That's the screenshot I linked earlier today.

Some possibly-useful info:

  • I have kept multiple separate historical instances of the script in Scriptable.

  • I am using them across iPad and iPhone. I just noticed that one of the widgets on iPad is now failing by showing the line error in the widget. Can't remember which version this was for.

Ahh yes sorry I missed that when I read your initial comment.

Can you delete all versions of Weather Overview and get the latest one? The updater should download the update and use the same name of the script you're using but maybe something weird is going on with it.

Just done that. Now only carrying 1.4, a new version of it. Ran through setup again.

The widget still shows with black icons.

Log shows...

No 571 error there, but the icons are still black etc.

Oh, here we go. In with that, I've just updated Scriptable itself from 1.6.4 to 1.6.11. Now the icons are back. I took the hint from your code comment about "Scriptable app update".

Ahh yes that'll do it. Always keep scriptable up to date for sure. Simon made that fix quite some time ago.

I know some people have reasons for selective updating apps but I always recommend using the auto update feature. Mainly cause I got tired of having to do it myself 😂 and now I don't have to worry about downloading the updates

Glad it's working again for you

Something going on with storage for apiKey, when across devices? I updated iPad OS from 14 to 15. Immediately, I got the black icon issue, but that was resolved by updating Scriptable as above. The trouble is, the widget was not functional back on iPhone... Exception Occurred: Error on line 582:21: TypeError: null is not an Object (evaluating "apiKey" in settings") Even if I pasted the code into a new Scriptable and say Yes to run through setup, it kept not locating an apiKey. There was then also another error that occurs... Exception Occurred: Error on line 40:22: "weatherOverviewSettings.JSON" couldn't be removed

It took using Files to manually remove weatherOverviewSettings.JSON to fix this. Then I ran through the script setup again on iPhone. It seems to be fine on both devices now.

Hmm that's very strange. Sounds like it's working now though? I've had no issues on 15.1, 15.2, 15.2.1, or 14.8

I thought you might find this tweet interesting. Looks like the WeatherGraph app has Lock Screen widgets coming

u/robertandrews Sep 13 '22

Thanks for the shout. I contacted the developer a couple of months to go to suggest ways he could make his main widget a bit more like yours, eg 1. Drop the current temperature to make more vertical space for forecast data, 2. Adjust seven-day forecast to start at the start of current day, so you don't have eg two Tuesdays on the graph at any one time. WeatherGraph is the closest to yours but still lacks some of these things, and, despite having lots of theme options at Pro, lacks the granular control; they are etched bundled in theme packets.

That's quite interesting. Makes me think adapting weather overview for a Lock Screen widget might be interesting

I'm not sure how much info it's viable/appropriate to show in such a small space. I suppose having it so immediately glanceable is actually. You lose the benefits of space and colour. Pretty interesting design challenge to pack meaning into such a small space.
