I am on the latest version of XCode and using iOS 8. I have a scheme with a default location set and it seems to get stuck in the simulated location even on a device. I have tried, setting the location to "None" and unchecking the simulate box, and still on an iPhone 5 it keeps using New York, NY as the simulated location. Curiously, this doesn't happen on the iPhone 6. Any ideas?
Restarting the device seemed to clear this problem.

I am creating an Uber Clone App and I go the location of the simulator which is Apples location, and when I started the simulator the location started moving, as if someone is following a path around Apple. I haven't made it to where it can move, all my code is doing is grabbing the users location. Can anybody explain why this is happening?
The location in the iOS Simulator can move because it is being simulated by software. The iOS Simulator can simulate various locations for testing purposes. The location can be changed manually in the Debug > Location menu or programmatically through code.
If you're experiencing unexpected movement in the location, it's possible that it's being changed by an app or a test that you're running. If that's not the case, then it might be a bug in the iOS Simulator and you can try restarting it or resetting it to its default settings.
I'm trying to simulate a moving location (freeway drive) on the ios simulator, however it simply doesn't work. The only location that works is the static Custom Location... option.
To reproduce the problem:
open up Xcode>open developer tools>simulator,
open up the maps app
set debug>location to "Freeway Drive"
press the location button in the bottom left corner
It loads for a while, then says:
Current Location Not Available
Your current location cannot be determined at this time
When I open up system.log, I see the message:
SimulatorBridge[41185]: Selected location simulation scenario does not exist
I'm using Xcode 7.1.1 and the iPhone 6s / iOS 9.1 simulator. I've tried:
Setting a default location
Resetting the simulator in Simulator>Reset Content and Settings...
Reinstalling the simulator
but nothing seems to work. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
Ok, this may be a problem on Apple's end with Simulator for iOS 9.1.
I downloaded the iOS 9.0 simulator instead (Xcode>Preference>Downloads), fired up Maps in Simulator with the location set to Freeway Drive, and everything works -the location updates.
If you've had trouble simulating a moving location in your own app, just download and use a previous iOS Simulator version like above. Make sure you clean your project in Xcode first (Product>Clean), then rebuild it and everything should work fine.
After I connect my iPhone to XCode it starts showing that I am in center of London, however I am on north of Russia. I remember there was an option for simulating location in iOS simulator on Mac, but nothing like that for devices, so I don't know how to disable it.
Uncheck　"Allow Location Simulation" in scheme setting.
Select "Don't Simulate Location" when run the app.
I have recently started working on IOS app development and was encountering an issue. I have downloaded XCode 6.1.1 and my target SDK is IOS 8.1.
On building and running my application I dont have the mobile/Iphone interface coming up in which I can check my layout how the app will be presented once it is deployed on Iphone. All I get is a rectangular box which is definitely not resizable and I am unable to check my app.
On this rectangular box which is definitely not the one I am expecting, I can see my labels and buttons in a crap state.
I tried changing the SDK version to 7.1, changed the build type from debug to release, change the deployment target to 7.1 also, using Iphone 5S,7.1 simulator also but the issue seems non-resolved.
It looks like you're on 100% zoom, so you should be able to see the full phone by zooming out. In the iOS simulator, in the top bar go to Window->Scale and select 50% or 75%. If the zoom level is the problem, that should fix it. Hope it helps :)
How do I simulate GPS movement on iOS simulator? I am developing an app that uses gps an I need to test it while the user location is changing.. How can I do that? thank you in advance..
From the Features > Location menu of the iOS Simulator, check the Location menu:
Note: The screenshot below is outdated, however the path above has been updated to reflect the proper menu location for this option.
It provides you with several options pertaining to changing the location of the simulated device.
For those that are getting here in 2020, things have changed a little bit,
You'll find the options to modify location settings under Features
