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.

feels to me like FuckyWucky's got the right idea. it would seem to call for a modified wifi driver that can report seeing the SSIDs you tell it, but then you've got the whole problem of knowing what SSIDs are near where you are supposed to be.
