2. Use Xcode to Play Pokémon GO on macOS for iOS Device

Xcode is an integrated software development environment for macOS devices that contain various software development tools.

And that is why we are here with this guide. To use Xcode effectively on your MacOs while playing Pokémon GO, follow through the following steps:

Step 1. Download and install the Xcode app on your Mac computer.

The Limitations of Xcode Location Spoofing

  • It is not designed specifically for faking GPS, hence it lacks functions such as faking GPS walking, joystick feature, selecting a location from map, and so on.
  • It isn't available for Windows computers and only accessible for Mac computers.
  • It's difficult to utilize.

3. Use iTools PC Spoofing for iOS

iTools is also a desktop GPS spoofing software designed for iOS devices running iOS 12 or above. It allows users to change their iPhones' location from computer, eliminating the need to travel to catch and collect Pokémon. With iTools, users can customize their walking speeds, save favorite locations, and avoid importing or modifying any application or game data.

How to Use iTools

iTools is a user-friendly software for iOS devices that allows you to spoof locations in Pokemon GO. Here is a quick guide on how to use it:

Step 1: Connect your iOS device to your PC using a USB cable and open iTools.

Step 2: From the iTools home screen, select "Toolbox", then choose "Virtual Location". A map will appear showing your current location.

Step 3: Choose your desired location either by directly clicking on the map or typing the location in the search bar. Click "Move here" to change your location.

How to Use iTools

That's it! You've successfully set up your virtual location in iTools. When you open Pokemon GO, you'll be able to play the game as if you were physically in the location you've chosen.

The Limitations of iTools Spoofing

Although iTools is a widely used spoofing software for Pokémon GO, it does come with some limitations and weaknesses that users should be aware of:

  • iTools is a comprehensive management tool for ios devices, not a tool for changing iphone's GPS. Therefore, it is similar to xcode, lacking richer functions such as importing GPX, changing the location of multiple devices at the same time, etc.
  • Some users have reported issues with iTools virtual location not working properly, which is a common error that occurs while playing Pokémon GO.
  • Its basic entrance fee is quite expensive, starting at $34.95. MockGo, on the other hand, prvoides a starting price of $9.95.

4. Use BlueStacks to Play Pokémon GO on PC for Android Device

Would you like to enjoy Pokémon GO on your Windows PC? The truth is, this can be easier than you thought. To achieve this, you will need an Android to Windows emulator.

BlueStacks is an Android emulator that essentially allows you to run Android apps on your PC or Mac.

To use it, you will need to first install Bluestacks on your computer. You can then use it to access and use any of the apps on your Android device.

But while you can use Bluestacks to access and use your apps on a PC or Mac, the GPS spoofing component of the program is no longer working.

To use it to spoof your location and therefore play a game like Pokémon Go, you will need to install another GPS spoofing apps such as PGSharp on Bluestacks.

With these two tools combined, you will be able to spoof your location and play Pokémon Go without your Android device.

But PGSharp Pokémon Go is only compatible with Android devices, meaning that this may not be the best way to spoof Pokémon Go location for iOS users.

When used correctly, Bluestacks can allow you to play Pokémon Go on your PC.

When you combine this with a spoofing app, you can play the game on your PC without having to move around and therefore progress through the levels much faster.

Step 1. Install BlueStacks:

You should first download and install Bluestack. At this point, it is also important that you set up a Google account.

 Install BlueStacks

Step 2. Install and Run KingRoot:

To install KingRoot successfully, open BlueStack on your PC and click the APK symbol.

Open the APK file on your PC and allow KingRoot to install automatically. After installing kingRoot, run it and then click try it. Finally, click on Fix Now.

Install and Run KingRoot

Once you see the security index, select optimize now and then close KingRoot.

select optimize

Step 3. Restart BlueStack:

Check the top-right corner on Bluestack and click the cogwheel. From the options, choose Android Plugin.

The process restarts the BlueStack application player. You should remember this procedure as you will need it later on.

 Restart BlueStack

Step 4. Copy Files from Windows:

To achieve this, select the folder icon from BlueStack and then open FakeGPS. Everything will be copied automatically on Bluestack.

Step 5. Install and Run Lucky Patcher:

This process is just the same as the one for installing and running KingRoot.

However, you will need to grant the application access by clicking allow when you open it for the first time.

Once inside the Lucky Patcher application, head to 'Rebuild & install' and then go to 'sdcard> Windows> BstSharedFolder'.

Choose the 'APK file for FakeGPS' and install it as a system application.

Install and Run Lucky Patcher

Step 6. Install Pokémon GO:

Just like Lucky Patcher and KingRoot, install the APK that you downloaded previously. You shouldn't launch the application just yet, because it won't function well.

Step 7. Check Location Settings:

Click the cogwheel from Bluestack and select settings. Head to location and ensure that the mode is 'High accuracy'.

You should disable any other GPS service on Windows to prevent it from messing with BlueStacks.

Check Location Settings

Step 8. Set up FakeGPS:

FakeGPS is on the list of applications in Lucky Patcher. If you don't find it here, head to 'search', select 'filters', check 'System Apps', and then click 'Apply'.

From the list that comes up, click FakeGPS, and then select Launch App. Read through the instructions and click ok.

You can also choose other Fake GPS apps you would like to use such as PGSharp.

 Set up FakeGPS

At the top-right corner, click the 'three-dotted button', head to Settings, and then select the 'Expert Mode'.

Go back to the map and choose your preferred location. Click on the 'Play' option to engage your fake location.

Go back to the map

Step 9. Play Pokémon GO:

Finally, it is time to play and enjoy Pokémon GO. The game is set just like you would on an iOS or Android device.

Logging in using Google will allow the application to load any previous Pokémon GO account set up.

After fully launching the game, you will find yourself using a fake GPS location that you set earlier.

Common Issues When Playing Pokémon Go with BlueStacks

When using BlueStacks to spoof GPS in Pokemon Go, there are some common problems that users may encounter. Here are the solutions to those problems:

  • BlueStacks authentication failure: The GPS spoofing feature may not work on the latest version of BlueStacks, resulting in an "Unable to Authenticate" error. To fix this, try running the GPS spoofing feature on an older version of BlueStacks.
  • Pokemon Go may not work on BlueStacks: Niantic has updated the game's security, making it incompatible with BlueStacks at times. In this case, it's recommended to spoof the location without BlueStacks. The next section will detail how to play Pokemon Go without BlueStacks.
  • Risk of account suspension: While GPS spoofing with BlueStacks is possible, it's important to note that Niantic does not permit it. Frequent use of GPS spoofing can result in a suspended Pokemon Go account. Use GPS spoofing only when necessary to avoid suspension.

Conclusion

Spoofing Pokémon GO on your PC can be very easy and straightforward if you choose the right approach and follow the steps keenly.

For your case, we recommend that you use any of the three options we suggested. We hope you get what you are looking for and have a wonderful playing experience on Pokémon GO.
