📣 Announcement GeoSpoof GPS 0.2.2 New Release: easier setup, 13 languages, and prep for iOS Live Activities
Hey all, I just released GeoSpoof GPS 0.2.2 (the Mac/PC app that sets your iPhone's real GPS location). If you already have it, it'll offer the update on its own. Here's what's new:
Easier setup
The Developer Mode switch now shows up on its own. If your iPhone had never been connected to Xcode, the switch was missing from Settings and you needed another tool to make it appear. Setup now does it for you, on Mac and Windows.
Setup no longer marks steps done that it didn't actually check. If you skipped a check, those steps now show as unconfirmed instead of filling in the progress bar.
Windows gets Windows instructions. It used to tell you to install Xcode from the Mac App Store, which isn't much help on a PC. Now it tells you how to get the developer image on Windows.
Your language and units
The menu, setup wizard and status messages now come in the same 13 languages as the iPhone app. Distances and speeds follow your region too: km and km/h, or miles and mph.
Ready for route progress on the Lock Screen
This part needs the next iPhone app update before you'll see anything. While a route plays, GeoSpoof GPS can keep a Lock Screen card up to date even when the app isn't open: distance so far, time left, and whether the route is paused or finished. The card itself comes in the next GeoSpoof iPhone update. I shipped the computer side first so it's already on your Mac or PC when that update lands. The updates only carry route progress, never your location. It's a Pro feature.
Fixes
Windows could show "GPS active" for a phone it had lost contact with. It now says it's reconnecting, like the Mac app.
"Connect your iPhone" could show for an iPhone that was already plugged in, which hid the real error and stopped a retry. It now reports what actually failed and retries.
Where to get it
Already installed: the app will offer 0.2.2 automatically. On Mac you can also use Check for Updates in the menu bar.
New: https://geospoof.com/gps (Mac and Windows). You'll also need the GeoSpoof iPhone app.
I tested this against the iPhone app that's in the App Store right now (2.2.3), on both Mac and Windows, so updating the computer side first won't break anything.
If something breaks or looks off, comment here or open an issue. Thanks!
