I am planning to make an application where the user can input a address and the location of the device would change. I saw a lots of people changing the location of the simulator but I would like to change the location of the actual device. An example: If I am living in California, I would like to show my device is in New York even the device is still in California but in the GPS it would show as new york.
How could I achieve this functionality using React Native or NodeJS.
Thank you

I'm trying to scan devices on IOS when the app is in background mode. I've learned that I have to tell explicitly what service ID I'm looking for. I was trying with 180F which is the battery service but it didn't find anything. Is it possible at all on IOS? It works well on Android.
I'm using the react-native-ble-manager package.
Can you tell me maybe a common service UUID what every phone advertises?
My aim is to track every contact with phones which are nearby me and it should work when the app is in background mode.
how do I make fake gps with react-native or expo.
Can you give an example. Thank you...
I want the phone location to be shown where I want
You will need another Apple device with the same Apple ID. Then enter Settings > Privacy > Sharing my location and select the second device.
Remember when you do it, the GPS location of the selected device will be used in a geographical location and should always be turned on!
In this case, only the location of the second device, the fake position, can be selected.

Restart your emulator.

I have a requirement to save user's geolocation when react-native app is running in background. I know react-native-background-geolocation is available for this but I don't want to use any third party tool for this. Is there a way I can fetch users current location even if the app is running in the background?
With the last Expo SDK 32 you should be able to to it.
We’re excited to announce that this release includes initial support for background location, a highly requested feature from many Expo users. You can now define simple JavaScript tasks in your app and register them to receive location updates in the background. Additionally, you can set up geofencing tasks that are triggered when the device enters or leaves specific geographic regions
I am building some software that requires me to display the icons of different apps, and possible save them on a database so I can look it up on demand?
I know you can get the url scheme but is that all you can do with it ? Or is there a way to get the app icons ?
For instance is there a way to get the icon of angry birds via an API call to the IOS system ?
In a non-jailbroken iPhone, you cannot get it from the OS.
You need to query the iTunes service from Apple to get this info ex:

For a GPS application,
1) If say the GPS application is used inside a building, I would like to know how to define or create the map ourself ? Usually the map is provided by the vendor and the map is showing the roads(big scale) if compare to inside a building(small scale).
2) How do I map the position that return by the GPS receiver into my own created map?
Is there any open source framework available for GPS application that running from the mobile phone?
A GPS doesn't work inside a building.
But this is perhaps a place to start if you want to work with gps and windows mobile.
