операционной системы. Как ни странно, сервис позволяет даже устанавливать приложения (загруженные пользователем).

Этот онлайн-сервис широко используется разработчиками. Они проверяют в них только что созданные приложения. У такого варианта тестирования есть масса преимуществ по сравнению с мощными пакетами, требующими установки на ПК.

Преимущества:

быстрая работа
не используются ресурсы компьютера
отсутствие рекламы
возможность загрузки своих приложений
точное копирование iOS
поддержка системных жестов
работа со всеми популярными браузерами

Недостатки:

отсутствие возможности установки приложений из AppStore
ограниченный функционал
не работает без интернета

№8. Electric Mobile Studio

№8. ELECTRIC MOBILE STUDIO

Еще один продукт, рассчитанный на профессионалов. Он умеет эмулировать как среду iPhone (со всеми ее особенностями), так и iOS, установленную на iPad. Продукт обладает богатым инструментарием.

Однако приложение платное, что выдает его ориентированность на профессионалов. Зато с эмуляцией программа справляется на ура. Программа отлично справляется со всеми задачами и не требует слишком много ресурсов компьютера.

Преимущества:

богатый функционал
точное копирование iOS
поддержка системных жестов
возможность «обновления прошивки»
нетребовательность к системным ресурсам
быстрая работа
мощный набор инструментов для тестирования
огромное количество настроек
возможность загрузки приложений

Недостатки:

нет возможности установки из AppStore
приложение не бесплатно
нет русского языка
сложность в освоении

Electric Mobile Studio – отличный инструмент для разработчиков и тестировщиков. В этой среде он считается одним из лучших. Но держать столь мощный продукт на ПК только из-за возможностей эмуляции по меньшей мере странно.

Заключение

Из всех вышеописанных эмуляторов для повседневного домашнего использования рекомендуется только один – iPadian 2. Именно он имеет поддержку AppStore и может использоваться для установки игр и приложений.

Остальные же, по большей части, являются профессиональными приложениями для разработчиков. И использовать их стоит только с точки зрения научного интереса. Игры в них точно запускаться не будут.

Do you want to use any iOS app but don’t have an iPhone? Don’t worry, as today I will be sharing how you can iOS apps in your PC/Computer using iPhone Emulators. I was getting many queries regarding best iOS Emulator For Windows using which one can run iOS apps in Windows. So, If you are looking for the same, Keep reading the article as I will list all iOS based Emulators which is available for Windows platform.

What is iOS Emulator?

An iOS emulator is a software that enables one computer system, known as the host to behave like another Operating System, called the guest by enabling the host system to run the software or use devices that are originally developed to be used by that particular OS. Putting things in perspective for this specific discussion, an iOS emulator will enable a windows based computer to emulate or imitate an iOS based device through certain specific programs that have been specially created for this purpose. Through the use of these emulators the app developers can test their programs before coming out with commercial versions of the same as well it allows the users of windows to use these towards using the iOS games or apps or to create iOS apps on their PCs.

iOS Emulator VS iOS Simulator

Although these two words ‘Emulator’ and ‘Simulator’ is understood to be meaning the same, in actuality, these are quite different from each other. To put it simply, emulators actually mimic the software and hardware environments found on the corresponding host devices, whereas the simulators only mimic the software environment. Towards that end, Simulation is generally used for analysis and study whereas Emulation is used for using a particular device as a substitute or to get the exact experience as that of the device that is being emulated. Therefore, it will be quite correct to say that an Emulator is a combination of hardware and software, thereby providing more realistic behaviour whereas the Simulator is only software based. One analogy, to understand the subtle difference between the two could be to imagine that you are trying to tell your friend that it will be fun to jump in an ice cold pool. To simulate it, you pretend to jump into the pool yourself and enjoy the cold water by enacting how it would feel. To emulate the same, you actually jump into the pool.

Advantages Of iOS Emulator

There are various advantages of using iOS emulators and that is a proof of the fact that there are multiple emulators now available with their numbers ever increasing. Some of the distinct advantages of using iOS simulators are the following:

These emulators can be used during the development process for testing the various apps.
The emulators can be easily run on multiple devices.
Emulators obviously facilitate the users to experience an OS that they could not otherwise afford due to its high costs.
Emulators can help the undecided customers to first have a look and feel and the actual experience of using a particular iOS device before deciding whether they would like to buy it or not.

I think you have already got enough idea about emulators & simulators. – What they are and how it will serve your purpose. So, Let’s discuss about best iOS/iPad Emulator for Windows without any delay now.

There are dozens of emulators for iOS available for Windows PC and it’s really very difficult for most of us to find best one for our personal use. But don’t worry as our team had researched about iOS Emulators & simulators in-depth before writing this article, so that you can easily select best iPhone emulator for Windows PC from the below list.

Best iOS Emulator for Windows 7/8/8.1/10:

Although with the rapid development of technology and the interconnectivity of operating systems, there are various programs that have been developed to work as iOS emulators; the following are some of the better-known ones that have been received quite well by its users.

MobiOne Studio

MobiOne is considered among the most versatile and easy to use software that allows the users to emulate various iOS apps with ease as well as developing iOS applications. This program has been downloaded by more than half a million designers and developers since its launch in 2009 and has multiple unique capabilities such as customised user interface templates that use the drag and drop function for both portrait and landscape orientations that can also be modified. Through the App Sync technology, MobiOne also supports large sized apps for review and testing. Through the use of common text messaging, users can also transfer their apps directly to any mobile device.

Update – This iPhone Emulator is officially discontinued now but you can still install it in your computer by downloading EXE file of it from third party sites.

