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
