I have an app for work that uses wifi scanning to track my location. It basically wants a location update every hour so it can geotag my location. If the data is too far apart between where I am and where I'm supposed to be, it creates a red flag.
Ive deduced its because of wifi scanning. Tried a GPS spoof which seemed to work once I turned off wifi and wifi scanning.
But now if I disable wifi scanning, the app insists I turn it back on and it refuses to work. Any feasible workarounds for this? Android device.
If you control the device and can root it, you can definitely fake the connected wifi SSID, the list of available ones, whether you are in fact using Wi-Fi etc with Xposed but it'll probably take research into the current landscape that I'm no longer familiar with. There is no perfect software method on unrooted Android for fake GPS, depending on how motivated the app dev was at detecting it.
I've got one of those hardware GPS spoofers that attaches to the handset, basically jams GPS and impersonates the satellites. Works well. I don't know of a comparable piece of hardware that would both jam wifi for a handset and present a fake SSID unfortunately.
If you can leave the handset in one place you could also remote into it, software like DroidVNC-NG can let you access it from another handset.
