Troubleshooting

Android Emulator Not Working on iOS? 9 Fixes

Nine practical fixes when your Android emulator will not run on iPhone or iPad, covering cloud, remote desktop, and signed IPA setups.

Introduction

Nothing is more frustrating than launching an Android session on your iPhone or iPad and seeing it fail to load. This guide gives nine fixes that cover cloud services, remote desktop hosts, and signed IPA runtimes, plus three additional fixes and deeper diagnostics for when the basics do not cut it. Each fix is actionable, policy-aware, and designed to keep you safe. For setup fundamentals, revisit how to install an Android emulator on iOS (2025 guide) and, if you use the cloud, cloud-based Android emulators for iOS.


Diagnostic Flowchart: Which Fix Applies to You?

Before diving into individual fixes, run through this decision tree to narrow down your problem quickly.

Step 1 — Does the session load at all?

  • If the page never loads or you get a connection error: start with Fix 1 (Network and Region) and Fix 10 (Network Configuration Issues).
  • If the session loads but stays black: jump to Fix 6 (Black Screens).
  • If the session loads but crashes immediately: go to Fix 4 (Recreate or Snapshot the Instance).

Step 2 — Is the problem specific to one app inside the emulator?

  • Yes: the issue is likely the APK, cache, or permissions for that app. Fix 5 and Fix 9 cover these.
  • No (everything fails): fix the session itself first using Fixes 1 through 4.

Step 3 — What method are you using?

  • Cloud streaming: Fixes 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 are most relevant. See also the Cloud-specific section below.
  • Remote desktop: Fixes 7, 3, and 4 address the most common host-side failures.
  • Signed IPA: Fixes 4, 5, 9, and 11 cover certificate, permission, and compatibility problems.

Step 4 — Did this work before and suddenly stop?

  • Yes: check for recent iOS updates, provider outages, and expired certificates. Fixes 9 and 12 are likely culprits.
  • No, it never worked: go through Fixes 1 to 5 sequentially.

1) Verify Network and Region

A poor or blocked network connection is the single most common reason an Android emulator session fails to load on iOS.

Step-by-step:

  1. Open Safari and visit a speed test site. You need at least 15 Mbps download, 5 Mbps upload, and latency below 50 ms for a reliable session. Anything worse will cause stuttering or outright connection failures.
  2. If you are on a school, office, or public Wi-Fi, those networks often block the UDP ports that cloud streaming relies on. Switch to your personal mobile hotspot and retry the session immediately.
  3. Log into your cloud provider's dashboard and check the region selector. If the nearest region shows degraded status, switch to the next closest option and start a new session.
  4. If you use a VPN, disable it completely. Many VPNs add 30–80 ms of extra latency and some actively block the WebRTC traffic that cloud streaming uses.
  5. Once you confirm the network is clean, restart the session from scratch — do not just refresh the page, as some providers cache broken session tokens in the browser.

If the server consistently refuses connections even on a clean network, the guide at fix Android emulator server connection on iOS covers port-level diagnostics in detail.


2) Clear Browser and App Cache

Stale cache, expired cookies, and corrupted auth tokens cause sessions to fail silently. The session appears to start but then hangs or shows an error with no clear message.

Step-by-step:

  1. In Safari, go to Settings → Safari → Clear History and Website Data. This removes cached pages, cookies, and session tokens for all domains, so re-login to all your services afterward.
  2. If you want to clear cache only for the provider domain without clearing everything, use Settings → Safari → Advanced → Website Data, search for the provider domain, and swipe to delete just that entry.
  3. If you use the provider's native iOS app rather than the browser, delete the app entirely and reinstall from the App Store. A simple "offload" is not enough — a full delete removes the cached data stored in the app container.
  4. After reinstalling or clearing, re-login to your account. Do not use a saved password without verifying it first — sometimes outdated credentials stored in iCloud Keychain are the actual problem.
  5. Restart Safari completely (swipe it away from the app switcher) before launching a new session.

3) Lower Resolution and Frame Rate

High-resolution streams are the second most common cause of sessions stalling or freezing. The stream starts, but the encoder on the server side cannot keep up with the requested quality, causing the video pipeline to back up and eventually freeze.

