## React Native Mock Location Detector / Location Spoof Apps Detector

⚠️ A fork of [react-native-mock-location-detector](https://github.com/adkandari/react-native-mock-location-detector) but with fixes.

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

`$ 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')
