Weather Widget iOS (Expo + iOS Widget)

A React Native (Expo) application with an iOS Widget Extension that displays current weather information and supports Live Activity updates. The project includes a native iOS widget target integrated with the JS app via a small native bridge.

Features

• Expo-managed React Native app
• Current weather via API
• Location-based weather lookup (with user permission)
• iOS Widget Extension (WidgetKit) with shared data
• Live Activity support (ActivityKit)

Setup

• npm install
• npx expo prebuild -p ios

Running the App

• Development:
  • npx expo start
  • iOS Simulator: press i when Metro starts, or open in Expo Go
• Prebuilt iOS (needed for widget):
  • npx expo prebuild -p ios
  • Open ios/WeatherApp.xcworkspace in Xcode
  • Select WeatherApp scheme and run on a simulator/device

Notes

• WidgetDataModule.swift/.m exposes a module to JS for updating data accessible to the widget
• withWidgetModule.js config plugin ensures the module + targets are added during prebuild
