I filed FB16332997 about the VERY high snowfall estimates I'm seeing in WeatherKit and iOS Weather. I initially thought something was wrong with my weather app but I verified the numbers with the iOS Weather app and another third party weather app. For Atlanta last week it was saying 7.5" when it ended up being 2" (which I can live with). Two days ago it reported there could be 16" of snow in northern Florida. That's impossible! This morning it was reporting that Niceville could have 6-7" of snow, which would be significantly more than highest amount in recorded history for Florida (where snow is extremely rare). It almost makes me wonder if the liquid precipitation value is actually the snowfall amount in reality. And then that is incorrectly being converted to the snowfall amount.

After changing the bundle identifier of my app, I’ve encountered several issues that I can’t seem to resolve, even though I’ve followed all the necessary steps. The app with the previous identifier was live on Testflight, and working perfectly fine, but now I’m facing the following problems: WeatherKit Authentication Issue WeatherKit has stopped working, and I’m getting authentication errors. I’ve updated the app in the Developer Portal to reflect the new bundle ID, but it still doesn’t authenticate properly. Xcode Cloud Configuration Issue: Xcode is asking me to set up Xcode Cloud again, which I understand is expected after a bundle ID change. However, during the setup process, it fails to recognize my remote repository, even though the repository is correctly added and visible under the Source Control tab. TestFlight Internal Testing Issue: I manually uploaded a build to TestFlight, but internal testers cannot use it because the invitation appears as invalid. This wasn’t an issue with the app’s previous identifier. It seems like the bundle ID change has caused some fundamental issues that I can’t resolve despite following all the usual instructions. Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to resolve these problems? I'm using the latest Xcode 16.2 on Mac OS Sequoia 15.2

Hi there, I am using WeatherKit to display weather forecast information in an app. I would like to include some information about when the weather forecast was issued for my users to see. This information is included in the response Metadata as documented in the WeatherKit REST API docs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/weatherkitrestapi/metadata Specifically there is a “reportedTime” property which I would like to use here. However I am consuming WeatherKit via the Swift API, I don’t see this property available via the Swift APIs. How can I access the reportedTime property via the WeatherKit Swift APIs? Or is it not exposed via the Swift APIs?

Hi There, My app displays both daily and hourly forecast information, as consumed from the Weatherkit API. I would also like to let my users know when the forecast was generated/issued. The reason being, if a forecast was issued 1-2 hours in the past for example, then the user(s) will know to refresh the weather forecast for the latest information soon. Looking through the docs, I don't see any way of accessing this information. I would expect it to be available on the hourlyForecast.metadata property. Does anyone know if it's possible to obtain the 'issued time' of the forecast? (both hourly and daily). Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to implement WeatherKit for the first time and I am seeing this error when calling for the weather: Failed to generate jwt token for: com.apple.weatherkit.authservice with error: Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" and Encountered an error when fetching weather data subset; location=<+51.57750785,-2.08241362> +/- 6.55m (speed -1.00 mps / course -1.00) @ 11/01/2025, 11:50:45 Greenwich Mean Time, error=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors 2 Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" I have: Enabled the WeatherKit capability in my iOS app in XCode Added Weatherkit to the AppID in the developer portal Any suggestions what else I can check? I'm running iOS 18.2.1 on 15 ProMax with XCode 16.2

Hello, We are a happy user of WeatherKit REST API. When can I expect weatherAlerts to work in Japan? The availability endpoint doesn't return weatherAlerts and I hope it's coming soon.

Hello. I took a closer look at the data I'm getting back for hourly forecasts and I'm baffled by results I'm seeing. For example, it's Dec 19, 2022 8:00am PT and I'm asking for the weather for Orchard Park NY (lat 42.766437 long -78.743855) for Dec 23, 2022. The daily forecast tells me they're expected to have 5.9" of snow. However, the hourly forecast with the most snow that day is reported as 0.071" (1.8mm). The Apple Weather app on iOS shows that hour as having 0.6". I wrote a 'for' loop to print the results of my call to WeatherService.shared.weather.         print(oneHour.precipitationAmount.formatted())         print(oneHour.precipitationAmount.description)         print(oneHour.precipitationAmount.unit)         print(oneHour.precipitationAmount.value) 0.071 in 1.8 mm <_NSStatic_NSUnitLength: 0x2010b0178> mm 1.8

I'm doing a weather app, users can search locations for getting weather, but the problem is, the results only shows locations in my country, not in global. For example, I'm in China, I can't search New York, it just shows nothing. Here's my code: @Observable class SearchPlaceManager: NSObject { var searchText: String = "" let searchCompleter = MKLocalSearchCompleter() var searchResults: [MKLocalSearchCompletion] = [] override init() { super.init() searchCompleter.resultTypes = .address searchCompleter.delegate = self } @MainActor func seachLocation() { if !searchText.isEmpty { searchCompleter.queryFragment = searchText } } } extension SearchPlaceManager: MKLocalSearchCompleterDelegate { func completerDidUpdateResults(_ completer: MKLocalSearchCompleter) { withAnimation { self.searchResults = completer.results } } } Also, I've tried to set searchCompleter.region = MKCoordinateRegion( center: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 0, longitude: 0), span: MKCoordinateSpan(latitudeDelta: 180, longitudeDelta: 360) ), but it doesn't work.

