In a blog post, de Vos explains that the tricky part was emulating the hardware components of the iPod touch. Martijn de Vos, also known as devos50, has used a lot of reverse engineering to emulate the very first version of the iPhone OS released for the first-generation iPod touch in 2007, after the iPhone was launched.The project took more than a year to work as the developer had to figure out how to simulate things like multitouch support and other hardware components.

iPhone OS 1.0 emulated without iPhone hardware One developer has successfully emulated the first version of the iPhone OS (remember that name?) on a computer using QEMU. But when it comes to iOS, pretty much no one has been able to run it on other platforms – at least until now. Hat tip to Spencer Carli for introducing this tool in his excellent Production Ready React Native course.For years, people have been able to run macOS on non-Apple computers thanks to Hackintosh tools. When you're done, be sure to turn this off or you'll be hating life living in a 3G world (how did we survive?)! It sure would be nice if this tool showed up in the menu bar to remind you it's enabled. Now, just adjust the settings to whatever limits you want to apply. Next, double tap the 'Network Link Conditioner Pref Pane' icon to install it. Once the download is complete, open the '.dmg' file and double tap the 'Hardware' folder. Search for the verion of 'Additional Tools Xcode ?' that matches your version of Xcode. You'll need to install the conditioner from the Apple Developer's website. It lets you throttle your Mac's entire network connection which of course limits the network speed of any iOS simulators or Android emulators on the same machine. Today, I discovered the 'Network Link Conditioner' Sytem Preferences pane. Now, that I'm developing React Native apps, I had no idea how to do this. When I was primarily developing Cordova based apps (Ionic Framework), this was easy to do in Chrome, as it comes with built-in throttling.

So, it's good to run your app in a simulated poort network condition. When developing mobile apps, it's important to recognize your mobile users will likely have a much slower network connection than you use while developing.
