iOS app?

[EashanC23]

Is there a way the mac app can be ported to be built and run on iOS to save the hassle of pulling out a computer/laptop if one needs to spoof somewhere not at home?

Theoretically it could be possible, but that would require a complete rewrite from the ground up including adjusting the dependencies like libimobiledevice, which is in development since more 10 years. And you would most likely still require a second iOS device to spoof the location of the other device.

Explanation:

• The app is written with AppKit, not with UIKit. iOS does not support AppKit at all. That means the complete UI needs to be rewritten with UIKit and needs to be kept compatible with all platforms.
• libimobiledevice needs usbmuxd, which is available on the mac (with a sandbox exception). iOS does not have a usbmux daemon at all. You need to write one yourself, that is compatible with Wi-Fi (which the libimobiledevice implementation of usbmuxd is not). You would need to update it constantly to keep up to date with apples changes.
• Even if you managed to do the things above, Apple will most likely just reject your app.
• Even if Apple does not reject your app, the amount of people who are willing to pay enough money for it is almost zero. So you will most likely not get compensated at all for your work.

I definitely don't have the time and resources for that...

At that point it is easier to just jailbreak your device and fake your location that way.
