I've created an .app python application and I need to enable location services for it from command line, because in my setup there is no access to GUI.

So basically, I wan't to achieve doing

System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Location Services and tick <app_name>

from command line. How do I do that?

There isn’t a way to do this, because allowing this would make for a trivial privacy bypass.

For most privacy settings you can control this using a configuration profile with the com.apple.TCC.configuration-profile-policy payload but I don’t see location listed there.
