specific way to trigger a significant location change event with simulator?

Question

Im debugging an app that makes use of significant location change events.

With recent xcode updates, the normal method of "change the location to a custom location" does not work. Instead, you have to toggle back and forth between a movement setting and None until it starts working -- then from there, only in setting it on a movement setting will it trigger a new location change event.

This is a well-known bug that is active on the developer support forums at apple.

It leads to the question -- is there any other way of doing this?

So , the problem for me was that the simulator is kinda buggy. Close the debugging execution, kill the simulator processes from the commandline, and then restart debugging.
