To emulate real phones, often the best choice is to download a desktop app which, for Windows, is usually paid/freemium, on Mac just use the Xcode one (but I doubt Mac people are looking for this Q/A).įreemium online easy to use that I found recently is Appetize.io it seems to really render the screen according to network, but honestly I didn't really dig into whether it also has identical features and indentically missing features as real iOS.

You may also advise your client to upgrade iOS on their devices (unless they have a specific reason not to do so).EDIT 2020: Most of these are basically just to test resolution stuff, some of them even outdated, sadly, mobile browser development went sideways with desktop (especially in Apple), therefore one can't really "emulate" a real phone with these as mentioned with comment. This may not be the device used by your client but it best matches with your clients environment.Īlso, Apple recommended to upgrade to the latest version of iOS available for your device. Note: In my test-run, I have observed that I was not able to get iPad 2 and iPad Retina (both running iOS 8.2) to show up in desktop Safari's Develop menu, only iPad Air. Voila! you can now easily debug the issue with you Web app.

Now switch to Safari for macOS and go to Develop → Simulator - iPad - iOS 8.2 → Safari (website) in the Menu bar. Launch Safari on the iPad and open the desired Web page.
In the Simulator app go to Hardware → Device → iOS 8.2 in the Menu and select the desired model of iPad from the available options (iPad 2/iPad Retina/iPad Air) that best matches your client's device. Go to Safari → Preferences → Advanced and check Show Develop menu in menu bar. To easily access the Simulator subsequently, you can right click on the Simulator icon in the Dock and choose Options → Keep in Dock. In the Simulator, go to Setting app → Safari → Advanced and turn on the toggle next to Web Inspector. Launch Simulator.app by launching Xcode.app and going to Xcode → Open Developer Tool → Simulator in the Menu Bar.

Is there a way to recreate the same software environment (Safari running on iOS 8.2.0) that our client is using to debug the issue with our website?
#MOBILE SAFARI EMULATOR MAC INSTALL#
so is it possible to install iOS 8.2.0 onto one of our iPads in order to try and re-create the problem? We want to do everything we can to recreate the issue that the client is experiencing. Looking at the User Agent string, the only difference we can see is that we are running iOS version 9.3.5, whereas the client's version of iOS is 8.2.0. On every iPad we have tested, the button works. We have watched them do this in fullstory multiple times, consistently they try to tap the button, but nothing happens.
Whenever they tap on the button in their iPad, nothing happens.
The button works perfectly on everything we have tested it on, including our own in-house iPad(s).Ī Client of ours, however, is having no such luck. The action of this button is handled by jQuery. We have an issue with our website and a client's iPad.
