Emulate/Simulate iOS in Linux [closed]

I'm developing a web app that apparently is having problems in iOS devices. The problem is that I don't own an iOS device and I develop in Linux Ubuntu. I'm looking for a way to emulate/simulate this OS in Linux (especially the browser), but haven't found anything.

So far, what I've found is the iOS SDK's Simulator, but that is meant for the Mac. And also some emulator for Windows. Has anyone done this before?

Can I emulate iOS on Linux?

Nope. You can not emulate iOS applications on Linux. You need the XCode and Cocoa libraries, which only exist on OS X.

Is there a real iOS emulator?

Xcode has a really good iOS emulator built in for testing purposes and so you can run your app on a virtual device instead of deploying it on a physical device. The best thing about the built in Xcode emulator is the fact that you get access to a variety of devices and screen sizes with different iOS versions.

Is there a way to emulate iOS?

Smartface allows you to emulate your iOS and Android application on a Windows PC with a single click. To emulate your application on any iOS device, like an iPad emulator or an iPhone emulator, download Smartface app from the iOS App Store and connect your iOS device to your Windows machine.

The only solution I can think of is to install VMWare or any other VT then install OSX on a VM.

It works pretty good for testing.

On linux you can check epiphany-browser, resizes the windows you'll get same bugs as in ios. Both browsers uses Webkit.

Ubuntu/Mint:

sudo apt install epiphany-browser
