Today, we previewed support for iOS USB remoting which makes it possible to deploy and debug apps from Visual Studio to an iOS device plugged into your Windows PC.
The simulator also supports all the features you would expect such as device rotation, taking a screenshot, and even simulating location changes.ĭebugging on simulators is a great start, but there is really no substitute for testing on physical devices. Even multi-touch interactions are supported on Windows machines with touch capable screens, so you can interact with your app just as a user would by tapping, pinching, or swiping your touchscreen display-things that could previously only be tested on physical devices.
Our iOS Simulator remoting enables you to interact with apps running in Apple’s iOS Simulator running on a Mac as though the simulator were running locally. The part related to iOS simulator on Windows: Check out this post from Miguel de Icaza.
