The Loop app, when open, will be quite aggressive at warning you that you have disabled Notifications, so you can reverse those directions to enable notifications when actually using the app.

Tap on iOS Settings -> Notifications -> Loop.Even if you quit the app, you will get Loop not Looping notifications while the app is on your phone. When you have the Loop app on your phone to test as a simulator, you may want to disable notifications when you are not actively using it. These CGM and pump options work to provide glucose readings or accept pump commands while the app is open, but will not 'wake' the app when in the background or phone is locked: In all other cases, the phone must be open and unlocked for you to test the app. Loop is attached to a pump (Pod or Medtronic) dripping water (instead of being attached to your body).Loop is on on the same phone as a Dexcom CGM and you've added that CGM information to Loop.The app will only work in the background in these special cases: Loop will not work in the background without either a real CGM or a real pump to 'wake' it up. This simulator requires a compatible phone, see Compatible iPhone/iPod Use the simulated iPhone and set up the app as desiredīuild to a Real iPhone ¶ Common Requirements ¶.Complete the Build to a Simulator section.

Select a simulator (not your phone) when told to do so.Choose to Sign Manually in the Signing Targets section.Skip the section on Developer Mode (that is only when building to a phone).Follow Build the Loop App but with the following variation:.Follow Xcode Preferences but can skip the Add Apple ID section.Apple Developer Program (can use a free account).Order a RileyLink (not required for Omnipod DASH).Build pages to review, but complete later.This simulator requires access to a Mac or virtual computer, see Compatible Computer Please, review all the Intro and Build pages, even if you will not complete them yet.

Each of these require less up-front acquisition of hardware and may be desirable as a first step towards becoming a Looper. There are 2 main types of simulators users may want to build.
