• Every Application, which is to be runnable in macOS based system(i.e. iOS phone,pad,laptops etc.) must be develop through Xcode which use swift language.
• So,For develop iOS based app in Visual Studio for Windows, you can use mac agent. 
  
• For mac agent,at least one macOS based system should be connect to your Windows based local system Network then you just Remote Login your System to macOS based system.
• then you create create iOS based system in Visual studio for Windows.

    5 Installing Emulators:

        Emulators are the virtual mobiles which are use for testing purpose and run in local machines.these are act as a same as a physical mobile.

• iOS Emulators

1. iOS Emulators are genrated and run through Xcode which is use by xamarin for testing iOS Emulators supports rotation,ScreenShot capturing and pressure sensors etc.
2. iOS Emulators can be usable in Visual Studio for Windows through remote mac egent but in reality it work in mac System.

• Android Emulators

     In Previous section,we download all SDK so here we just download emulators and setting up them.

• In android Sdk Manager,go to Tools Section and check android emulator.
  
• then now open Android Device Manager.go to Tools>Android>Android Device Manager...
  
• Now,you will get a Android Device manager screen 
  
• here,you can manage all device which you are already created and create new devices and set the specification as you need
  
• here specify all configuration of your emulator then click create button
• Now your emulator is ready for testing your xamarin App.
