For my app, I would like to offer the user an option to enter a value in any currency and have it converted to their 'home' currency with the correct exchange rate. I saw that the Apple Calculator is offering that functionality and was wondering if there is a way to also get the exchange rate with out of the box tools?
I know that there are several API providers out there that offer the current exchange rate for any currency but I am looking for a solution that is free of charge.

Apple platforms have no API, framework or web service, that returns exchange rates. If you’d like to see such support added in the future, I encourage you to file an enhancement request describing your requirements.
Please post your bug number, just for the record.
ps Last time I looked the European Central Bank had a free exchange rate web service, but that was many moons ago.
Share and Enjoy
