I’m looking for true iPhone and iPad simulators for web development. Obviously websites like:
- http://alexw.me/ipad2/
- http://iphone4simulator.com/
- http://ipadpeek.com/
- Adobe AIR version of iPad
won’t do the trick because they don’t even support meta="viewport", they don’t send proper user agent to website, they don’t support touch events and their code parser is different from true iPhone/iPad parser.
Bugs that appear on iPad/iPhone are never observed on standard browsers and the only browser that partially has the same issues is IE7. That’s why I’d like to test.
Are they any TRUE iPhone/iPad/Android simulators?
Yes; it comes with the Xcode IDE (Mac only).
I guess this is probably not what you wanted to hear, but it’s the truth.
The best option, IMHO, would be to get a cheap-ish used iPad (and iPod Touch). You can’t get a good feeling for the touch interaction from a simulator.
