How to install an iPhone application in Linux?

I have the build of an iPhone application. As part of testing i want to emulate it on my Ubuntu. How to do this. Googling simply ate my time


To provide a differing response, I'm running OS X and Xcode on a virtualised (VMware) machine on Linux. CPU is a Core2Quad (Q8800), and it is perfectly fast. I found a prebuilt VM online (I'll leave it to you to find) Xcode/iPhone development works perfectly, as does debugging via USB to the phone itself.

It actually surprised me a lot but I've had no issues at all.- Starting iPhone app development in Linux? - Answer #1

Nope. You can not emulate iOS applications on Linux. You need the XCode and Cocoa libraries, which only exist on OS X. You have three options:

  1. Make a Mac OS X Virtual Machine
  2. Create a Hackintosh
  3. Buy a Mac.

There is no native iOS emulator for Linux, only Mac. Sorry...