Step-by-step:

  1. In your provider's streaming settings, locate the resolution option. Drop it from 1080p to 720p. This single change reduces the data throughput by roughly 50 percent and is often enough to restore a stable session.
  2. Set the frame rate to 30 fps. For everyday app use and most games, 30 fps is indistinguishable from 60 fps in a streaming context, and it halves the encoder workload on the server.
  3. If the session still stutters, reduce the bitrate setting. Start at around 4–6 Mbps for 720p and raise gradually until you find the stability ceiling for your connection.
  4. After making changes, fully end the session and start a new one rather than just refreshing — many providers only apply quality settings at session initialization.
  5. Once stable, experiment with raising frame rate back to 60 fps before raising resolution. Frame rate adds perceived smoothness while being less demanding on the decoder than resolution.

This is documented in more detail in speed up a slow Android emulator on iOS.


4) Recreate or Snapshot the Instance

Cloud containers and remote desktop sessions accumulate state over time. A container that has been running for days or weeks may have corrupted configuration files, full temporary storage, or stale GPU state that causes failures a simple refresh cannot fix.

Step-by-step for cloud:

  1. Before stopping anything, export or cloud-save your important app data. Most providers have a built-in cloud storage integration or allow you to email files to yourself from within the session.
  2. Stop the container fully — not just suspend it. Look for a "Terminate" or "Delete Instance" option rather than just closing the browser tab.
  3. Create a new instance from a clean base image. If the provider offers snapshots, use the last known-good snapshot rather than the absolute base, as this preserves your installed apps.
  4. Start the new instance and test immediately before installing additional apps.

Step-by-step for remote desktop:

  1. On the host PC, fully close the Android emulator. Do not just minimize it.
  2. Reboot the host. This clears GPU state, resets audio drivers, and flushes any stuck processes.
  3. After reboot, update GPU drivers if they are more than a month old. NVIDIA and AMD release driver updates frequently and older versions can have specific incompatibilities with Android emulator rendering.
  4. Relaunch the emulator before connecting the remote desktop client. Confirm it runs cleanly on the host before trying to stream it to iOS.

Step-by-step for IPA runtimes:

  1. On your iPhone, delete the emulator app entirely.
  2. Obtain a freshly signed IPA. If you signed it yourself, generate a new provisioning profile before building.
  3. Reinstall using your preferred sideloading method. Guidance is in sideload an Android emulator IPA on iOS.
  4. After install, open it immediately and check permissions before launching any APK.

5) Check Permissions

iOS permission prompts are easy to miss or accidentally deny. A denied microphone permission causes audio to fail silently. A denied network permission causes connection errors with no useful message.

Step-by-step:

  1. Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone. Find your emulator app or browser and toggle it on. Repeat for Camera if needed.
  2. Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network. Enable local network access for the vendor app — this is required for some remote desktop clients and local streaming setups.
  3. Go to Settings and scroll to the vendor app section. Confirm that both "Cellular Data" and "Background App Refresh" are enabled if you need persistent sessions.
  4. On the host PC for remote desktop: open Windows Firewall and confirm that the remote desktop server software has exceptions for both inbound private and public network traffic.
  5. Test each permission change by restarting the session — do not assume the change applies to an already-running session.

For stubborn audio permission cases, see fix audio not working in Android emulator on iOS.


6) Diagnose Black Screens

A black screen with a working input layer (you can tap and things happen but you cannot see them) is usually a codec or hardware acceleration mismatch. A completely dead black screen with no input response is usually a session initialization failure.

Step-by-step:

  1. If inputs work but the screen is black, go to provider settings and switch the video codec. If you are on H.265, switch to H.264. H.264 has broader hardware decoder support across iPhone models.
  2. Toggle hardware acceleration. Some providers let you switch between hardware and software decoding — if hardware decoding is on, try software, and vice versa.
  3. Switch browsers. If you are using Safari, try Chrome or the provider's native app. Safari's WebRTC and video decoder implementation differs from Chrome's and some streams are tuned for one over the other.
  4. If the screen is completely black and unresponsive, the session likely failed to initialize. Clear the browser cache (Fix 2), then start a new session from a different region (Fix 1).
  5. After each change, give the session at least 30 seconds to initialize before concluding it has failed.

The full black screen guide is at fix black screen in Android emulator on iPhone.


