AirPlay Mirroring iPhone to Mac OS / using UIWebView + AirPlay


I need to live-demo a Mobile Safari browser app (iOS 5, iPhone 4S) on my Macbook and was wondering the best way to do this?

One way I thought might be possible would be using AirPlay Mirroring, but there doesn't seem to be any Mac OS apps capable of showing my iPhone screen mirrored.

I am an (beginner) iOS developer and wondered if there was anyway I could knock up a basic app with a UIWebView in it to somehow stream the contents of the web page and my interactions with it to my Mac.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: Yes I know I could use the iPhone Simulator, but I need to interact with it on the handset using the mobile phone network.

  • The situation has changed since this was asked.

    AirServer (AirServerApp.com) and Reflection (ReflectionApp.com) both support AirPlay mirroring. Here's an article comparing them:
