[Broken it no longer works. Use a weather api instead] Weather Mate ☁ [free]

Hi,
The development of app was done on Microsoft 11, but the weather.aix(from weather mate) was downloaded on iOS and shared via google drive .
Wondering whether that might be the issue.

51

Do you mean Windows 11 ?

52

Sorry. Yes Windows ...

Nothing to do with Windows. The AppInventor ios companion / setup cannot use extensions.

54

I think he means he downloaded the extension and not the app on iOS and transferred the extension on Android, and tested it there.

55

yes that is right. to make it simpler I downloaded extension on windows and created and tested the app also there.

I'm still getting the error . Could this be because this extension uses google weather data ?

56

I believe that the API is currently down.

57

Are you testing with the ioS companion or the Android companion ?

58

Tested on android companion, not returning any results

I have experienced similar issues. It is recommended to use a weather API instead. I'll write a tutorial for you about implementing a weather API.

yes, had used an android companion.

Hello
Do anyone have an aia file to share, which fetches weather forecast using API key. Since it comes with string of data, I would like to know how to required .extract information.
Thanks

Here is an easy to use Weather API https://openweathermap.org/

It requires you sign up for a personal key to use the API. They provide a reasonable amount of free usage. API Key
This api requires a free API key to work. Obtain your free key from OpenWeatherMap
https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up

You can build something like this using the Web component, the Map and a LocationSensor and the api.

I also tried this free API which allows me to make 1,000,000 calls every month.

What exactly does this mean? Extensions usually do not disappear after compiling... please elaborate

Sorry didn't explain myself properly, I meant the extension doesn't work when the apk has been created. I've used it before awhile ago and had no issues till now.
