For more details click [here](https://github.com/Schlaubischlump/LocationSimulator/issues/171).   \n\u003e I do not support beta versions of iOS.\n\n\u003e **Note**:   \n\u003e If you use iOS 16 or greater you need to enable Developer Mode first. The Developer Mode option should show up in settings the first time you try to use your device with LocationSimulator, after you received the warning, that you must enable Developer Mode.

The target audience of this project are developers who want to test their location service based application. I do not encourage the use of this application to cheat in iOS games and I do not provide support for these games. If you use this application outside of the intended purposes, you are on your own.\n\n![LocationSimulator screenshot](Preview/screenshot.png)\n\n- [Background](#background)\n- [Features](#features)\n- [Install](#install)\n- [Build](#build)\n    - [Requirements](#requirements)\n    - [Build the app](#build-the-app)\n- [Usage](#usage)\n    - [Start spoofing](#start-spoofing)\n    - [Moving](#moving)\n    - [Stop spoofing](#stop-spoofing)\n- [License](#license)\n- [Contribute](#contribute)\n- [Donate](#donate)\n- [Enhancement ideas](#enhancement-ideas)\n\n## Background\n\nWhile I originally planed to build",