7) Stabilize the Host (Remote Desktop)

A remote desktop session is only as reliable as the host PC. A host under CPU or GPU pressure will drop frames, stutter audio, and eventually disconnect the session.

Step-by-step:

  1. Update GPU drivers on the host to the latest stable release. This alone fixes a surprising number of rendering issues.
  2. Open Windows Task Manager on the host before launching the emulator. Confirm CPU usage is below 40 percent and RAM has at least 4 GB free. Close browser tabs, cloud sync clients, and any other background processes.
  3. In the emulator settings on the host, set rendering mode to "Auto" or "DirectX" rather than "Software." Software rendering uses the CPU for every frame, which is far more demanding.
  4. Allocate 3–4 GB of RAM to the emulator specifically. Under-provisioning causes memory pressure that manifests as crashes and freezes on the iOS client side.
  5. Go to Windows Power Options and set the power plan to "High Performance" or "Ultimate Performance." Power-saving modes throttle the CPU during sustained load, causing the emulator to stutter right when you need it most.
  6. Disable Windows Update during active sessions. A background update downloading at 50 Mbps will saturate your upload bandwidth and crash the remote desktop stream.

8) Fix Touch and Controller Input

Input failures are often mistaken for session failures. If the stream looks fine but taps do nothing or go to the wrong place, the issue is the touch translation layer, not the emulator itself.

Step-by-step:

  1. In the provider's settings, look for a "touch calibration" or "pointer mode" toggle. Switch between touch and mouse modes to find which one maps correctly to your screen.
  2. Reduce the stream scaling. If the stream is displayed at a non-native resolution inside Safari, touch coordinates are sometimes offset. Enabling desktop mode in Safari can fix scaling mismatches.
  3. For controllers: disconnect the controller, close the session, restart it, and then reconnect the controller. Many streaming setups detect controllers only at session start.
  4. Reset controller mappings inside the emulator app on the host if you use a remote desktop setup. Mapping files can become corrupted, especially after emulator updates.
  5. Test with a single tap before testing complex gestures. If single taps work but swipes fail, the issue is gesture recognition in the streaming layer, not the emulator.

9) Confirm Policy and Account Health

Account-level issues are easy to overlook because the error messages are often generic. A rate-limited account shows the same "connection failed" message as a network error.

Step-by-step:

  1. Log into the provider's web dashboard and check for any notifications, warnings, or usage limit indicators. Some providers throttle or suspend accounts that exceed session hours or compute quotas.
  2. Check your payment method if you use a paid tier. An expired card causes immediate session failures with no clear warning.
  3. Review recent login history for unauthorized access. A compromised account may have its sessions forcibly terminated by the provider's fraud detection.
  4. Avoid sideloaded APKs from unknown sources. Providers scan session activity and may suspend accounts that run flagged binaries. This echoes warnings in security risks of Android emulators on iOS.
  5. Check the terms of any game you run inside the emulator. Some games detect emulator environments and report the account, which can trigger suspensions on both the game account and, indirectly, the provider account if abuse flags accumulate.

Fix 10: Network Configuration Issues

Beyond simple speed and region problems, network configuration at the router and ISP level can silently break emulator sessions in ways that are difficult to diagnose.

Common network configuration problems:

Port blocking: Cloud streaming commonly uses UDP ports in the 10000–60000 range for WebRTC media traffic. Many corporate and school firewalls block these entirely, forcing the stream to fall back to TCP, which adds latency and reduces quality. Test by switching to a mobile hotspot. If the session works there but not on Wi-Fi, port blocking is the culprit.

NAT type: A strict or symmetric NAT prevents the peer-to-peer connections that some streaming providers use. Log into your router and switch from "Full Cone NAT" restrictions to a more permissive setting if available. Alternatively, enable UPnP temporarily to test.

DNS filtering: Some ISPs and managed network providers use DNS filtering that intercepts traffic to streaming domains. Test by temporarily switching your DNS to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) or 8.8.8.8 (Google) in iOS Settings → Wi-Fi → the active network → Configure DNS → Manual.

QoS settings: If your router applies Quality of Service rules that prioritize certain traffic types, the emulator stream may be deprioritized. Temporarily disable QoS and test.

MTU mismatch: A Maximum Transmission Unit mismatch causes packet fragmentation that disrupts streaming. If you use a VPN or PPPoE connection, try setting MTU to 1400 in your router settings and retest.


