You can do it by using the simulator's 'Free Drive' option.

Once you have your code setup for monitoring significant location updates, do the following:

Select your simulator
Select Debug -> Location -> Free Drive
Add a breakpoint to CLLocationManager's didUpdateLocations delegate method to catch updates

You can use something like this https://github.com/futuretap/FTLocationSimulator. Or modify it to better fill your needs.

(I'm one of the authors:) https://github.com/Azoft/FakeGPSUtility - this project can be helpful too.

Select iPhone Simulator--> Select Debug from menu ---> set Location. You can also give custom location by filling longitude and latitude values.

This won't simulate a significant-change event. – AshHimself Nov 23 '16 at 13:46
