Icons and widgets positions can change when a new device or iOS version is released.
That's life!
If you think that your device is not correctly supported, you can send me some data so I can update iEmpty for it and make it ready to generate accurate empty icons and widgets.
For that, you'll have to send me several screenshots of your home screen with app icons and widgets everywhere on it, so I can measure precisely their positions.
⚠️ Please DO NOT send me data if everything works fine! 🙏🏻
Do it ONLY if your device is not supported or if you have misaligned icons problems.

Read and follow CAREFULLY EACH procedure below:
Informations
Give me your EXACT device model and iOS version.
Settings > General > About
Prerequisites
Ensure that you fit the prerequisites, especially that you turned OFF the « perspective mode ».
Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce motion > On
Email sending
Send me ALL the screenshots you take by email, in their original FULL size (without any resize or modification).
If it is too big to attach them in the email, send a link to a file sharing system like iCloud Drive or Google Drive, or use the iOS Mail Drop feature.
Put application icons EVERYWHERE on the homescreen grid (one icon on EACH column and EACH row, including the dock).
This way I can measure precisely EACH possible icon position on the homescreen grid.
Take several screenshots of your homescreen, one for each possible orientations and layouts available for your device (details below).
For iPhone & iPod Touch
Depending you device and iOS version, some options will be available or not.
