Many emulators demand a lot of memory and processing power. The guest app works fine even though it is running on a different system because emulator is copying the behavior of the native system (iOS platform). It takes the commands from the app and runs it on the host system after necessary processing. An emulator is installed as regular host system software to run iOS apps. What is iOS emulator?įor running iOS apps on Windows, the Windows OS acts as “host” and iOS app act as “guest”. An emulator helps machine ‘A’ behave like a totally different machine ‘B’ in order to run a software meant exclusively for machine ‘B’. Just like an actor pretends to be someone during the scene who he is not in reality.
Emulation is the task of running a software on a different machine, other than the one it was originally designed for.
