App that required GPS rejected due to Versa support

Hi!
First off I'm so glad that you all provided us with the Simulator that has both the Versa and Ionic. Very much appreciated. Though there does not seem to be a straight-forward way to test gps functionality via the simulator and I am therefore constrained by testing our a real device. Unfortunately I do not have a fitbit versa to test with. What I do have is two Ionics, once presented to me for being a winner in the made4fitbit app challenge. This second Ionic is still in it's original box. Would there be a way to trade that in for a Versa so I can test on both devices? Otherwise I'm not sure how I can test any location based features... which is pretty much my entire app.

 

Thanks!

You can use the GPS from the companion or you can use dummy gps data to test the app. The Simulator has a default location from what I know. I don't think you need a Versa to test the gps.
