Many region-aware apps (e.g., Jodel, X/Twitter) customize their content feeds or functionality based on the device's reported GPS location.

It would be extremely useful if LiveContainer could support per-container location mocking — either via a static user-defined location or an override mechanism.

use cases:

Viewing Jodel posts from different cities to track hyperlocal conversations
Monitoring location-tagged trends on X/Twitter (e.g. home country and current country)
Accessing geographically limited features while traveling
Enhancing user privacy

Ideally, this could be achieved by intercepting calls to CLLocationManager and returning spoofed coordinates from container-specific settings. Even a basic implementation (static spoofed lat/lon per container) would be incredibly useful.

Thanks for considering!
