React Native Mock Location Detector / Location Spoof Apps Detector

If you are building a location based app in RN, you have to validate if the user is using location spoofing apps or not. This library doesn't let the user use the app if any mock location apps are active on the device

Getting started

$ npm install react-native-mock-location-detector --save

Mostly automatic installation

$ react-native link react-native-mock-location-detector

Manual installation

Android

1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java

• Add import com.mocklocation.reactnative.RNMockLocationDetectorPackage; to the imports at the top of the file
• Add new RNMockLocationDetectorPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

2. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

   include ':react-native-mock-location-detector'
   project(':react-native-mock-location-detector').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, 	'../node_modules/react-native-mock-location-detector/android')

3. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

     implementation project(':react-native-mock-location-detector')
