I am using Geolocation.watchPosition() and I get the following error on callback

Network location provider at 'https://www.googleapis.com/' : Returned error code 403.

This seems to be only happening in chrome desktop browser. firefox seems to be fine. This is also just started happening today, I have never come across this error before within my web app using the Geolocation.watchPosition().

Update: bug https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=753242

This happened to me too. I had to enable location services on my Mac.
