GPS Geolocation testing enables you to simulate the location of the device to specific GPS coordinates in order to test location-based scenarios for your app.
To specify the GPS coordinates, set the gpsLocation parameter in the REST API request to start Espresso test execution. You will be required to pass the latitude and longitude of the desired location.
REST API endpoint:
POST /app-automate/espresso/v2/build
| Parameter | Description | Value |
