Are you running your app on simulator or physical device?
I sometimes got

{message: "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.marianhello error 1003.)", code: 1003}

when change the simulated location on Xcode 10 - iOS 12 simulator (not tested on physical device yet), and also Maps app cannot get device location. So idk if it can be a simulator error...
Note: I can see the location only when simulating a static location (Debug -> Location -> Apple), but even Maps fails when turning on (Debug -> Location -> City Bicycle Ride/City Run/Freeway Drive).

@JoseVf yes I just tested that today and it seems that it only happens when you're on a simulator using one of the dynamic location options. Because of that this Im going to close this issue. Do you think this is an RN issue?

[JoseVf]

I don't think so. Even Maps app fails, so I guess it may be an Xcode/Simulator problem.

It happened to me. Is it only happens on simulator or anyone experienced on physical device?

Just had this error on Simulator (iOS 14.12) while I was using a custom location.
Was solved by changing the location mode (Features-> Location) to none, and then back to the custom location.
