3 6COSC004W Native Programming Coursework 2 Individual coursework Introduction This coursework is about using SwiftUI Framework to design and build a weather application. The weather data is to be fetched from https://openweathermap.org/api using APIs provided by openweather. The initial application view will allow the user to enter a location which will show the temperature and humidity (Figure1). There will be options to view more detailed weather (Figure2) and a 5 Day forecast (Figure 3) The functional requirements are: • User can input a place name and get the current weather data displayed in real time – temperature and humidity • User can get detailed current weather that will include weather summary icon, temperature, humidity pressure and windspeed. • User can get a 5-day forecast with 3 hourly predictions. • The app must safely handle non-existent locations and non-alphabetic entries. • Location names with spaces must be correctly processed, e.g., San Francisco, etc • Transition from any one view to any other view is manged correctly by use of buttons or navigation links The non-functional requirements are: • The app interface follows Apple guidelines. • The app interaction is consistent. • The app should render on any iPhone

The file you upload should have the following naming format: E.g. 6COSC004W_StudentNumber_firstName_lastName.zip Type of Feedback and Due Date: Formative feedback will be provided during tutorial sessions. Verbal feedback on the submitted CW will be provided during an online viva. Students are encouraged to record this feedback at this time. Feedback and marks are due by the TBD. Feedback shall also be given on the Blackboard. Note: All marks will remain provisional until formally agreed by an Assessment Board. 2 Assessment regulations See the Assessment guidelines https://www.westminster.ac.uk/current- students/guides-and-policies/assessment-guidelines for a clarification of how you are assessed, penalties and late submissions, what constitutes plagiarism etc. Penalty for Late Submission If you submit your coursework late but within 24 hours or one working day of the specified deadline, 10 marks will be deducted from the final mark, as a penalty for late submission, except for work which obtains a mark in the range 40 – 49%, in which case the mark will be capped at the pass mark (40%). If you submit your coursework more than 24 hours or more than one working day after the specified deadline you will be given a mark of zero for the work in question unless a claim of Mitigating Circumstances has been submitted and accepted as valid. It is recognised that on occasion, illness or a personal crisis can mean that you fail to submit a piece of work on time. In such cases you must inform the Campus Office in writing on a mitigating circumstances form, giving the reason for your late or non-submission. You must provide relevant documentary evidence with the form. This information will be reported to the relevant Assessment Board that will decide whether the mark of zero shall stand. For more detailed information regarding University Assessment Regulations, please refer to the following website http://www.westminster.ac.uk/study/current-students/resources/academic- regulations Note: By submitting the work through Blackboard you are acknowledging that this is solely your own work. Any code which is not created by you MUST be clearly commented as such. Any code discovered to not have been created by you will mean that the work will be submitted to academic standards for a potential assessment offence, which may result in a zero mark in the component or whole module. https://www.westminster.ac.uk/current-students/guides-and-policies/assessment-guidelines https://www.westminster.ac.uk/current-students/guides-and-policies/assessment-guidelines http://www.westminster.ac.uk/study/current-students/resources/academic-regulations http://www.westminster.ac.uk/study/current-students/resources/academic-regulations 3 6COSC004W Native Programming Coursework 2 Individual coursework Introduction This coursework is about using SwiftUI Framework to design and build a weather application.
