Appium should be able to turn location services on/off

[jlipps]

Probably possible with some crazy plist hacking?

+1 Would love this - Is this a possible solution? https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/appium-discuss/k5gbfVFRPsE

Yes. All we need to do is figure out what change it makes in the app's plist when you turn location services off/on. Then we can make the appropriate change for an app that appium automates. Seems like it requires quitting and restarting the sim though.

More info from appium-discuss:

• Location of plist to create/modify: Users/your_user/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.0(or yours)/Library/Caches/locationd/clients.plist

We can suppress the popup manually to see what changes are made in this plist.

I think this is supported now?

[jlipps]

yes!
