CLI for setting location in the iOS simulator
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.
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.
With homebrew
:
$ brew install lyft/formulae/set-simulator-location
With Mint
:
$ mint install lyft/set-simulator-location
With a precompiled release:
$PATH
Manually:
$ make install
I have submitted a Radar to have
this behavior added to simctl
.
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.
