As a developer, I occasionally have to test software on non-PC platforms. Naturally, it’s easier if this testing takes place on a PC, as it makes debugging much easier. For example, what if you want to run Android apps on your PC? I’ve been doing just that for a while, first in Android Studio and more recently in Visual Studio with Xamarin. Both use the same Android emulators (a tip, BTW: If you are using Xamarin and have Android Studio installed, don’t update your Android Studio; it wipes out any emulators set up in Xamarin).
