in iOS Simulator menu, go to Features -> Location -> Custom Location. There you can set the latitude and longitude and test the app accordingly. This works with mapkit and also with CLLocationManager.
Location simulation is available for iOS and tvOS devices and simulators.
Launch Apple Maps and navigate to the location you'd like to be in. Hit the bottom of the window to get location information, and you should find the Simulate Location feature. Tap to confirm and verify if it works for your other apps.
Click the location on the map you want to simulate, and then press the lowercase L key. A dialog will appear with the message, “Simulated Location Set”. After a short time, the simulated location you set in the Editor will appear as a pink dot in the Android Emulator. Click anywhere on the map, and press Shift+L.
From the Features > Location menu of the iOS Simulator, check the Location menu:
Note: The screenshot below is outdated, however the path above has been updated to reflect the proper menu location for this option.
It provides you with several options pertaining to changing the location of the simulated device.
