Effective and current way to test Asp.Net MVC applications on Android and ios

I appreciate there is a lot of information around this that you can access via a quick internet search. However, I feel there is so much that is difficult to find the most up to date and accurate information.

We are working in a Windows environment running Asp.Net MVC applications with JavaScript. So, my question is very specific to that scenario.

I need up to date help with recommending an approach and tools for debugging\recreating issues found on apple or android devices.

• Is it necessary\best to have an apple machine to connect apple device to?

• Is it necessary\best to have an android device connected to a Windows PC?

• Are there any tools\emulators that can do either or both on a Windows environment?

Any other advice would be appreciated.
