set-simulator-location

NOTE: As of Xcode 14 you can use xcrun simctl location to do most of this instead, including setting specific routes. Use that if possible (it does not currently support searching for locations).

This is a simple CLI for easily setting the location of the currently running iOS Simulator.

Usage

Set a specific latitude and longitude:

$ set-simulator-location -c 37.7765 -122.3918

Or using place search:

$ set-simulator-location -q Lyft HQ San Francisco

By default the location is set on all booted simulators. If you’d like to change it for only one of the booted simulators you can pass -s followed by the simulator’s display name:

$ set-simulator-location -q Lyft HQ San Francisco -s iPhone X

NOTE: If you have multiple booted simulators with the same name, the location will be set on all of them.

Installation

With homebrew:

$ brew install lyft/formulae/set-simulator-location

With Mint:

$ mint install lyft/set-simulator-location

With a precompiled release:

1. Download the latest release from here
2. Install it some place in your $PATH

Manually:

$ make install

I have submitted a Radar to have this behavior added to simctl.

Development

To work on set-simulator-location you can make your changes and run make to build from the command line. If you’d prefer to work in Xcode you can run make xcode to generate a project using SwiftPM.
