[BUG] Failed to download DeveloperDiskimage.dmg or DeveloperDiskImage.dmg.signature, on IOS 16

[Ha1T1an]

Hi ! first of all i'd like to thank you very much for this application, but since i've downloaded the last version of IOS, it doesn't work anymore. I've enabled the developer mode and all but it won't work.

i've seen some people who had the same problem as me but i can't seem to find the "diskimage" option in "preference" (screenshot), if somebody can help me ... (i'm on iphone 8 and use Macos monterey verson 12.6 btw)

Hi great that you like the application so far !

Which iOS 16 version are you using ? Is it really 16.0 or maybe 16.0.1 or 16.0.2 or some kind of beta version ?

The error message is just telling you, that the DeveloperDiskImage could not be downloaded automatically. You can still do it manually. The issue linked in the Readme has more information:

Edit:

I just saw your edit:

1. It looks like you don't have the latest version of LocationSimulator. Have you downloaded 0.1.9.3? You can download it from github or update it via homebrew.
2. Usually an older DeveloperDiskImage e.g the one for 16.0 will work for 16.0.1 as well.

Thanks for you quick response ! i'm curently using 16.0.2 on my phone. installing the newest version rn

[Schlaubischlump]

In this case the DeveloperDiskImage for 16.0 should work.

Thank you for the information, I will update LocationSimulator to support the automatic download for 16.0.1 and 16.0.2. Might take a couple of days until I upload a new version, but in the meantime manually adding the image should work.

I have problems with the latest version... text doesn't appear and it's crashing whenever i'm clicking on my devices name, is that normal ? Preferences also don't show up that's kind of weird ...

[Schlaubischlump]

Thats not normal. I didn't change anything regarding these aspects of the application. I assume this is a bug with some preferences files.

Can you close the application and delete the following folder:

• /Users/YOUR_NAME/Library/Containers/de.davidklopp.locationsimulator (might be named "LocationSimulator" if you delete it via finder)

[Ha1T1an]

The version i used up until now was provided by that person, if it can help. ( because every time i tried downloading the app from your website, text wouldn't show up )

[Schlaubischlump]

That is really weird... That person really didn't change anything in the source code. He just recompiled the application.

[Schlaubischlump]

It is sometimes hidden. If you press cmd + shift + g (or in the Menubar if Finder is in foreground: Go -> Go To) a window will pop up where you can enter text. Enter the following: "~/Library/Containers/" and hit enter

[Ha1T1an]

ok onto it :)

i just need to delete the "location simulator right ?

[Schlaubischlump]

Yes correct. Moving it to the desktop should do the trick as well

[Ha1T1an]

ok done 👍 what next ?

[Schlaubischlump]

Does LocatioSimulator start now or is the window still buggy ?

[Ha1T1an]

I'm happy to say: you may have saved my friends college project, thank you so much. it works :)))

[Schlaubischlump]

Glad that I could help ! Did adding the DeveloperDiskImage manually work as well ?

[Ha1T1an]

I didn't have to do anything about that :), it dowloaded itself

[Schlaubischlump]

Ahh that makes sense. I forgot, that I coded LocationSimulator to ignore the revision number. That means 16.0.1 and 16.0.2 are treated the same as 16.0. Therefore it will automatically load the iOS 16.0 image files. Thanks for your answer and I let me know if anything isn't !

[Ha1T1an]

i won't hesitate if i need anything, thank you again for your help :))
