The Simulator doesn't have the ability of an actual device, it only appears to look like the device. The Emulator actually emulates an actual device. Therefore you must test iOS apps in an actual device to see how they will actually function. Fred Comments That's the major difference between the iOS Simulator and the Android Emulator.
