I am making an app that using CLLocationManager, this app will be used to record the attendee of the employee. to validate the attendee of the employees, we will get GPS Coordinate.
as far as I know, in there is an app that usually used to get fake GPS. I want to prevent this mock GPS to be active when the user using my app.
If I am using Android, I can download a fake GPS app. and when let say I use tinder I can fake my location. let say actually I am in Bangkok, but because I use fake GPS app, I can set my tinder location to be in London, not in Bangkok anymore.
So Basically I want to prevent fake location that comes from that fake GPS when the user using my App. To be honest I don't really know whether iOS allow fake location or not
can I get that function in Swift?
here is the class LocationManager I use to get the coordinate
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
class LocationManager: NSObject {
let manager = CLLocationManager()
var didGetLocation: ((Coordinate?) -> Void)?
override init() {
super.init()
manager.delegate = self
manager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
manager.requestLocation()
}
func getPermission() {
// to ask permission to the user by showing an alert (the alert message is available on info.plist)
if CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus() == .notDetermined {
manager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
}
}
}
extension LocationManager : CLLocationManagerDelegate {
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorization status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
if status == .authorizedWhenInUse {
manager.requestLocation()
}
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: Error) {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
guard let location = locations.first else {
didGetLocation?(nil)
return
}
let coordinate = Coordinate(location: location)
if let didGetLocation = didGetLocation {
didGetLocation(coordinate)
}
}
}
private extension Coordinate {
init(location: CLLocation) {
latitude = location.coordinate.latitude
longitude = location.coordinate.longitude
}
}
