I need a way to spoof the GPS on my phone without alerting the clock-in software that I'm using a third party app to do it. I have android

I suspect that the clock-in software is checking for developer options > mock gps > select app. I've tried a couple different gps spoofing apps with the same result "it appears you are using a third party GPS app. Please disable it before clocking out"

I don't know how the encryption works on your phone, but I used mitmproxy to spoof GPS data sent by an app to a server. Need to be able to install and use your own CA though which is a hassle in android.

CA in this context is certificate authority? Sorry my tech knowledge has diminished over the years

Ah yes sorry should have clarified that. Need to be your own certificate authority to break encryption.

Will this and this lead me in the right direction you think?

Depends on how deep you want to go. Mitmproxy takes care of most of these steps for you. You simply have to install the CA yourself.
