didFailWithError: Error Domain=kCLErrorDomain Code=0 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (kCLErrorDomain error 0.)"

Question

I want to get the current location, but instead I get an error.

This is a snippet of my view controller.

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
    [locationManager setDelegate:self];
    [locationManager setDesiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters];
    [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager 
     didUpdateLocations:(NSArray<CLLocation *> *)locations {
    // I would get the latest location here
    // but this method never gets called
}
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager 
       didFailWithError:(NSError *)error {
    NSLog(@"didFailWithError: %@", error);
}

I'm expecting the delegate method locationManager:didUpdateLocations: to get called, but instead, only locationManager:didFailWithError: gets called, and prints this:

didFailWithError: Error Domain=kCLErrorDomain Code=0 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (kCLErrorDomain error 0.)"

If you are using the simulator:

1. Press command + shift + , in Xcode to open the scheme editor
2. Select the Run scheme
3. Go to the Options tab
4. Check ✅ Allow Location Simulation
5. Select a Default Location in the dropdown

Selecting None as your Default Location may have caused the problem.
