iOS issue using Accelerometer - Feature Not Supported

Question

The Xamarin Essentials accelerometer setting here works fine on Android and is published. It also work fine deployed directly to my iPhone 11, but doesn't work on two tested simulators:

        protected override async void OnAppearing()  
        {  
            Accelerometer.ShakeDetected += this.OnShaked;  
            Accelerometer.Start(SensorSpeed.Default);  
  
            base.OnAppearing();  
            await fvm.GetFarts();  
            FartListView.ItemsSource = fvm.FartList;  
        }  

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

You can't test it using simulator, you should use real device for testing accelerometer.

Here is Apple's document about testing on the iOS Simulator.
