Human Auth Location

Human Auth: Location

Use this when an app needs the user's real GPS location but the Agent Phone has no real GPS.

When to Trigger

• App requests location permission and shows "location not available" or defaults to wrong location.
• App needs "nearby" results but the emulator has no GPS fix.
• Capability Probe detects location / ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION activity.

How to Call

request_human_auth(
  capability: "location",
  instruction: "Please share your current GPS location for [purpose].",
  uiTemplate: {
    allowLocationAttachment: true,
    requireArtifactOnApprove: true,
    title: "Location Needed",
    summary: "Share your current location coordinates."
  }
)

After You Receive the Artifact

The artifact is a JSON file with lat and lon fields. Read it first: read(<artifact_path>).

On Emulator

1. Inject GPS coordinates:

   shell("adb emu geo fix <lon> <lat>")
   

   Note: geo fix takes longitude first, then latitude.

2. Go back to the app and refresh. The app may need:

   • Pull-to-refresh
   • Tap a "Refresh location" or "Use current location" button
   • Force-stop and relaunch: shell("am force-stop <package>") then launch_app(<package>)

On Real Device

Direct GPS injection is not possible on non-rooted real devices. Instead:

• If the app has a search box or address field, type the coordinates or a nearby address.
• If the app has a map with a pin, try to manually position it.

Tips

• Inject coordinates BEFORE the app requests location for best results.
• Some apps cache location aggressively — force-stop and relaunch if needed.
