The session is established between an emulator application executing on the general-purpose computer and the client application, wherein the emulator application is configured to emulate an application programming interface associated with an actual hardware device. Communications are exchanged between the emulator application executing on the general-purpose computer and the client application throughout the session, wherein each the communications is consistent with the application programming interface (API) associated with the actual hardware device.
