Simulate GPS location for XCUI tests

Simulate GPS location of the device for your XCUI test executions on BrowserStack App Automate. Test your apps on a real device cloud.

GPS Geolocation testing enables you to simulate the location of the device to specific GPS coordinates to test location-based scenarios for your app.

To specify the GPS coordinates, pass the gpsLocation parameter in the REST API request to start XCUI test execution. You will be required to pass the latitude and longitude of the desired location.

REST API endpoint:

POST /app-automate/xcuitest/v2/build

Example cURL request:

curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
-X POST "https://api-cloud.browserstack.com/app-automate/xcuitest/v2/build" \
-d '{"gpsLocation": "40.730610,-73.935242", "devices": ["iPhone 8 Plus-11.0"], "app": "bs://f5L3azt9pLzE995f49376eb1fa3c284dc321f8d", "testSuite": "bs://6eb1fa3c284ddbe9971b2d1aee0d52943b9c081"}' \
