open weather API version 2.5 is deprecated

[MFAshby]

Hello,

It looks like privacy friendly weather is using open weather API version 2.5. This API is deprecated and scheduled to shut down in June

privacy-friendly-weather/app/build.gradle

Line 37 in 027bdd8

buildConfigField "String", "BASE_URL", "\"https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/\""

switch to Cirrus which uses Open-Meteo and does not need an API key or require your credit card data.

App has stopped working this morning so I guess the API it was using is now closed.

My years-old OpenWeathermap API key held up much longer, only stopped working earlier this week. I initially chalked it up to owm mocking the FOSS ideal again, well, maybe I was partially right... For now, migrating to cirrus seems fine, even if it missed at least one feature of privacy-friendly-weather (allowing duplicate widgets to serve up different locations).

Is this still a problem right?

I see no reason to go back to this app from Cirrus, so, no, not for those who switched.
