Technical Implementation
Core Location Integration

Weather API Networking
Utilizes URLSession for asynchronous network requests to a third-party weather API. Implements proper JSON parsing, error handling, and data model structures for robust API communication. Handles network failures gracefully with user-friendly error messages.
UIKit Design Patterns
Built with UIKit using programmatic UI and storyboards. Implements delegate patterns for text field interactions and location manager callbacks. Uses MVC architecture for clean separation of concerns between data, view, and controller logic.
