Failed to generate JWT token error WeatherKit

Thanks for reaching out. Is this still happening? If so, could you please reproduce the issue while having Console.app open?

You can stream logs from your device/simulator and filter on your app's process and the log category called "AuthService". WeatherKit will output more specific error logs when it fails to generate an auth token and these logs should be visible in Console.app.

If you are not familiar with Console.app, please read more here: https://support.apple.com/guide/console/find-log-messages-and-activities-cnslbf30b61a/mac

Thanks for the prompt response - I have done as you have suggested, but I don't really understand what the logs are telling me, it's very noisy. I will include some sample error logs here in case they are relevant otherwise can you guide me as to what specifically to be looking for in the logs?

Thanks for your reply with the detailed logs. Unfortunately we need more logs in order to diagnose the underlying issue.

Could you reproduce the issue and submit feedback through https://feedbackassistant.apple.com and attach a sysdiagnose from the device? Instructions can be found here: https://it-training.apple.com/tutorials/support/sup075/

Please reply back here with the feedback ID so we can look into it.

I have submitted the sysdiagnose, the reference is: FB16311482

Thanks for submitting it. Can you confirm you have enabled WeatherKit in the Developer Portal?

Under “Capabilities” as well as under “App Services”. It needs to be enabled both there as well as in Xcode.
