Flutter: iOS Emulator for Windows

I have started to learn flutter by Google and installed it in android studio. I have an emulator for Android but I don't know how to run this in iOS.

Is it possible to run an iOS emulator in windows? If yes, how can I do that?

Most iOS developers use (in a separate window) VMWare WorkStation (a virtual Machine) and install MacOS with XCode.

You can always go back to VMWare, but these 2 links might be helpful.
