Just having the simulator isn't enough for us Xamarin developers. One big issue with Xamarin is that you need a mac (with xcode installed) on the network in order to do builds. If you could solve that issue along with the having the simulator online then you have my money.

Not ideal but you can use an iOS CI/CD / build automation service like Bitrise (http://www.bitrise.io/) (co-founder / CTO here) to do the builds for you. If the simulator service has an API you can even automate the connection with Bitrise.

There are a few online code compilers too like this Swift one (http://swiftstub.com/) to work with.

Certainly not ideal but probably not impossible.

P.S. at this time you're probably better with an OS X VPS.
