How to change IP geolocation in Real Devices with Appium PHP on LambdaTest cloud?

Hi Rebecca,

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 repo.

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

```
php
    require __dir__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
    use Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\DesiredCapabilities;
    use Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver;
    use Facebook\WebDriver\WebDriverBy;

    $caps = array(
        "app"=>"lt://", //Enter app_url here
        "deviceName" => "Galaxy S20",
        "platformName" => "Android",
        "platformVersion" => "10",
        "isRealMobile" => TRUE,
        "visual" => TRUE,
        "video" => TRUE,
        "name" => "Php - Android test",
        "build" => "Php Vanilla - Android",

        //ADD GEOLOCATION BASED ON COUNTRY CODE
        "geoLocation" => "fr" 

    );

    $username = getenv("LT_USERNAME") ? getenv("LT_USERNAME") : "username"; //Enter username here
    $accesskey = getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY") ? getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY") : "accesskey"; //Enter accesskey here

    $driver = RemoteWebDriver::create("https://$username:$accesskey@mobile-hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub",$caps);

 try{
    $color_element = $driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::id('color'));
    $color_element->click();

    $text_element = $driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::id('Text'));
    $text_element->click();

    $toast_element = $driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::id('toast'));
    $toast_element->click();

    $notification_element = $driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::id('notification'));
    $notification_element->click();
    $driver->quit();

 } finally {
    $driver->quit();
 }

```
