What Fake GPS is for
Fake GPS replaces the phone's real location with coordinates you choose. It is built for developers and testers who need an app to behave as if the device were somewhere else, without waiting for a GPS signal.
The listing points to apps that track location information as the main use. Testing a delivery, ride or check-in app from a desk is the kind of job it is described for.
Setting a phone location in one click
Inside the app, a single click sets the phone to a chosen location anywhere in the world. Other apps on the phone then read that position as if it came from the device's own location system.
Because the position is set in software, no satellite fix is needed. A tester can move the device to a city, a border crossing or a remote coordinate in seconds.
Controlling the fake location over adb
The listing gives three adb shell commands for the Android debug bridge on a computer. One starts a fake location using a latitude and longitude pair, one changes the coordinates while it is running, and one stops it.
This lets a developer script location changes during an automated test instead of tapping through the app each time. The example commands use decimal coordinates such as 11.11 and 32.21.
Setup order and leftover locations
Before Fake GPS works, the phone's Development settings need Allow Mock Locations turned on. The developer also says to run Fake GPS before launching the app being tested.
The listing recommends setting location mode to GPS Only, or turning Location Services off, so the phone does not keep receiving cached mock locations after Fake GPS stops. If that happens, the help section inside the app covers it, and the developer invites bug reports through a contact route.
