I am Android dev and I am planing to do some development for iphone/ipad devices. I know that you can use xcode emulator but it doesn’t support some libraries and obviously the app has to be tested on real device before submitting it to the store. I am thinking about getting the iPad as I don’t need another phone. Do you think guys this is a good idea?

Always test your app on a physical device. Really.
As suggested, get a single device for your primary testing and rely on beta testers using a wider range of devices to get coverage.
iPad seems like a sensible choice. It has most features from the other devices: gyro, camera, location, et cetera.
TestFlight is awesome for beta testing.
I hope you’ll have fun with iOS development.
