How to solve Xcode 4.1 (LION) GPS error?

Question

My project worked perfectly on simulator+device,
but now, after upgrading to lion os and xcode 4.1, I get this error when gps is active!

server did not accept client registration 68

It's a gps based application, and i'm nervous to not debug app in simulator!

Any idea to solve this issue?

UPDATE: Gps on Simulator doesn't work also on Xcode 3.2.6 + LION.

EDIT: Apple response on bug tracker:

After further investigation it has been determined that this is a known issue, which is currently being investigated by engineering. This issue has been filed in our bug database under the original Bug ID#. Thank you for submitting this bug report. We truly appreciate your assistance in helping us discover and isolate bugs.

Having the same issue, error code and all. Lion seems to have new location services preferences in Security & Privacy settings, under "Privacy" tab, and iOS Simulator doesn't show up in the list of apps at all. There doesn't seem to be a way to manually add it, either. — Tim, Jul 22 '11 at 16:51

Xcode 4.2 solved this problem adding custom gps position!

The file is an XML like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gpx version="1.1" creator="Xcode"> 
  <wpt lat="45,49939" lon="9,12114">
    <name>Milano</name>
  </wpt>
</gpx>

you can add this file in your project or New->File->GPX.

While you're running your app, activate the console and select your custom position file:

enter image description here

it's all.
enjoy.

This only works if you're debugging against iOS 5. If you use the 4.3 simulator, there's no loc icon. – smparkes Nov 19 '11 at 01:01
Wow, i was wondering how to make this file since a long time ago ! – Martin May 21 '12 at 15:01

From the Big Nerd Ranch forum:

@implementation CLLocationManager (TemporaryHack)
- (void)hackLocationFix {
    CLLocation *location = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:42 longitude:-50];
    [[self delegate] locationManager:self didUpdateToLocation:location fromLocation:nil];     
}
- (void)hackHeadingFix {
    [[self delegate] locationManager:self didUpdateHeading:(id)@"That way.."];
}
- (void)startUpdatingLocation {
    [self performSelector:@selector(hackLocationFix) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.1];
}
- (void)startUpdatingHeading {
    [self performSelector:@selector(hackHeadingFix) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.1];
}
@end

As workaround is perfect, but don't resolve apple issue, unfortunately! – elp Aug 31 '11 at 18:27

I encountered the same problem, and searching for a solution, I at least found a workaround: Testing CoreLocation on iPhone Simulator - It doesn't actually make it work, but in my case I just needed a dummy location anyway.

To make it work, just copy linked code into a header file and link that below your

#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>

Like this:

#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>
#import "CoreLocation_Sim.h"

Please see http://pastebin.com/7hvFiXCg for a somewhat souped-up version of the BNR code. It includes CLHeading support, among other adjustments. Enjoy!
