I'm about to release 5.0.3 for problems similar to this. Could you try https://sourceforge.net/projects/heat-meteo/files/Meteo/Beta/ and see if it fixes it? Let me know either way. Ed

If any body else downloads 5.1, please report problems here.. No need for additional Alpha bug threads. I've already discovered 3 more problems in a1. 1) Separator lines missing in the menu display. 2) Wake from sleep not working. 3) Refresh timer not working. I'll be gone most of the next 2 days so I don't know what I'll get fixed, when. Ed

5.1.0.a1 Caution - Alpha comes before Beta. The code in this folder,https://sourceforge.net/projects/heat-meteo/files/Meteo/Alpha/ , is very raw and will likely crash. It is testing new ideas and concepts. Like Beta versions, Alpha versions will automatically try to update to later Alpha versions, then as necessary to Beta versions and eventually to production. It tries it’s best but no guarantees. (The key point is that production and Beta versions won’t find Alpha versions.) Once again, I’m reworking...

Are you saying the latest code still isn't working? "NWPathMonitor is mainly useful for finding out what kind of connection will be used - wired LAN, WiFi, or on iOS, cellular data, and whether that path changes." I use NWPathMonitor to test for a WiFi connection (the test is different between iOS and macOS). Once I know the a connection exists, I check for a connection to the various weather API's, if they are accessible. At that point, we move forward. Yes there were bumps in that code but I believe...

Let me research this. Thanks. But I think my latest attempt is partially doing that, augmenting the NWPathMonitor with a test call to the actual service. The article actually said to replace SCNetworkReachability with NWPathMonitor which is what is being used. And yes, you are very helpful with links like you provided. Thank you. Ed
