it seems with XCode 9 2 the way to import  gpx has changed  I tried the ways described here and did not do  The only way worked for me was to drag and drop the file  gpx to the project navigator window on the left  Then I can choose the country in the simulator item    Hope this helps to someone

I had a similar issue  but with no source code to run on Xcode   So if you want to test an application on a real device with a fake location you should use a VPN application   There are plenty in the App Store to choose from - free ones without the option to choose a specific country city and free ones which assign you a random location or asks you to choose from a limited set of default options

Working with GPX files with Xcode compatibility   I followed the link given by AlexWien and it was extremely useful  https   blackpixel com writing 2013 05 simulating-locations-with-xcode html  But  I spent quite some time searching for how to generate  gpx files with waypoints  wpt tags   as Xcode only accepts wpt tags   The following tool converts a Google Maps link  also works with Google Maps Directions  to a  gpx file   https   mapstogpx com mobiledev php  Simulating a trip duration is supported  custom durations can be specified  Just select Xcode and it gets the route as waypoints

xCode is picky about the GPX file it accepts    But  in xCode you can create a GPX file with the format it will accept          And then just change the content of the file to the location you need

Create a  GPX file with xcode  then specify your coordinates and when your device connected  hit the little arrow button and select your  GPX file  You can create multiple files and add lots of coordinates to single  GPX file in order to make some kind of route

Of course ios7 prohibits creating fake locations on real device  For testing purpose there are two approches  1  while device is connected to xcode  use the simulator and let it play a gpx track   2  for real world testing  not connected to simu  one possibility is that your app  has a special modus built in  where you set it to  playback  mode  In that mode the app has to create the locations itself  using a timer of 1s  and creating a new CLLocation object   3  A third possibility is described here  https   blackpixel com writing 2013 05 simulating-locations-with-xcode html
