A new company called Virtual is claiming that it can imitate nearly any Android or iOS device almost perfectly in software, on any platform, with nearly ‘native quality’ performance. It does this with a combination of virtualization and emulation technology and it could change the way that developers test apps.
Emulating iOS and Android in the cloud
I give them a month before Apple has them shut down. I’m sure it’s against the TOS.
That doesn’t matter much, because most of their value is in the Android offering.
It’s already easy enough to test Apple devices, the emulator is pretty good, most of them on the latest iOS, and the number of devices is small.
With Android though… Phew.
