Is there a way to allow this to run in the background? #2

Is it possible or is it another iOS limitation? I can't use it otherwise since I use Moonlight to stream to my iPhone

I think it's impossible. Read this https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/685525. but I want to use it on background too :>.

A possible workaround for this would be to add a mock PiP that users can just put away, it's obviously hacky and the little arrow in the edge will have to be there, but it should work, I can't think of any other way and I'm not sure if it'd work because I've never done iOS development

Thanks for the feature request! I'll be completely honest and say that I've somewhat moved on from this project and haven't used Cemu in almost a year by now, though I might still be open to try and figure out a solution. However, since iOS development requires a recent-ish Apple computer, which I currently don't have, that's unfortunately not happening any time soon.

From a quick search it seems like the best solution would be requesting background GPS location access (and ignoring those events) to keep the application running, something like this. Still, I'm afraid I currently don't have the means (or time) to update this project in any significant way. I appreciate any and all PRs that resolve this, though I understand that it's probably fairly difficult to solve; the code in its current state is also quite a mess, it started out as a sort of proof-of-concept stemming from me being frustrated by BotW gyro shrines, and never really moved on from that c:
