Summary
This pull request adds fake GPS (mock location) detection support by exposing whether a location was simulated by software.
A new mocked field is added to the location object, using the native
sourceInformation.isSimulatedBySoftwareflag when available, with a safe fallback to false for compatibility with older iOS versions.This allows applications using
react-native-geolocation-serviceto reliably detect mocked locations and apply additional validation or security rules when needed.Test Plan
Tested on iOS device/emulator with:
Mock location app enabled → mocked returns true
Real GPS location → mocked returns false
Verified backward compatibility on devices where sourceInformation is not available
Confirmed no breaking changes to the existing location API
Ensured the new field is optional and safely defaults to false
