CLLocationMiddleManager

CLLocationMiddleManager lets you spoof location information on devices just like the Simulator does.

Simply replace

let locationManager = CLLocationManager()

with

let locationManager = CLLocationMiddleManager(file: "my_gpx_route")

and it should all just work^TM.

Installation

CLLocationMiddleManager is Carthage-compatible.

github "Shrugs/CLLocationMiddleManager" >= 1.0

Ignore the warnings about a directory, not sure what's up with those.

Usage

CLLocationMiddleManager works by interpreting a gpx file that's included in your app's bundle.

1. Go to Google Maps and draw out a route by clicking on the map.
2. Copy the url from Google Maps
3. Go to Coruscant Consulting's website and paste in your Google Maps link
4. Download the resulting GPX file
5. Open that file up in your favorite text editor (or Xcode)
6. Add <time> keys to each wpt.
   • For example, a waypoint should look something like <wpt lat="42.357542" lon="-83.059571"><time>2015-09-13T14:19:35Z</time></wpt>
   • The time is in the format yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ
   • For example, 2015-09-13T14:19:35Z is a valid time
7. Import that GPX file into Xcode by dragging it into your Project pane and making sure to Copy files if needed
8. Add something similar to the following code in your app.

let demoMode = true // this can be a Compiler Flag or anything you want

let locationManager = demoMode ? CLLocationMiddleManager(file: "my_gpx_route") : CLLocationManager()

And tada, you're spoofing location on device. Woo!
