How to Install iOS on Desktop

[Jag Jaeger]

I have desktop with following configuration,

-P4
-Intel 845 Mercury Mother Board
-750 DDR2 Ram
-256 Graphic Card

Is it possible to install iOS on this desktop, if yes can anyone share steps to install this OS.

Thanks in advance...

As far as I know this is not possible today.
I have not heard of any emulator or so that can handle iOS apps on another machine. Maybe there is something in the iOS developer environment from Apple, but I'm not a developer.

To run iOS you need either an iPhone, iPod touch or iPAD.

There is an simulator in XCode to test code on a Mac. But it's creating code for Intel CPU; not for ARM as used on iDevices. It's actually cheating a bit this way but ok for what it should do.

That said: there is no public available way to run iOS on intel CPU; you also would miss some important hardware like touch screen etc. not even talking about difference in GPU.

Why you want that ? Wouldn't a Linux or BSD variant give what you need; maybe someone even made a skin for those ?

IOS or OSX?

Hi,
Maybe what you want is OSX on your PC, right?
If so, check Hackintosh.com, they have what you need.

@FotoDirk - Thanks for taking interest, but I was searching for some virtual software that can support iOS for application development.

@ChristianJapan - I agree with you that I am missing touch screen hardware and trying to get some alternative for same.

Get a used Mac Mini, install XCode and use the simulator; as long you don't install on a device you don't need developer program membership. Its the easiest way.

Thanks ChristianJapan, same thing I did. I had taken program membership and running smoothly. Thanks for taking interest and for giving suggestion.