Fix 11: Device Compatibility Problems

Not every iOS device handles every streaming method equally well. Hardware limitations and iOS version differences create compatibility gaps.

Older iPhone models: iPhones older than the iPhone X (A11 chip) lack the hardware decoders for H.265 (HEVC) video. If you use an older device, always select H.264 in your provider settings. Running H.265 on an unsupported device forces software decoding, which consumes the CPU, generates heat, and eventually causes iOS to throttle performance.

iOS version mismatches: Some WebRTC features and audio APIs were added in specific iOS versions. If you run iOS 15 or earlier, certain cloud providers may not work correctly in Safari. Update to the latest iOS version your device supports.

Safari WebRTC limitations: Safari has historically been the slowest browser to implement WebRTC updates. If a cloud session works on Android Chrome but not on iOS Safari, the issue is a Safari-specific WebRTC gap. Check whether the provider has a native iOS app that bypasses the browser WebRTC stack.

Memory pressure: Older iPhones with 3 GB of RAM or less struggle to hold a cloud streaming session in memory while switching apps. If the session restarts every time you switch apps, enable "Background App Refresh" for the provider app and avoid switching apps during active sessions.

Screen refresh rate compatibility: On iPhone 13 Pro and later with ProMotion (120 Hz), some streaming apps render at a variable rate that creates judder. If you notice uneven motion, lock the display refresh rate to 60 Hz in Settings → Accessibility → Motion → Limit Frame Rate.


Fix 12: Account and Authentication Failures

Authentication failures are among the most confusing issues because they rarely produce clear error messages. A session that fails due to an expired token looks identical to a network failure.

Token expiration: Cloud providers issue session tokens with limited lifetimes. A token earned when you logged in three days ago may expire mid-session. Always log out and log back in if a session fails after being idle for more than a few hours.

Two-factor authentication loops: Some providers re-prompt for 2FA after detecting a new device or unusual login. If you get stuck in a 2FA loop, check whether you have a new iOS device, a new IP address, or recently cleared browser cookies. Complete the 2FA on a secondary device (laptop) to unlock the session.

OAuth token conflicts: If you log into the provider via Google or Apple Sign-In, changes to those linked accounts (password change, security review) can invalidate the OAuth token. Log out of the provider, revoke the app access from your Google or Apple account settings, and re-authorize.

Rate limiting: Providers rate-limit failed login attempts. If you have tried to log in multiple times with the wrong credentials, your account may be temporarily locked. Wait 15–30 minutes and try again with a password reset if needed.

Enterprise account issues: If your emulator access is managed through an employer or school account, your IT administrator can revoke access independently of the provider. Check with your administrator if you suddenly lose access with no change on your end.


Method-Specific Troubleshooting

Cloud Streaming Troubleshooting

Cloud sessions fail in predictable patterns. Work through this sequence before contacting support:

  1. Check the provider's status page first. Most outages are regional and are posted within minutes.
  2. Start a new session in a different region. Do not resume a failed session — always create a fresh one.
  3. Rotate browsers: test Safari, then the native app, then Chrome in that order.
  4. Toggle desktop site mode in Safari (long-press the refresh button).
  5. Disable content blockers and privacy extensions for the provider domain.
  6. Clear site data only for the provider domain rather than doing a full Safari cache clear, to preserve other sessions.
  7. If Play Store fails to authenticate inside the cloud session, sign out of Google, clear Play Store cache, and sign back in.
  8. If the session connects but immediately disconnects, the issue is usually a server-side container restart. Wait 2 minutes and try again.

Remote Desktop Troubleshooting

Remote desktop failures divide into two categories: host-side and network-side.

Host-side checks:

  • Confirm the host PC is powered on and not sleeping. Disable sleep and hibernate entirely while running remote sessions.
  • Verify the remote desktop server software is running as a service, not just as a user application, so it survives screen lock.
  • Check Windows Event Viewer for application errors from the emulator or remote desktop server process in the last hour.
  • Confirm no Windows Update has been applied since the last working session. Some driver updates break remote desktop audio.

