I have installed everything as requested. The iPhone is displayed on the left menu.
When I click on it, only a black screen appears on the right.

Ich habe alles wie gefordert installiert. Das iPhone wird links in der Leiste angezeigt,
wenn ich das anklicke, erscheint rechts lediglich ein schwarzes Bild und keine Map.

Hi @PanetiX,

  1. Does the normal maps app work ?
  2. Are you using a hackintosh /virtual machine or similar software to run macOS on unsupported hardware ?

This looks very much like a GPU failure / missing GPU acceleration. See #147

Yes i use MacOS BigSur on VMware on Windows. Does this not work? :(
It was great when you will do a working LocationSimulator Version on Windows, too.
This will highly increase the usage of your great application.

In the past i had a iMac and used your tool for a long time, it worked really great.
Bot now i only has a Windows PC and try to get your tool to work so i tried to use VMware to run MacOS just to use LocationSimulator :D

That depends on VMWare. If VMWare supports GPU acceleration, then LocationSimulator will work.

Porting to Windows is sadly out of reach for me. All the UI libraries I use are not available on Windows. Doing a Windows port would require a complete rewrite. Since I'm developing the software in my freetime without getting paid, I don't ever see me putting in the effort to develop a Windows version.
