I'm planning to develop for Windows Phone 7 inside a VirtualBox VM on an OSX host. Am I going to be able to debug my app on the device? I've had problems with USB on VMs before.
Noting the system requirements of the emulator ...
Setup and System Requirements for Windows Phone Emulator
... these constraints won't be in the way if you're not intending to use it.
Joel blogged his experiences doing just this with XP here.
Running the Windows Phone Dev Tools on Windows XP
Provided your VM environment can handle the USB connection and I don't see any barriers to this.
Windows Phone development isn't support on XP at all (VM or otherwise), so I think that's going to be the first roadblock.

I program for Android/Web platform by using Linux as host, I need recently to program for iOS platform and it seems I cannot do it from my current OS. So before buying a MacBook and an iPhone I need to be sure about that.
is this table info correct? can a virtual machine for MacOS and an iOS emulator be used?
I've enabled the support for windows-desktop on flutter... but is there any way to compile and run the windows flutter app on macOS?
As of now! Unfortunately, "build windows" is only supported on Windows hosts.
However, you can have have virtual tools to help you build on Mac for example
Apple Boot Camp
The Boot Camp Assistant app is pre-installed on every recent Mac, and launching it will walk you through the process of installing Windows 10.
Parallels Desktop
Using Parallels Desktop 11, you can run Windows apps side-by-side with existing Mac applications, including Visual Studio and Cortana.
VMWare Fusion
Fusion 8 from VMWare will let you run Visual Studio right on your Mac desktop.
Oracle VirtualBox
VirtualBox is a free application for running virtual machines on your computer, and it supports running Windows on Mac.
Once you have these tools, you can install windows and start developing on Windows but virtually through Mac host.
Since i started developping applications using Rad Studio 10 i'm able to test the windows and android versions on my desktop.
However, i do not have a Mac. So i decide to create a virtualbox guest Mac OSX Sierra on my Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. It works fine but i'm not able to connect and share files between Mac/Windows or test iPhone using Rad Studio.
What steps do it requires to configure my virtualbox to work with RAD Studio 10 ?
You are lucky if virtual box work fine, me i always have trouble with it (especially connecting the ios device). However i found that vmware is much more stable, full screen resolution, much (much) better to handle the iphone connection via usb, and i didn't have yet any crash when on virtual box it's quite often
on vmware, you can also copy/past text from the virtual machine to the host that is very usefull when debuging (on virtual box you can not)
on both (vmware and virtual box) you need to setup the connection as bridged connection. after you successful installed the emb pa server, you can get the ip of the machine with the command "i"
As my local computer is becoming less powerful I am exploring other options before buying a new one. One of those would be to move my developing environment to an EC2 instance and develop from there using a remote connection.
It is my understanding that in theory I would be able to test my apps on the Android/iOS emulator, but would I be able to deploy the app to my device if I am running Appcelerator Studio (eclipse) on a remote EC2 machine?
If anyone has information of this and can guide me as to what are the possibilities I will appreciate it.
Thanks
You can rent a MacInCloud.com including Appcelerator Studio.
You need a Mac for iOS development and running a virtualized Mac on EC2 is technically against Apple's licensing and might not be possible (due to virtualization CPU option blocking).
You can check out Codename One which does pretty much that for Java. We have a build cloud where we have physical Macs, Windows & Linux machines to build for all targets.
I am using EclipseMe on Ubuntu. I want an emulator that can emulate mouse movements on screen.
Is there an s60 emulator for linux?
Edit:
Does net beans has an in built emulator that can emulate mouse movement on device screen?
Netbeans uses the Sun Wireless Toolkit.
The JavaME emulator it contains can me made into a touchscreen emulator. Read the accompanying documentation, it should be as simple as setting a variable inside a configuration file before stating the emulator.
You can find the specification for MIDP (the top layer of the JavaME platform you're probably targetting) at http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=118
Look at the javax.microedition.lcdui.Canvas class, you will find several methods used to deal with "pointer". While they are more often used to handle touchscreen event, they also map to mouse/joystick clicks on emulators.
You can definitely get the MIDP pointerDragged events when running the emulator on Linux.
This is basic MIDP, no need for fancy JSR-226 (e-swt) support.
The Windows only Symbian Emulator (EPOC) is being scrapped for a QEMU based emulator that will run on all platforms. This will likely be available within 6 months or so.
At the moment, I run Windows XP inside VirtualBox on my Mac for Symbian development. It works fine, but is of course not the ideal solution.
The full symbian OS emulator with application interfaces for Java and Symbian C is windows based unfortunately.
I usually get a MS Windows Vista install disk and install that into a VM like VirtualBox and than install the symbian SDks on top of that..
Works best on those 4 core desktop 64-bit computers now on sale for $687 as you get access to full 8 gig ram and close to 1 terabyte hard drive..
