- iOS simulator has inbuilt dynamic location tracking debugging mode
- Go to
Debug > Location > Freeway Drive
- Android emulators doesn't have any in built feature to test the dynamic location changes
- You can use 3rd party apps to mock gps location apps. GPS Joystick was working fine for me
- If this repo is not working for you, I would suggest that you create your own react-native project
- Install react-native-maps using their installation guide
- Replace its App.js with this project's App.js
- Create new Google Maps API keys
- Go to https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/get-api-key and https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/signup to get your keys for both iOS and Android.
- Replace them at their respective places
- Try giving it the location permission manually to the app by going to the device setting
If this project helped you reduce time to develop, please consider buying me a cup of coffee :)
