Failed to retrieve response after attempting to enable developer mode toggle.
I am trying v1.7.0 on MacOS Ventura 13.5.1 with an iPhone 13 running iOS 16.6, if I choose location on the map, ensure my phone is selected in the combo box and click Set Fake Location I get "Failed to retrieve response after attempting to enable developer mode toggle."
Has developer mode already been enabled on your iPhone?
Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down to the Developer Mode.
Thanks for the quick response, I didn't have developer mode already on, but when I toggled it to on (with iFakeLocation still connected), after the phone reset (to enable developer mode) it worked.
I can consistently reproduce this, both in v1.7.0 release and latest source running in Visual Studio for Mac v17.6.3. This is the workflow that appears to work for me:
- Ensure Developer mode toggle is off on phone
- Connect phone to Mac
- Open iPhoneLocation
- Click Refresh to populate combo box with phone
- Set a location on map and click "Set Fake Location"
- Get "Failed to retrieve response after attempting to enable developer mode toggle." error.
- Close error dialog
- On phone, enable Developer mode toggle, phone restarts.
- After restart, phone prompts if I want to enable Developer mode, select "Turn on".
- Back on iFakeLocation, set a location on the map and click "Set Fake Location".
- It now works.
Has anyone else encountered this? It's nice to have a work around but it does seem like a bit of a faff. I'm a .net dev so happy to help if you point me in the right direction of where I should be looking in the debugger.
To add to this, if I then close iPhoneLocation and leave everything else as is (phone connected, developer mode toggle on etc) then I get an error of "Mount failed with status: N/A and error: ImageMountFailed" if I open iPhoneLocation again, select the phone and try to set a new fake location, (steps 3-5 above)
