iOSDevice.GPS Property

Applies to TestComplete 15.70, last modified on December 17, 2024
The information below concerns legacy mobile tests that work with mobile devices connected to the local computer. For new mobile tests, we recommend using the newer cloud-compatible approach.

Description

Returns the current location of the mobile device and allows specifying a mock location. See Geolocation Testing (Legacy).

You can access this property on iOS only if a prepared application is running.

Declaration

iOSDevice.GPS

Read-Only Property A iOSGPS object

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

iOSDevice

Property Value

The iOSGPS object that returns the current location of the mobile device and allows specifying a mock location.

Example

The code below retrieves location data from the iOS device's GPS sensor, posts them to the test log and shows the location in Google Maps:
