You Asked: Can I Run iOS on a Virtual Machine?
Contents

Simple answer: No. Apple does not allow iOS to run anywhere else but iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch) and the Xcode simulator.

Can you run iOS on a VM?

IOS doesn’t run on AMD64 architecture. It’s ARM. Do you mean running Mac OSX in a VM? It’s against the license agreement, as it can only legally be run on Apple hardware.

Is it illegal to run OSX in a virtual machine?

It is only legal to run OS X in a virtual machine if the host computer is a Mac. Therefore yes it would be legal to run OS X in VirtualBox if VirtualBox is running on a Mac. The same would apply to VMware Fusion and Parallels.
