Introduction

iOS 17 brought some challenges with allowing us to simulate the location on iOS devices. The folks behind pymobiledevice3 have provided a way to workaround the new limitations.

This script is to make the steps more accessible to everyone! :)

This script is focused on accessing the best fuel prices across Australia

Caveats

This is only for MacOS!
"It works on my machine" - best efforts are made to be system agnostic
sudo / root is required for pymobiledevice3 to run some of the elevated com

I would recommend running all of this in a python virtualenv, but that is out of scope of this script as this has been an attempt to provide a "one size fits all" approach

Prerequisite - python

If you already have python installed, yay! If not please install python. A suggestion is to use homebrew

Prerequisite - jq

jq is required to extract key/values from the json API response data. A suggestion is to use homebrew

Install python using homebrew:
