• The computer you are using to spoof your location must be a local device in front of you. It cannot be a server or a computer that you connect to remotely since you will need to plug your iOS device directly into the computer running Spoof.
• Unlock the Device. If your device is locked, Location Spoof will not be able to connect or make changes to your location.

Troubleshooting

If you have issues connecting your device to Spoof or are getting an error when you try, there are a few things that you can try to get things connected.

• If you are using iOS 16.1.1 on an iPhone 14 then you will need to enable Airplane Mode in order to successfully Spoof your iOS device. You will also want to re-enable Wifi and Bluetooth.
  
• The most important thing to remember is that your device needs to be unlocked. If your device is not unlocked when you connect it, you will get a message similar to this, or ERROR: Unable to retrieve device list!
  
• The most common error occurs when you have not yet trusted the computer you are connected to. The first thing you can do to resolve this to open up iTunes and ensure that your device shows up there. This can help prompt the trust message to get your computer and device trusted.
