iOS emulator for Windows

The goal of this thesis is to create a program for Windows that takes a compiled iOS application and emulates it. However, only the application's machine code is emulated, whereas system functionality originally provided by iOS is translated to an equivalent functionality available on Windows. Hence, the emulated application employs a user interface and behavior that feel native on the target platform. At compile time, custom machine code is generated that supports the translation at runtime. The thesis also describes iOS's internals that the emulator needs to imitate and discusses different approaches to cross-platform development.
