Therefore, you can debug your apps with full debugging features such as breakpoints, watches and real-time code changes. Moreover, it’s not just an emulator, it also functions as an Android and iOS debugger on Windows.

Now, we proudly introduce a brand new perspective about it. The main idea stems from the approach “if iTunes does it, why can’t we?” and we got to work on the solution.

Smartface WYSIWYG design editor on Windows and same output running on Android and iOS emulators.Īndroid emulation is already known but you might wonder how emulation works on iOS. This is a big handicap for Cross-Platform development. Other frameworks either don’t support iOS development on Windows at all or they can’t publish or emulate apps on an iOS device without a Mac. It might look OK at first glance, but what about iOS development on a Cross-Platform solution?ĭue to Apple’s restrictions and the limitation of some Cross-Platform technologies, there are no solutions other than Smartface that support iOS development on a Windows or Linux machine. Thus, most of the developers choose real devices for testing. For instance, Xcode uses an iOS simulator for performance, but as the name indicates, it’s just a simulator, not a real device emulator like Smartface iOS emulator. Moreover, network operations may present different cases on real devices. Hence, the real product may appear different on real devices than it appears on virtual emulators in many cases. It’s a well-known fact that virtual device emulators and simulators are very slow on many platforms (like Android). Main part of the development process requires adaptation of the application to different screen sizes and resolutions on different devices, just like the different screen sizes of iPhone 4/4S (3.5″), iPhone 5/5S (4″), iPhone 6S/7/8/SE (4.7″) and iPhone 7/8 Plus (5.5″).
