How to simulate native iOS app on Windows for UI tests?
Is there a way to emulate/simulate a native iOS app on Windows in order to identify the elements and properties for UI tests? I have: .ipa file, source code, visual studio, Win-PC, iPhone but no Mac to build and simulate the app which is written using Xamarin.iOS.
I am not looking for online platforms like Browserstack, Saucelabs, AppCenter or similar. I am familiar with those options.

As far as I am aware it is only possible to build iOS applications using a Mac build host. However, I am familiar with other people using a virtual machine to simulate a MacOS. This link could be considered a duplicate to your question and it seems to have been answered succinctly. As is noted in other threads, be careful with the certain legality of this approach. Can Apple Mac OS runs on virtual machine in Windows as build host with Xamarin.iOS?
