Two apps, one workflow

Choose it. Spoof it.

LocationSimulator

Choose a device, location, or route.

LocationSpoofer

Applies it while both apps are running.

Get started

From cable to test route.

Physical device setup

Before the first connection.

Pair over USB first

Connect and unlock the device, accept its trust prompt, then pair it. A Wi-Fi connection only works after the Mac has a saved pairing record for that device.

Enable Developer Mode

iOS 16 and later require Developer Mode. The option should appear in Settings after the first preparation attempt shows the warning. You can also open the device information view with the information button beside the device. From Device Setup, ask LocationSimulator to reveal the setting, then follow the restart and confirmation prompts.

Basic use

Start spoofing.

1
Select a target
Run both apps, then choose a connected physical device or running iOS Simulator from the sidebar.
2
Set the first location
Long-click a point on the map. The selected device immediately begins reporting that coordinate.
3
Move or navigate
Choose Walk, Cycle, Drive, or a custom speed. Use the direction control or arrow keys, or long-click another point and choose Navigate Here.
4
Stop spoofing
Use Reset Location when the test is finished to return control to the device's normal location services.

AppleScript

Automate a full test drive.

Calculate a route, move to its start, drive to the destination, wait for arrival, then reset the device.
