weather Watch face isn't refreshing

I designed a watch face with weather widget using openweathermap and under app/index.js using setInterval(weatherProcess, 30 * 1000 * 60); 

Still it doesn't seem to be refreshing, had to open the app every time and setup Wifi even though i have location set to always and everything else enabled.

 

Suggestion would be appriciated.

Make sure you give the app on your device `run in background`. It could be trying to run in your interval and failing because the fitbit app is not allowed to run while not open. In order for your fitbit to access the weather API, it has to open a socket with the fitbit app on your phone to make the call to the weather api.

I have checked all the necessary options check including "run in background", not sure if it is because of iPhone and not android ?
