I have used the api isSimulatedBySoftware provided by apple. Its available from iOS 15 onwards.

if #available(iOS 15.0, *) {

                    // use UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout

                    let isLocationSimulated = manager.location?.sourceInformation?.isSimulatedBySoftware ?? false

                    let isProducedByAccess = locationManager.location?.sourceInformation?.isProducedByAccessory ?? false

                    

                    let info = CLLocationSourceInformation(softwareSimulationState: isLocationSimulated, andExternalAccessoryState: isProducedByAccess)

                    print("location simulation info \(info)")
              
                    if info.isSimulatedBySoftware == true || info.isProducedByAccessory == true{

                        isSimulatedLocation = true

                    } else {

                        isSimulatedLocation = false

                    }

                }

I could detect the location faking using third party application like iAnyGo..
