Appium - How to set Geo Location on iOS Device?

Question

Meta :-

• iOS emulator device v10.3
• Appium java-client v5.0.0 BETA8
• Selenium v3.4.0

Actually I'm trying to set GeoLocation in iOS device using Appium XCUITest automation. I've tried with below code which is working fine on Android device while throw exception on iOS :

import org.openqa.selenium.html5.Location;

AppiumServiceBuilder builder = new AppiumServiceBuilder().usingAnyFreePort().withAppiumJS("path/to/appium/main.js");

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("automationName", "XCUITest");
IOSDriver driver= new IOSDriver(builder, capabilities);

//Here this code working fine with AndroidDriver
Location location = new Location(latitude, longitude, altitude);    
driver.setLocation(location);

Exception:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Method has not yet been implemented (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

And when I am trying using JavascriptExecutor as :

Map<String, String> args = new HashMap<String, String>();
args.put("address", "Address");
((JavascriptExecutor)webDriver).executeScript("mobile:setLocation", args);

Exception:

org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: Unknown mobile command "setLocation". Only scroll,swipe,pinch,doubleTap,twoFingerTap,touchAndHold,tap,dragFromToForDuration,selectPickerWheelValue,alert commands are supported. (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

And when I am trying as :

import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DriverCommand;

Map<String, String> args = new HashMap<String, String>();
args.put("location", "Address");
driver.execute(DriverCommand.SET_LOCATION, args);

Exception:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Method has not yet been implemented (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

Is there anyway to set GeoLocation on iOS using appium?
