Hey,

had the same error and found it!

The error is that you have a space in the location string!

First I had: 

let location = "48.277593, 12.160272"

and the app crashed - but without the space

let location = "48.277593,12.160272"

all worked just fine.

Hope this helped!

This is the issue I was having. Pasan said we could copy and past the location data from Google and just copy and pasting it ends up introducing a very hard to spot space in the final "forecastURL".

Try this line of code:

let dataObject = NSData(contentsOfURL: forcastUrl)

The error that I'm getting is on the forcatsUrl. I don't know why this is happening.

let forcastURL = NSURL(string: "00.000000, __ -00.000000", relativeToURL: baseURL)

REMOVE SPACE __ and replace to

let forcastURL = NSURL(string: "00.000000,-00.000000", relativeToURL: baseURL)
