I get the following message, when trying to set the location on a simulator running 12.1 using xcode 10.1 on macOS 10.14.

set-simulator-location -c 40.741 -73.989

No simulators are currently booted

Issuing a xcrun simctl list -j devices command returns the following, only one device is booted.

  "devices" : {
    "iOS 12.1" : [
      {
        "availability" : "(available)",
        "state" : "Booted",
        "isAvailable" : true,
        "name" : "iPhone 5s",
        ...```

I had install HomeBrew and in currently in project directory. After run set-simulator-location -c 37.7765 -122.3918 command i got error

xcrun: error: unable to find utility "simctl", not a developer tool or in PATH

Running simctl list failed

Would it be possible to set altitude as well as coordinate?

Replace parameter logic to accept three parameters and return CLLocationCoordinate3D instead of CLLocationCoordinate2D. https://github.com/lyft/set-simulator-location/blob/master/sources/coordinate.swift#L14

It is either outdated or was modified. Please update your CLT or delete it if no updates are available. Update them from Software Update in System Preferences or run: softwareupdate --all --install --force

If that doesn't show you an update run: sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools sudo xcode-select --install

Alternatively, manually download them from: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/.

With the large number of simulator changes in Xcode 9 came a change where the notification we're hijacking needs to send along the UDIDs of the simulators where the change should take effect. This is because you can have multiple running simulators with different locations.

To do this, for now, we're just reading the output of simctl list and sending all booted UDIDs along.

It would be nice to have the option to look up the simulator by its UDID so we can automatically select the right simulator from the build scripts by using ${TARGET_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER}.

Something like: "Usage: set-simulator-location [-c 0 0|-q San Francisco] [-s Simulator Name|-d Simulator UDID]"

Fixes an issue where set-simulator-location was failing to initialize its list of Simulators due to non-string values output by the newer version of xcrun shipped with Xcode 10.1. Also updates MapKit references for Swift 4.2.

Logic is done, but I guess I am sending altitude with wrong parameter

let userInfo: [AnyHashable: Any] = [
        "simulateLocationLatitude": location.coordinate.latitude,
        "simulateLocationLongitude": location.coordinate.longitude,
        "simulateLocationAltitude": location.altitude, // THIS line is I guess wrong
        "simulateLocationDevices": simulators,
    ]

https://github.com/RobertSasak/set-simulator-location/blob/master/sources/notification.swift#L10

This allows you to pass a -s argument followed by the simulator's display name in order to set the location of a single simulator, instead of all booted simulators.

When there are no locations found for a query, MapKit returns a NSError instead of an empty array. This resulted in us printing a opaque error. Now we'll do that last, only if there is an error, but we also found a place.

Here's an example of a query that currently fails:

I'm trying to use set-simulator-location for testing behaviour on CI using Detox. It works fine when running locally, but does not work at all when running on Github Actions CI.

Has anyone encountered this? Is it a known limitation or is there some build configuration that is necessary to enable location setting on CI servers?

Hi, first of all, thanks for open-sourcing this tool. It has saved me lots of time.

I created a front-end for it so people can simulate dynamic trips. Demo is available here.

Hope it helps.

I made a small bash-script (with my very limited knowledge) to simulate a track based on a GEOjson object. Don't know if this belongs in this repo, but maybe it's relevant for others coming here:

Track.json (uses all elements in coordinates):

{
  "track": {
    "coordinates": [
      [10.762656440290426, 60.00290862625803],
      [10.762708634492366, 60.00293005616841],
      [10.762640254374531, 60.002963109255965],
      [10.762610401710422, 60.00300239554637]
    ]
  }
}

SimulateTrack.sh (also requires jq)

#!/bin/bash

# Pass interval as parameter
interval=$1

for k in $(jq '.track.coordinates | keys | .[]' Track.json); do
  lon=$(jq -r ".track.coordinates[$k][0]" Track.json);
  lat=$(jq -r ".track.coordinates[$k][1]" Track.json);
  set-simulator-location -c $lat $lon
  sleep "$interval"
done

Usage: Update location every second: ./SimulateTrip.sh 1

Update location every 5 seconds:
./SimulateTrip.sh 5

Thanks for the fantastic tool, it made my workflow a lot easier! 💯

I'm working on an app that uses location a lot, but I also need to support cases where location is turned off, or where it fails for some reason.

Would it be possible to extend the CLI to support unset/delete the location? set-simulator-location -d or something?
