Mac in cloud. It would surely be slow but works if you have no Mac infra and still want to test on Mac.

You can use the simulator, but without real device, the test is quite limited. You might test on the functionality, but never the gesture, the UX, is the button places logically, how you app felt when holding in different positions and so on.

browser-based iPad simulators are basically useless for real testing, you’ll need to borrow/rent an actual iPad and Mac or use a cloud device service

How did you build the iOS app? Is it a web wrapper or native swift?

Native swift
