Set location command

Sets the device location. This enables testing a location-aware app that uses location services without moving the device from place to place to generate location data.

To learn more about location injection, including requirements and limitations, see Location injection overview.

Tip: To obtain Google coordinates for an address, use Google Maps.

Troubleshooting

If the Set location command does not work:

Confirm that the Reset Location parameter is set to false.
Open, close, and reopen the application in which the location is set.

Caution: On iOS devices, do not click the Reset Location & Privacy, or the device will become unavailable until addressed by the Perfecto device team.

Android Troubleshooting

Verify the following settings in the device:

Allow mock locations: Go to Settings > Developer options > Allow mock locations.
High accuracy: Go to Setting > Location > Mode > High accuracy.
