It will continue to be available for purchase in the App Store. The Dark Sky website will remain active beyond that time in support of API and iOS App customers. And since Dark Sky is now owned by Apple, the privacy terms also change. &ldquo;As part of this transition, the use of Dark Sky by the company is subject to the Apple Privacy Policy, which can be found at apple.com\/privacy.&rdquo;&nbsp;Also Read &#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.in\/news\/historic-antitrust-hearing-what-amazon-facebook-google-apple-ceos-said-us-congress-905882\/\">Historic Antitrust hearing: Here&rsquo;s what Amazon, Facebook, Google, Apple CEOs said<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Our API service for existing customers is not changing today, but we will no longer accept new signups.
