While performing app automation testing with appium on LambdaTest Grid, you may face a scenario where you would like to simulate location of a specific country. You can easily do that by using the lambdatest capability "GeoLocation" and refer the 2-letter country code in the automation script. You can refer to sample test repohere.

The following is an example on how to set geoLocation in the capabilities.

importio.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver;importorg.testng.annotations.Test;importorg.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;importio.appium.java_client.MobileElement;importjava.net.URL;publicclassAndroidApp {StringuserName =System.getenv("LT_USERNAME") ==null ?"username" :System.getenv("LT_USERNAME");//Enter your username hereStringaccessKey =System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY") ==null ?"accessKey" :System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY");//Enter your accessKey herepublicStringgridURL ="@mobile-hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub";AppiumDriverdriver;@Test@org.testng.annotations.Parameters(value = {"device","version","platform"})publicvoidAndroidApp1() {try {DesiredCapabilitiescapabilities =newDesiredCapabilities();capabilities.setCapability("build","Enter_your_build_name");//Enter your build name herecapabilities.setCapability("name","Enter_your_test_name");//Enter your test name herecapabilities.setCapability("deviceName","Galaxy S21 5G");capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion","12");capabilities.setCapability("platformName","Android");capabilities.setCapability("isRealMobile",true);capabilities.setCapability("app","lt://");//Enter your app url here//ADD GEOLOCATION BASED ON COUNTRY CODEcapabilities.setCapability("geoLocation","fr");Stringhub ="https://" +userName +":" +accessKey +gridURL;driver =newAppiumDriver(newURL(hub),capabilities);MobileElementcolor = (MobileElement)driver.findElementById("com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/color");color.click();MobileElementtext = (MobileElement)driver.findElementById("com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/Text");text.click();MobileElementtoast = (MobileElement)driver.findElementById("com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/toast");toast.click();MobileElementnotification = (MobileElement)driver.findElementById("com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/notification");notification.click();Thread.sleep(2000);driver.quit();        }catch (Exceptione) {e.printStackTrace();driver.quit();            }        }     }

mvn clean install -DsuiteXmlFile=src/test/java/Android.xml

Your test results would be displayed on the test console (or command-line interface if you are using terminal/cmd) and on theLambdaTest App Automation Dashboard.
