This build introduces configurable weather alert notifications, a new Settings panel, manual city/location search, a new Home Screen widget, a new Apple Watch companion app, and upgraded weather visuals with realistic animations (sun glow/rays, rain, snow, cloud drift, storm flash). Please test: • Manual city/location search: search for a city, select a result, and verify the weather updates for the selected location • Verify city search handles invalid or unavailable locations correctly • Verify the selected city and weather data remain consistent after refreshing or reopening the app • Temperature alerts (low and high thresholds) • Feels-like temperature display: verify “Feels like” appears under the main temperature (orange), above Humidity, and matches the apparent temperature value from WeatherKit • Rain alerts based on minute forecast or hourly fallback • Customizable thresholds and cooldown interval • Toggle enable/disable for temperature and rain alerts • Automatic refresh behavior (1-minute interval and foreground return) • Notification permission flow and correct alert delivery • Alert cooldown behavior: confirm alerts trigger only when thresholds are crossed and do not repeat excessively • Main weather graphics: verify realistic condition effects render correctly (sun rays/glow, rain streaks/splash, snow drift, cloud drift, storm flash) and remain smooth during updates • Accessibility: with Reduce Motion enabled, confirm weather effects are reduced/tempered appropriately Widget (Home Screen): • Add the “GPF Weather System” widget (small/medium) and verify it displays city, condition icon, temperature, feels-like temperature (if enabled), and last updated time • After selecting a city manually, verify the widget displays the selected city and its latest weather data • Widget refresh: confirm the widget updates after opening the app and after a manual refresh, using the latest saved data (App Group) Apple Watch companion app: • Open the companion app and verify it displays city, condition icon, temperature, and last updated time • After selecting a city on iPhone, verify the Watch app receives and displays the selected location • Tap Refresh and confirm it requests an update from iPhone and updates promptly • If iPhone is not reachable, confirm the “refresh queued” status appears and the watch updates later when connectivity returns No login or account setup is required.