Smartface

Smart face is among the most popular iOS emulators that offer basic functions for Windows OS and allows the users to develop unlimited apps absolutely free of cost. It is extremely easy to use this program too. All that one needs to do is to install the app on the host device through the app store and then connect it to the windows system. It is important that the Windows device should have the iTunes installed so that the two systems can work in sync. Once the iOS is emulated onto the Windows device, the developers can then develop native applications through Smart Face. There is also the function to debug your apps with useful debugging features such as real time code changes and breakpoints etc. As an app developing software the program is quite adept at providing the capability to the users to test the applications in various iOS environments. Although we are discussing only the iOS in this article, it is worthwhile to know that Smart face can also be used with the Android platform with equal efficiency.

Air iPhone Emulator

Air iPhone Emulator is widely regarded to be among the top programs to create extremely realistic emulation effects. This program functions with the support of the Adobe Air framework that recreates the Graphical User Interface or GUI of the selected iOS on the Windows platform computers. This program is of great importance to the developers who can upload their newly developed applications to the Air iPhone emulator before releasing it to see how it looks and feels like. Although there are various features available on this emulator, some core applications such as the Safari Web browser are not available and that constraints its use. Air iPhone emulator was originally designed to allow users to make and receive free calls through Ribbit, a telecommunications service that was used mostly by developers to connect with telephone networks. Ribbit was acquired by BT in 2008 and the communication features are no more functional.

iPhone Simulator

The iPhone simulator works on the flash and is considered among the foremost apps when it comes to the ease of use and the brilliance of the interface. Although this app does not give access to some crucial iPhone apps such as the App Store or the Safari browser, it is still quite handy when it comes to having an access to the other more popular applications such as notepad, clock, calculator etc. Whereas it seems that this simulator is using the iOS, it is basically a flash application and has its natural limitations. Although this program might not be very useful for the app developers for advanced features such as debugging etc., it is still quite handy for those that want to experience the iOS environment before deciding to invest in an iOS device.

iPadian

As the name suggests, iPadian is a software program for Pcs that are running Windows XP or higher to easily launch an alternative desktop that looks like an iPad screen. In the true sense, therefore, iPadian is not really a true emulator, but rather a simulator. iPadian is actually a desktop application that is based on the Adobe Air platform and cannot run without that being first installed on the computer. Since it is not possible to access many of the native iOS apps on the iPadian, it comes with its own app store which is a set of apps that can run on windows and give the user a feeling of using the iOS apps. iPadian also has some major interface challenges since it tries and emulates the iPad which has a touch interface and when it is rendered on PC, it doesn’t quite give the same experience to the users since the touch screen swipe function cannot be perfectly emulated.

Some features of iPadian for PC:

Free version of iPadian can give you basic iOS feel for free.
Access to customised store App Store in free version.
In premium version, you can use any app freely with Apple App Store.
Premium version is totally ad free.
Moreover, it’s cheap also. (Premium version is available for 10$ only).

How to Install iPadian in Your Windows Computer:

First of all, Download iPadian from above link.
Double, Click on installation file which you have downloaded in above step.
Follow, on screen options and Click on Next accordingly.
Once, you have successfully installed iPadian in your PC, you can follow further steps to run iOS apps in your Windows Computer.

How to run iOS Apps in Windows 7/8/8.1 PC by iPadian:

Once, you have successfully installed iPadian in your Windows Computer. You will see iPadian icon on dekstop.

Simply, do a double click on iPadian icon.
Now from their interface, simply click on store.
Download your favourite apps from there and enjoy iOS emulator on PC.

Xamarin Testflight

Xamarin Testflight is one of the best iOS based emulators for windows. In terms of developer support, I have to say that Xamarin Testflight is to give a try once. Though, its paid emulator for Windows, but believe me it’s worth it.

In this post, I will not cover how to setup this emulator as developer of Xamarin Testflight has written detailed tutorial on the same on their official blog.

Appetize.Io

Appetize.Io is one of the best iOS Emulators for Windows. Note that it is cloud based emulator and you can not download it in your PC/Computer. Earlier, there was an iPhone emulator known as App.io but it is not available any more. So, if you are looking for App.io alternative, then Appetize.io is a must-try.

It is available for free for first 100 minutes per month. After that you will be charged $0.05 per minute which is very reasonable too. Note that you will not be able to install any app in the emulator as it’s demo based but you can test .ipa files in it.

To use it, just upload .ipa file in the upload form and enter your email address. You will get a link in your mail inbox. Just click on it to test your .ipa file in the Appetize.io online Emulator.

Final Words

We can easily derive from the above article that whereas it is not possible for many people to afford the iPhones or other Apple devices due to their high cost and availability in certain geographies, it should not inhibit people from being able to access the look and feel and the experience of using a high-end Apple device. Through the use of these emulators, one can easily access a virtual Apple device on their Windows desktops in a matter of minutes and free of cost and can easily use iOS apps on their Windows PC. It is also a great tool for the app developers to develop and test their apps in the real OS environment and fine tune them before launching.

Wrapping Up!

Due to the existing similarities between an emulator and a simulator, most people find it hard to differentiate between the two. Although both sound the same, there is a variation between them. An emulator works to replicate the original device. It is designed to run the applications and software of the original device without modifying them. iOS emulators are normally used by non-iOS users who want to have a taste of the iPhone interface without having to buy the device.

On the other hand, a simulator can set up an environment similar to the one of the original device’s operating system but does not attempt to replicate its hardware. Due to this reason, some applications may not run at all on simulators while others may run differently.

EDIT: Unfortunately, we’ve made a mistake. All of the presented apps are actually iOS SIMULATORS for Windows 10. So, if you’re looking for an iOS EMULATOR, you won’t find it here. In fact, we’re not sure if there’s any on the market at all. If you’ve heard of a ‘real’ emulator for iOS, please let us know in the comments. We apologize for the misunderstanding once again.
