Bug fixes

Bug fix to follow the device's 24-hour time selection.

Bug fixes
Several small user interface updates

The EPA website has been unreliable, and the data format changes without any prior notification breaking the app. Therefore, this version utilizes the superb Apple Weather framework to provide the current UV Index.

In addition to the estimated hourly UV Index list view, the app will now display a temperature chart for the next eight hours.

Updates to support the latest hardware and the latest versions of iOS and iPadOS.

Small interface updates.

This is a small update to check for a network connection and correctly inform the user when the app can not reach the Internet to receive UV-Index data from the EPA website.

Oops! I missed the fact that the EPA website publishes dates with two digits days, and the App was filtering for single digits. Fixed now!

The EPA website slightly changed the format of the data it provides, which made it impossible for the VBS UV-Index to get the current UV Index at the user location. Fixed now.

Corrected a bug that would not display the correct color for a UV-index of 11 or more--purple.

Corrected a bug that would utilize the default location (San Francisco) rather than the user's current location when the app first launched.

Better error handling when the EPA Web site is down and not providing UVIndex forecasts.
Better error handling when checking for Internet connections.

Complete re-write of the app to support the latest Apple iOS devices.

I finally noticed that EPA changed the way they delivered data which broke the old version. This version better supports future EPA changes.
The about screen now allows you to send a support email directly from the app.

Several interface changes to make the app easier to use.

A small under the hood update for a more reliable user experience.
Zip code and City now automatically update.

Fixed a bug in the refresh routine that still indicated that the app was using yesterdays EPA data when the data had already been updated.

Updated buttons and user interface
The app now automatically updates forecast when the app returns to the foreground.
Add the ability to utilize yesterday's EPA forecast when the US EPA has not updated the current forecast rather than present an error message. The status label color turns to red to indicate the change.
Updated routine for when the internet is not available.

Cleaned up some of the code to prepare for the new iOS version this fall.

Updated the URL the EPA is now using to access current UV-index forecasts.

Added UV-index color coding to the hourly forecast.

Added a button to view the entire day's UV-index forecast.
Added privacy notification.

Added better error notification when the EPA Web site is not providing UV index forecasts.

Updated the correct color for a UV index of 11 and above.

Minor code cleanup.

Finally found and squashed the cellular connection bug. This version should now work as expected on both Wifi and cellular (WWAN) networks! Many thanks to my iOS teacher, Chris Ching, for helping me discover what was right in front of me!

Cleaned up some text layout issues.

The EPA Web site changed their data format. This small update corrects for the format change.
This version works as expected on Wifi, and we are still working on bugs when connected to a cellular network​.
Stay tuned!

* The HUGE bug fixed in this version of the app is now it is able to connect to a cellular network (WWAN)! Phew! If you find it is not connecting to your AT&T network, tap off and on the cellular radio and you should be good to go.

* Checks for internet connection and lets the user know if none is found.
* Added a check for a local postal code and if none is found warns the user.
* Added a button to manually refresh the UV Index forecast after that app is opened and completed its initial​ forecast.