Network-side checks:

  • Test the host's external IP address — some ISPs assign dynamic IPs that change after modem resets.
  • Verify port forwarding rules in your router are still active and pointing to the correct host IP.
  • If using a DDNS service, confirm the hostname resolves to the current IP.
  • Test from a different external network (mobile hotspot) to rule out NAT or firewall issues at the client side.

Signed IPA Troubleshooting

IPA runtime failures fall into three categories: certificate issues, permission issues, and runtime crashes.

Certificate issues:

  • Check the certificate expiry date in Settings → General → VPN & Device Management. If it expired, re-sign immediately.
  • If the certificate shows as untrusted, tap it and explicitly trust it. This step is easy to skip after reinstalls.
  • Developer certificates from Xcode expire in 7 days for free accounts. Personal and enterprise certificates last 1 year. Know which type you have.

Permission issues:

  • After every reinstall, go through Settings for the app and re-grant all permissions. iOS does not carry over permissions after a delete and reinstall.
  • Local network permission is the one most commonly missed. It is required for apps that communicate with local services.

Runtime crashes:

  • Check iOS crash logs in Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements → Analytics Data. Look for entries matching the app's bundle ID.
  • If the app crashes on launch consistently, the signing entitlements are likely mismatched. Rebuild with a clean provisioning profile.

Advanced Diagnostics

Network Tools

Ping test: In Safari, navigate to a provider's server status endpoint or use a third-party ping app to measure round-trip latency. Values above 80 ms predict a poor streaming experience.

Traceroute: Use a network diagnostic app to run a traceroute to the provider's server. Look for hops with unusually high latency, which can identify the specific network segment causing problems.

Packet loss test: Sustained packet loss above 1 percent destroys streaming quality. Use a packet loss test tool to measure this before blaming the provider.

WebRTC diagnostics: On desktop Chrome, you can visit chrome://webrtc-internals to inspect active WebRTC streams. On iOS, the provider's support team can sometimes provide diagnostic URLs that show stream statistics.

Reading Logs

iOS crash logs: Access via Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements → Analytics Data. Crash logs are named with the app's bundle identifier and a timestamp.

Remote desktop event logs: On the Windows host, open Event Viewer → Windows Logs → Application. Filter by the remote desktop server application name. Warning and error entries in the last 24 hours are most useful.

Android emulator logs: In Android Studio's AVD or BlueStacks, access logcat from the emulator's settings. Filter by "Error" level to cut through the noise. Crash signatures can be matched against known issues in fix Android emulator crashes on iOS.

Developer Options in Android

Inside the Android session, enabling Developer Options (tap Build Number seven times in Settings → About Phone) unlocks useful diagnostics:

  • Show CPU usage: Displays a real-time CPU overlay. Consistent pegging at 100 percent means the cloud container or host is undersized.
  • GPU rendering profile: Shows per-frame render times as a bar graph. Bars consistently above the 16 ms line indicate rendering bottlenecks.
  • Don't keep activities: Forces the system to destroy apps when you leave them. Useful for diagnosing apps that fail on resume but work on fresh launch.

When Nothing Works: Nuclear Options

These are last-resort steps that eliminate all software state and start completely fresh.

Complete Reinstall (Cloud)

  1. Export all session data using the provider's backup tools.
  2. Delete the cloud account entirely (check whether the provider allows account deletion or just account suspension).
  3. Create a completely new account with a fresh email address.
  4. Start from a base image with no customization.
  5. Re-install apps one at a time, testing after each installation to identify which app causes regression.

Complete Reinstall (Remote Desktop)

  1. On the host PC, uninstall the Android emulator completely.
  2. Delete all emulator data folders (typically in AppData\Local for Windows). These persist after a normal uninstall and can carry corrupted state.
  3. Reinstall the emulator from a fresh download.
  4. Before restoring any backup, test a clean session end-to-end.

Factory Reset Consideration

Performing a factory reset on your iPhone is almost never necessary for emulator issues, because cloud and remote desktop problems are server-side. However, if you are running a signed IPA and have accumulated corrupted profiles:

  1. Back up to iCloud or a Mac.
  2. Go to Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Erase All Content and Settings.
  3. After reset, restore from backup and reinstall only the emulator app.
  4. Re-sign and reinstall the IPA before restoring any app data.

Prevention Strategies

Fixing issues reactively costs time. These practices prevent most common failures before they happen.

