          On Android you just turn on Mock locations in Dev settings and download a location spoofer, no?
          Or are they too smart for this unrooted?

          • pichxlonco on 27/08/2021 - 13:06

            @MahyarJ: Hasn’t worked for a couple years now, they cracked down on it. Only available if you root or if you have an iPhone. There’s a full thread on it all in discussion section.

              @sweetchilli: How interesting that iPhone could do something that Android could not, especially in the 'hacking' sort of sense. One would think that it is the other way around as iPhone has always been portraited to be more restrictive.

              • Juggernauto on 27/08/2021 - 14:33

                @wildstone: Perhaps precisely because they're more restrictive, they don't allow 7-Eleven app to snoop around and determine if location is legit or simulated?

                Android has something called SafetyNet test which detects whether a phone has been rooted, and also there is code for 7/11 to check for whether the app signature has changed (which is hard to spoof).

                The only way to change location for android is to mask the root and present the mock location as native location.

                In the past, Freighter and Master131 managed to mod the 7/11 apks to switch all the Mock Location Detection values from TRUE to FALSE.

                In a way, you can call the iPhone 7/11 app less secure than the Android counterpart in this sense.

                Good point, so 7-11 devs beaten FakeLocation devs?

                No, the technique used to change the location for the purpose of 7/11 are different for iPhone and Android

                A prepared, rooted android does not require a computer to assist at all, though with a python script by Freighter, you could do this too, which is what I've deployed on my remote chopper machines

                iFakeLocation/3utools requires an iPhone attached to a computer.

                  @cwongtech: Does freighter's python script still work? I thought it was no longer maintained.

                    @Trojan:

                    Does freighter's python script still work? I thought it was no longer maintained.

                    Freighter had a private python script (using the Frida module) that sent the location through to your rooted android phone (potentially bypassing the need for Smali patcher), so you still need a computer to assist a rooted phone.
                    At that point you might as well just manually set the GPS location on your android phone.

                    The only purpose I can find a use for it is when you want to set a computer button (as per my kiosk) to set the coordinates manually.

                    The public python script that set up a web interface is not the same python script I refer to

        you would need a rooted phone.

        but most payment apps nowadays will refuse to work on rooted phones, so that's a huge inconvenience. i keep around a very old spare rooted phone for this.

        • azukay on 27/08/2021 - 13:08

          But not every old spare phone as it has to run android 9 or have a rom available like lineageos etc.

          Old nexus or pixel phones are great as they all have lineageos for them.

          • cwongtech on 27/08/2021 - 15:25

            Pixel 2 (Walleye)
            Samsung A20 (A205YN, VAP & XSA)
            Nexus 6P (angler)

        • deepakkumar1983 on 27/08/2021 - 15:59

          Lol! That what I call a pyrrhic victory. The tool to enable saving is expensive than the saving itself. If you sell off the old phone you will probably have couple of years saving at once:)
