Couldn't you technically run Windows 7/8 under VMWare and then run the Windows Phone tools under that? VMWare has nested virtualisation (at least on Workstation 10 on Windows, think its there on Fusion or the Paralles options). And given MS give free VMs for testing IE on Macs too, your a step closer...
- untog 12y agoLast time I tried, no. This is going from memory so I may be incorrect, but the WP emulator required some level of hardware virtualisation that VirtualBox (at least) could not offer in that nested way.
- edandersen 12y agoParallels supports this nested virtualization. The WP 8.1 emulator requires HyperV which Parallels supports. I've managed to get this working on a Mac with a Parallels VM running Windows 8.1 running a Windows Phone 8.1 VM. It... worked, but needed lots of memory.
- devNoise 12y agoYou can get a free VM from MS to test under IE at https://modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools https://modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools On the mac, they are support VMWare, VirtualBox and Parallells.
