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.

USB to ethernet adapter maybe? you can check if its really wifi by putting it in a metal box to block wifi.

maybe im overthinking it, there might be an easier way.

android emulators (Ldplayer and all) have fake wifi networks maybe try on that
