TomorrowWeatherApp

TomorrowWeatherApp is a Swift-based iOS application that provides weather forecasts for multiple locations using real-time data. The app is built using the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture and integrates with open-meteo weather API to fetch and display weather information.

Features

• Real-Time Weather Updates: Displays weather information such as temperature, location, and hourly forecasts for predefined coordinates.
• Rotating Locations: Automatically cycles through a list of preset locations every 10 seconds to showcase weather conditions for each.
• Chart Representation: Visualizes temperature variations using SwiftUI Charts.
• Background & Foreground Handling: Saves the app's state when backgrounded and resumes seamlessly when reopened.
• Testable Architecture: Includes mocks and unit tests to ensure the accuracy of weather service and app logic.

Improvements or Features to Add If this were not a test exercise, the following features or enhancements could be considered:

• **Custom Location Input: Allow users to add their own coordinates or select a location via a map interface.
• **Caching: Implement local caching for weather data to reduce API calls and enhance offline usability.
• **Localization: Add support for multiple languages and regional formats for temperature and time.
• **Error Handling: Improve user-facing error messages and provide a retry mechanism for network failures.
• **Dark Mode: Enhance UI with proper support for dark mode.
• **Settings Page: Let users configure the update interval, temperature units (Celsius/Fahrenheit), and location preferences.
• **Push Notifications: Notify users of severe weather updates or significant temperature changes.
• **Widget Support: Add home screen widgets to display quick weather updates.
• **Improved UI: Add animations, transitions, and a cleaner layout for a more polished user experience.
• **API Abstraction: Generalize the weather service to allow switching between multiple APIs
