Swift Charts with WeatherKit

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

An app for an electric bike uses WeatherKit and Swift Charts to surface forecasts, alerts and air‑quality data via Apple’s REST API, with a dashboard showing monthly call counts and pay‑per‑use after the free tier; WeatherKit gives ML‑based predictions but limits visual customization and control of upstream data, Swift Charts renders rich, declarative charts with marks and modifiers in a few lines, animation works, and a live demo mostly builds but fails to show networked data due to no connectivity.
