I rely on a awesome android app[0] for my photography, it's just a big table of data like Low, Med, High cloud cover, which you can use to predict sunsets/rises. It uses the Dark Sky api. Will android apps be allowed continued access to this API? If not, I'm screwed. Unless anyone knows another source for this type of detailed weather data?

According to the article: > The Dark Sky API and website will continue to function until March 31st, 2023. So your app has that long.

The developer documentation[1] says "REST APIs can be used for websites and other platforms" so it looks like you can use WeatherKit in your Android App, although the API has slightly changed from the Dark Sky API.
