I'm developing a web app that apparently is having problems in iOS devices. The problem is that I don't own an iOS device and I develop in Linux Ubuntu. I'm looking for a way to emulate/simulate this OS in Linux (especially the browser), but haven't found anything.

So far, what I've found is the iOS SDK's Simulator, but that is meant for the Mac. And also some emulator for Windows. Has anyone done this before?

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.

On linux you can check epiphany-browser, resizes the windows you'll get same bugs as in ios. Both browsers uses Webkit.

Ubuntu/Mint:

sudo apt install epiphany-browser

BrowserStack.com
On this site, you can emulate a lot of iOS's devices online.

1. Run Ripple emulator(retired as of 2015-12-06) on Chrome
2. Run iPadian on WineHQ
3. Run QMole on Linux or Android
4. Run XCode on PureDarwin

Maybe, this approach is better, https://saucelabs.com/mobile, mobile testing in the cloud with selenium

You might want to try screenfly. It worked great for me.

As far as I know, there is no such a thing as iOS emulator on windows or linux, there are only some gameengines that enable you to compile same code for both iOS and windows or linux and there is a toolchain to compile iOS application using linux. none of them are realy emulator/simulator things. and to use that toolchain you need a jailbreaked iOS device to test binary file created using toolchain. I mean linux itself can't run the binary created itself. and by the way even in mac simulator is just an intermediate program which runs mac-compiled binary, since if you change compiling for iOS from simulator or the other way, all the files are rebuild. and also there are some real differences, like iOS is a case-sensitive operation while simulator is not.

so the best solution is to buy an iOS device yourself.