Snapshot discipline: Take a cloud instance snapshot every time you reach a stable, working state. Label snapshots with the date and what is installed. When something breaks, roll back to the last good snapshot in under a minute.

Certificate calendar: Add a recurring reminder in your calendar 14 days before your IPA certificate or provisioning profile expires. Re-signing two weeks early means you always have a valid cert and time to troubleshoot if the re-sign fails.

Network baseline: Run a speed and latency test weekly and keep a record. When a session suddenly degrades, you can compare against baseline to determine whether the problem is your network or the provider's.

Staged updates: When a provider pushes an update to their client app, do not update immediately. Wait 48 hours and monitor forums or the provider's status page for reports of issues. Update during a low-stakes time.

Two-method policy: Always maintain both a cloud account and a configured remote desktop path. If one method fails, you can switch within minutes and continue working. This is described in detail in the Building a Resilient Workflow section below.

APK provenance: Only install APKs from sources you have verified. Malicious APKs can trigger account flags, install adware inside the session, and in some IPA configurations create sandbox escapes. The detailed risks are covered in security risks of Android emulators on iOS.

Update sequencing: Update iOS, the emulator app, and the remote client separately, not all at once. If something breaks, you want to know which update caused it.


When to Switch Methods


Building a Resilient Workflow

  • Two-method policy: Always maintain both a cloud account and a remote desktop path. If one fails, you can switch with minimal downtime.
  • Template images: Keep a base image with essential apps. Clone it for experiments so failures do not affect your core workspace.
  • Bandwidth budgeting: If you rely on mobile data, schedule heavy tasks for Wi-Fi and keep an eye on bitrate so you do not burn through data caps.
  • Documentation: Maintain a short runbook that lists your preferred resolutions, codecs, and backup regions. This speeds up recovery when issues recur.

Proactive Monitoring to Catch Issues Early

  • Ping tests: Run simple latency tests before long sessions. If latency is unstable, fix that first to avoid session drops.
  • Host resource checks: Keep an eye on CPU, RAM, and GPU usage on the host during remote desktop sessions. Spikes can predict crashes.
  • Provider health: Subscribe to status alerts from your cloud vendor so you know about incidents before a session.
  • App update timing: Delay updates to critical apps until you have a backup. If a new version fails, roll back using snapshots or previous APKs.

Final Readiness Drill

  • Run a 5-minute test session at your target resolution.
  • Verify audio, touch, and controller input.
  • Confirm backups exist for your key apps and data.
  • Note the exact settings that worked so you can restore them quickly if anything changes.

Conclusion: Quick Wins First, Then Rebuild If Needed

Most failures resolve by improving the network, lowering resolution, refreshing tokens, and checking permissions. If those steps fail, rebuild the instance or switch methods. Always keep a fallback plan: cloud plus remote desktop covers most scenarios. For heavy users, pair these fixes with the stability advice in fix Android emulator crashes on iOS.


FAQs

Why does the session load but stay frozen? Try lowering resolution, switching codecs, and recreating the container. If using remote desktop, update GPU drivers.

Do I need to reinstall every time? No. Start with cache clears and resolution tweaks. Reinstall only if certificates or instances are corrupted.

Can VPNs break emulator access? Yes. Disable VPNs or choose split tunneling for the emulator domain.

Is this an Apple policy issue? Usually not for cloud or remote desktop. For policy context, read does Apple allow Android emulators on iPhone.

What if audio works but video does not? Switch browsers, toggle hardware acceleration, or use the vendor app. Follow the black screen guide if needed.

Why does my session work on one Wi-Fi network but not another? Different networks have different firewall rules and NAT configurations. Corporate and school networks commonly block the UDP ports streaming uses. Test on a personal hotspot to confirm network-level blocking, then review Fix 10 for solutions.

How do I know if my IPA certificate is expired? Go to Settings → General → VPN & Device Management. Find the profile associated with the emulator app and check the expiry date. If it is past due, the app will refuse to open with a "developer cannot be verified" message.

Can I run multiple emulator sessions at once on one iPhone? For cloud sessions, you can open multiple browser tabs but performance will degrade. For remote desktop, you are limited to what the host can handle. IPA runtimes run in isolated sandboxes but share the iPhone's CPU and memory — two active IPA sessions will cause severe slowdowns on any current iPhone model.