I am trying to add WeatherKit support to a commandline app to fetch historical data. I've configured an app ID with the WeatherKit entitlement, but WeatherKit does not appear in the Capabilities list to add. When I try to access weather data, it fails with Code=4097 "connection to service named com.apple.weatherkit.authservice" suggesting it's not authorized. How do I add the WeatherKit entitlement to a commandline Swift app?

I've been using the weather kit API for months now without issue, but all of a sudden API queries return the response {"reason": "EXPIRED"}. The code around this area hasn't changed since June and the credentials haven't changed. The JWT is refreshed frequently (well within expiration). Have looked at the generated JWT in jwt.io and Payload and Header details correct and jwt.io reports JWT as "signature verified". Is the JWT a red herring and its something else? Here's an example URL: https://weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/weather/en_AU/-37.37834963844341/144.76238003519637?dailyStart=2024-12-12T13:00:00Z&dailyEnd=2024-12-13T13:00:00Z&timeZone=Australia/Melbourne&dataSets=forecastDaily Would appreciate any insights you may have.

Specifically, In (https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/identifiers/): I can't find the Weatherkit option under Capabilities or App Services in the configuration of the identifier. In Xcode: Add WeatherKit capability fail. output log: The capability associated with "WEATHERKIT" could not be determined. Please file a bug report at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com and include the Update Signing report from the Report navigator. Is it related to my region and account? My account is Apple Developer Enterprise Program , the region is Mainland China.

We have a service that was accessing the WeatherKit Api. We had the service up and running, using JWT authorisation and a registered service. Some time ago it stopped working, returning a 401 response. We need the service to be up again now. We created a new JWS token following this instruction: https://dev.iachieved.it/iachievedit/weatherkit-rest-api/ which already workedfor us in 2022. However, we keep receiving a 401 error and the "reason": "NOT_ENABLED" message. We found that several other uses seem to be experiencing similar problems. We also created a new key and service identifier, but no luck.

I haven't gotten any hits searching for this, so I decided to open a new thread. The Tech Note that was mentioned in an earlier 2024 thread doesn't mention this error. I've been trying different ways to get a token, and finally found this article that seems to be in the correct format. https://dev.to/hasone/generate-jwt-token-for-apple-store-connect-api-using-python-3j5h The Apple App Store Server Swift Library was supposed to have a createJWT() method, but it's gone now. curl -v -H 'Authorization: Bearer [token]' "https://weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/availability/37.323/122.032?country=US" Host weatherkit.apple.com:443 was resolved.

大家好， 我目前正在开发一个需要使用WeatherKit的iOS应用程序。我已在我的aioutfit3.entitlements文件中添加了必要的权限，如下所示： <？xml版本="1.0"编码="UTF-8"？> <！DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist版本="1.0"> <字典> <键>com.apple.developer.weatherkit</键> <真实/> </字典> 尽管如此，当我试图获取天气数据时，该应用程序报告说它找不到授权文件，并特别提到WeatherKit授权缺失。以下是日志输出的一部分： ❌未找到权利文件 📱捆绑ID：com.superhuang.aioutfit3 ❌未找到WeatherKit权利 我已确认授权文件在Xcode项目中配置正确，并已尝试清理和重建该项目。然而，这个问题仍然存在。 有人遇到过类似的问题吗？或者有人有可能有助于解决这个问题的建议吗？非常感谢您的帮助！ 我希望这个帖子的内容能帮助你在论坛上找到解决方案。如果您需要更多信息或修改，请告诉我！ 一些图片

With the introduction of the Tides app in watchOS 11, users can now view information about tides and swells along the coast. Is this data accessible to developers via WeatherKit? In the Tides app, the data source for tides and weather is shown as WeatherKit.

I'm using WeatherKit for my weather app built with SwiftUI. Even though the location is set in an area where the NWS is issuing weather alerts, WeatherKit randomly returns availability.alertAvailability as temporarilyUnavailable or unsupported, and the weatherAlerts is always nil.

Hello fellow developers, I’m posting this short message because I’m trying to add WeatherKit to my application, but I’m running into a problem. I have correctly declared my application on Apple’s website under Certificates, IDs & Profiles, and I have checked WeatherKit. However in Xcode, I do not have the option to add WeatherKit in Signing & Capabilities. The option doesn’t appear even though I have the Automatically manage signing box checked. What can I do to resolve this issue? Thank you for your response.

HI there, when requesting the daily forecast via the WeatherKit REST API, I found out that under certain circumstances the moon phase full is skipped.

I know this error is probably because the forecast starts prior to the full moon phase and ends after it but customers don't care about technicalities. They see that there is a full moon missing and complain to me. And they are right. Can you fix this somehow? For example, if a DailyForecast spans the majority of a full moon this Day is marked as full moon. Another question: Are you considering providing a moonPhase attribute to the "currentWeather" dataset? That would be the best option. (At least for me :))

My Weather beach app displays the time according to the country in the weather link under iOS 17 but not under IOS 18 NSTimeZone.resetSystemTimeZone() is no longer supported by IOS 18 or it is a bug

I keep getting severe weather warnings in CA but I’m in NY. I have checked my locations and I have no CA weather requests selected. I clicked on the alert and it said it was from weatherkit. How do I make these CA go away for good? Thanks!
