Widgets calling WeatherService.shared.weather multiple times at the same time
Hello. I noticed pretty early on that WeatherService.shared.weather seems to cache results. I realized this when I called it, killed network connectivity to my device, and then called it again I still got results back. My concern is about my widgets, which are also able to call WeatherService.shared.weather. I put my call inside of getTimeline(). After adding logging I realized that getTimeline() is called multiple times at the same time. For example, if I have two different widgets each with three different sizes (small, large, rectangular, etc) then six calls to getTimeline() are made for an update. I found a blog by Shopify iOS developers that describes how they found the same thing, but the forums aren't letting me link to their website's blog. My questions is which of these scenarios is happening: Even though WeatherService.shared.weather is called six times in the same second it's actually only the first call that goes out via the network and the remaining five calls just returned cached results. More than one of the six calls in the same second could be making a network call. If that's the case I'm going to need to add some form of throttling/caching because the number of free API calls per month is limited. Thank you!

Hourly precipitation amounts seem drastically low
Hello. I took a closer look at the data I'm getting back for hourly forecasts and I'm baffled by results I'm seeing. For example, it's Dec 19, 2022 8:00am PT and I'm asking for the weather for Orchard Park NY (lat 42.766437 long -78.743855) for Dec 23, 2022. The daily forecast tells me they're expected to have 5.9" of snow. However, the hourly forecast with the most snow that day is reported as 0.071" (1.8mm). The Apple Weather app on iOS shows that hour as having 0.6". I wrote a 'for' loop to print the results of my call to WeatherService.shared.weather.         print(oneHour.precipitationAmount.formatted())         print(oneHour.precipitationAmount.description)         print(oneHour.precipitationAmount.unit)         print(oneHour.precipitationAmount.value) 0.071 in 1.8 mm <_NSStatic_NSUnitLength: 0x2010b0178> mm 1.8

VoiceOver ignoring UICalendarView day decorations
I'm using UICalendarView in my SwiftUI app. Inside of my func calendarView() I'm specifying emojis for decorations for certain days and they're showing up just fine. The problem is that VoiceOver completely ignores the decorations. If I touch a day it says the date and "button", which is exactly what I want. I've tried adding all of the accessibility items below but none of them cause VoiceOver to mention the day's decoration.        return .customView {         let emoji = UILabel()         emoji.text = foundEvent.emoji         emoji.isAccessibilityElement = true         emoji.accessibilityIdentifier = "identifier"         emoji.accessibilityTraits = .staticText         emoji.accessibilityLabel = "I like turtles."         emoji.accessibilityValue = foundEvent.emoji         emoji.accessibilityHint = "I also like turtles."         return emoji       }

SiriTipView showing ${APPLICATIONNAME} instead of my app's name.
Version 14.0 beta 4 (14A5284g) This is all referring to the simulator. When I run the Shortcuts app my phrase is properly shown for my app and the app's name is correctly populated. However, when I try to add a SiriTipView the same phrase shows the application name as ${APPLICATIONNAME}. I changed the first letter of the phrase and verified the change showed up in the Shortcuts app and my app tip. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or should file feedback instead.
