I am planning to use jquery Mobile to create a mobile web app for the iPhone. Is there an iPhone emulator that Visual Studio 2010 can launch and display the app when I start the app in VS?

There are several of them, but I am not sure how close they come to the original.
Some links to try:

There's more, just google for "windows iphone simulator"
You can try this simulator as well:

I want to run local test of an app using the Android Emulator within Visual Studio 17. It works great using the Visual Studio Emulator for Android and the app is almost complete.
However I need to add a map with a few pins and I have this working and tested on my PC using the UWP app. However trying to run on the Android emulator there is no Maps as there is no play store.
I have googled lots and found lots of things to try but none seem to work and I notice that the latest of all the pages and blogs I have read are dated 2015 so in software terms and indeed Xamarin they are very old.
So if I want to test the maps part of my app what is the best way if I can't get the Emulator to run with maps or am I missing some fancy new tool to test with other than shipping the app and hoping that it works in the wild?
Thanks
Cliff.
You cannot see the map as Visual studio emulators for Android do not have google play services installed by default. In order to test and see your map, you should install google play services in the android emulator.
You can do this by installing gapps on your emulator which provides you with google play services functionallity. The installation is just a drag and drop in the emulator. After installing this packge, you could use maps on the emulator.
I would create a new Android VM in that process you can tell it to add the google store to the android VM
trying to launch XAP and it's just stuck loading, I checked the settings and it's stuck on 'Acquiring IP'. I've tried to repair it in Control panel& programs, same thing. It worked fine yesterday, I didn't change anything.
Using API 19, and Windows 7.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Xamarin Android Player is discontinued, it is recommended to use Android simulators for Visual Studio or Google x86 emulators
I am using xamarin studio community edition on my macbook pro. when I try to run any sample project on android emulator it takes infinite time.
Can you please suggest. FYI It was working previosuly . Please check screen shot Android emulator error
I would highly suggest using the Xamarin Android Player instead of Google's default emulator manager.
The Xamarin Android Player is much faster and more reliable in my opinion although I have also heard that choosing different Google Play emulator images can make a big difference. Installing HAXM can also speed up the default Intel Google Play emulator images.
Download the Xamarin Android Player from here.
*Edit: Thanks to #SushiHangover for pointing out the fact that Xamarin deprecated the Xamarin Android Player. SushiHangover suggests using the Genymotion Android emulator which I have heard good things about but have not tried yet.
My idea is to use macincloud to build xamarin project. And I'd like to debug it also.
On xamarin's site it's written that "Xamarin.iOS applications can be debugged with the built-in debugger in Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio." But it's still not clear if the device, for example iPad can be connected to Windows machine? Or It has to be connected to Mac only?
Device has to be connected to the Mac. If we are connecting to a mac remotely, we can use a Simulator and and view the result using a RDP client like TeamViewer. I'm not sure if that is possible with MainCloud. You can also go for Xamarin Test Cloud if that is feasible for you.
No, it's not possible to deploy to device and debug with MacinCloud. You can however launch a simulator and debug your app inside the emulator.
If you want to deploy to your ipad you can use publish your app with TestFlight service and install TestFlight builds on your iPad.
See more details at Developing iOS Apps in Visual Studio with MacinCloud
There are two possible ways how to do it. First one is more proper but it's in preview version - Microsoft introduced Xamarin Live Player.
Second way is to have your own virtual machine of macOS on Windows machine. Here is the tutorial how to do it.
I am new to Xamarin and i am trying to the sample app "XamarinStone". I can see the emulator is launching, but the application is not loading.
I kept at the same state for 1 hour, but still no hope.
I tried with Visual Studio 2012, but I am facing the same issue.
i installed all the necessary applications as per Xamarin Installer. What else I would need to do?
Can anyone help me to troubleshoot the issue.
Thanks!!
Could you please confirm that you've setup Xamarin latest version in both Windows & Mac PC?
And as per below screenshot of Visual Studio, you see list of iPhone Simulators?
And as per the second highlighted image "Show iOS Simulator" button, when you click on that image, it invokes iOS simulator on your MAC?
