Hi. I’m experiencing a system-wide Core Location issue on my MacBook.
Current location does not work in Apple Maps, Weather, Find My, or websites in browsers that request location access.
macOS version: 27.0
Build: 26A428
I have already tried:
disabling and re-enabling Location Services;
checking permissions for Maps, Weather and browsers;
restarting the Mac;
a different Wi-Fi network;
iPhone Personal Hotspot;
creating a new network location;
testing with a new macOS user account;
Safe Mode;
checking VPN, proxy and DNS settings;
removing an old VPN configuration;
reinstalling macOS through Recovery without erasing the disk.
The issue still occurs after all of these steps.
The locationd service is running, but its logs repeatedly show knownCount = 0, Wi-Fi access points being treated as unknown, and no last location.
Could you please escalate this case to a senior advisor or the macOS/Core Location engineering team? I can provide the locationd logs and a sysdiagnose if required.
