Hi, I am sorry I am not maintaining this library from quite sometime now. You can check a new fork of this one https://github.com/jpudysz/react-native-turbo-mock-location-detector, looks like it is maintained regularly. Thanks to https://github.com/jpudysz

React Native Mock Location Detector / Location Spoof Apps Detector

⚠️ A fork of 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
