Dark Sky API gets reborn as Apple WeatherKit, with plans to support Android

Two years ago, we were treated to a bitter farewell: Dark Sky, a popular weather app, was acquired by Apple, with the consequence being that we'd have to say goodbye to the Android version of the app. While the iOS version still lives on (its DNA also got integrated into the regular Weather app), it's also due to be sunsetted by the end of the year. At WWDC 2022 this week, we're finally getting learning what else Apple has been doing with Dark Sky's resources this whole time, and the good news is that the forecast sure looks like it includes support for Android once again: meet WeatherKit.
