+For **Android**, you first need to set up Android Virtual Devices, called AVDs. You
+can do this in Android Studio using the [Virtual Device Manager](https://developer.android.com/studio/run/managing-avds).
+
+For **iOS**, after installing Xcode, you should have a default set of simulators set up. However,
+it is possible to delete them and there is no easy way to restore them afterwards. You can use
+[a script like this one](https://gist.github.com/dynamicguy/e8756a9f0f50af86d6e746d4b1ab6a09) to
+recreate the default set.
