Any questions or suggestions(mostly my english) are always welcome.IOS emulators are programs that replicate the hardware of iOS devices so you can run iPhone or iPad apps/games on other operating systems such as Windows, Mac, and Linux.Īlthough there a variety of emulators that use different emulation methods, their end goal is always the same: to efficiently replicate the experience of original hardware or software. Thank you very much for reading this tutorial, by the way it's the first one I've published in years. Once that's done, we can update from either side which will also reflect on both. Now, we can open the connection: (My SSH is opened in a different port, but the default is 22) When we type the command, an error will occur. On Mac, we'll create a folder to open connection.Ĭommand to open a new connection with linux Search for PasswordAuthentication and put yes and remove # at beginning line. Same process previously, but the sshfs package on mac can be installed using the command below:īrew install -cask macfuse & brew install gromgit/fuse/sshfs-mac

If you have another computer, you can do this connection and let your computer with emulator just emulating. I use Manajaro, so I just opened the terminal and type:Įnable docker services to boot with systemĪlright, now we'll download the docker osx and run using the command below:ĭocker run -it -device /dev/kvm -p 50922:10022 -e DEVICE_MODEL='iMacPro1,1' -e WIDTH=1440 -e HEIGHT=900 -e RAM=8 -e INTERNAL_SSH_PORT=23 -e AUDIO_DRIVER=alsa -e CORES=2 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e 'DISPLAY=$' ID_CONTAINERĬommand to open a new connection with mac:Īlright, now we can open the VSCode on linux and update the files updating directly on mac. SSD: Crucial BX500 240gb ( Highly recommended SSD)įirst, is necessary have docker installed on your computer.(I was even able to heat my room with that much stuff) My computer's specs are considered OK to do this, however, I still managed to notice some lags while using Docker OSX + xCode + Visual Studio Code + Dev Server. The Docker OSX is a docker image that uses QEMU so that we can emulate an operating system.

Creating a connection of folders over SSH.

The repository on github of Docker OSX has an explanation of how to use an iPhone via usb instead of emulating, but I don't have iPhone. We'll use QEMU to emulate a mac and inside it we'll use xCode to emulate an iOS. After several unsuccessful attempts, I was finally able to virtualize a macOS to run tests on an iOS app I was working on.īut before proceeding, it is necessary to know that this is not a stable solution and has several performance issues, however, for my purpose I managed to do what I wanted.
