FAQ

A few things worth knowing.

Do I need to jailbreak or install an iPhone app?

No. iHopGo connects from your Mac with Developer Mode enabled on the iPhone.

Is every iPhone and iOS version supported?

No. The current beta targets Apple Silicon Macs with iOS 16 or iOS 17.4+; iOS 17.0–17.3 is not supported. Coverage varies by device and OS version, so confirm your setup during Beta. An internet connection is required if developer image preparation is needed on iOS 17.4+.

Does the simulated location remain after quitting?

It can. Clear the simulated location in the app before quitting; reconnect the same device if you need to clear it later.

What is allowed?

Use it for development, QA, and devices you are authorized to test. You remain responsible for third-party terms and local law. Terms of Service.

How do cancellation and refunds work?

Cancel renewal in your Patreon membership settings; access continues through the paid period. iHopGo offers the 14-day first-purchase refund window: contact support to request it. A refund and cancellation are separate actions. Full policy.

What do I do after paying?

Return to the app account page, link and confirm the Patreon account used for payment, then refresh membership. Keep using the same product account. To join the community, connect Discord in Patreon Settings → Connected apps and join iHopGo. Joining the server alone does not activate app access. Contact support to change devices.
