We need to do two steps:

Step 1: Give a permission in Android Manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION"></uses-permission>

Step 2: In your real device,

Go to Setting --> Developer option --> Mock location app option and select your app for testing.

Mock location works fine... :)

Thanks,

I mean in the emulator, it still gave an error. I fixed it with running this lines in the terminal: "cd %LocalAppData%\Android\Sdk\platform-tools" and "adb shell appops set android:mock_location allow" – Ronen Festinger Apr 30 '22 at 22:54
