Introduction

Hey there!

The new WeatherKit framework

The purpose of this tutorial is to provide a user guide that will walk users through the process of creating a Weather mobile application. It is intended for iOS Engineers and everyone. You need previous technical experience in SwiftUI to understand this guide. We hope this guide will provide users with a better understanding of how to create a weather app with Apple frameworks and APIs

Good to know: All the code is available step by step!

Part II - UI Design

SWIFTUI - target iOS *macOS 12.5 *iOS16 *Xcode14.0

We have downloaded weather data from WeatherKit and put it onto the screen.

Technically you need to have the capability to have WeatherKit request.

That’s required to make Weather kit calls.

Part II - Display Measurement data

SWIFTUI - target iOS *macOS 12.5 *iOS16 *Xcode14.0

We have downloaded weather data from WeatherKit and put it onto the screen.

Technically you need to have the capability to have WeatherKit request.

That’s required to make Weather kit calls.

Part I - Downloading weather data

SWIFTUI - target iOS *macOS 12.5 *iOS16 *Xcode14.0

I have already made a new Xcode project, targeting iOS.

Technically you need to have the capability to have WeatherKit request.

That’s required to make Weather kit calls.

Necessary Installations

Enabling Developer Mode

Developer Mode, introduced in iOS 16 and watchOS 9, protects people from inadvertently installing potentially harmful software on their devices, and reduces attack vectors exposed by developer-only functionality. source: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/enabling-developer-mode-on-a-device

Xcode 14 beta 6

to download: https://developer.apple.com/download/applications/

Xcode 14 beta includes everything you need to create amazing apps for all Apple platforms. It includes beta SDKs for iOS 16, iPadOS 16, tvOS 16, watchOS 9, and macOS 13.

Weather kit request

WeatherKit, together with the all-new Apple Weather service, provides apps and services with a wide range of valuable weather data that can help people stay up to date, safe, and prepared. WeatherKit is currently in beta and available to Apple Developer Program members. Learn about the requirements, tools to get started, and how to transition from the Dark Sky weather service.
