Xamarin - Fake Geolocation
I want to make an app for Xamarin.Forms (mainly iOS) which will fake a Geolocation to the Device so all apps will get a wrong location. I know that this is possible using the simulator but I wonder if this is also possible using a real device and also without being connected to a Mac.
Does anyone know how to do that or is there a library which handles that?

If you do want to get error Geolocation Info , you can handle them after getting the correct latitude and longitude, such as increasing or decreasing fixed values.

Have you got any code as an example? Cause withXam.Plugin.Geolocatorthe values you get are all readonly

I don't think this is possible on iOS. At least, there are ways, but you will probably never be able to release it to the App Store. On Android, it might be a bit easier, but you will pretty much hit the same limitations at some point there.

There is no need for me to release it in AppStore. I is enough to have that app running without beeing connected to the Mac

There are different ways how the ios device locate coordinates.
- GPS
- Wi-fi
- Cellurar
- Bluetooth
You could try to take IP address from different place (vpn). But unfortunately (for you) it will not change it for other apps , just maybe for some web-applications location.
The simulation of location was made just for testing purpose.
I have no idea how you want to handle your task without jailbreak iOS device.
