Several years ago, in a "desktop era" it was enough to install all the web-browsers on the developer's machine and review a website in them. Nowadays we also need mobile browsers which don't exist on desktop machines. Google Chrome web-browser has an emulation mode, however, it basically resizes the viewport and emulates touch events. It works on the same Chrome's engine even if you "emulate" iPhone. So it might be enough just to see how a website looks on small screens, but it's never a real emulation.įortunately, we don't need to build large farms of mobile devices in our offices. The major mobile platform manufacturers, Apple and Google, provide great developer tools which include the real simulators and emulators of the mobile devices with great configuration possibilities. In this blog post I'm going to describe step-by-step how to install and configure iOS simulators and Android emulators. Since iOS developer tools are only available on macOS, this is the main pre-requirement: you need a Mac to test your website in iOS Simulator. Android developer tools are cross-platform and it's possible to install them on Mac, Windows and Linux. #Safari mac browser emulator or emulation for free#Īs a Mac user you can download and install it for free from App Store.
