Fetching new information after app wasn't used for a while.

[IvicaDuspara]

Bug description:
I didn't access the application for ~2 week(s) (possibly 3). I didn't forcefully stop it and I didn't update it in mean time.
It is my understanding that when you don't access the app for a while (1 week or more) it will have to download the newest weather data.

When I entered the app after aforementioned period I had the following screen:

You will notice that the time and date on the phone are 2023-03-22, 15:57 CET (UTC + 1). On the bottom of the screenshot, future dates displayed are Thursday, March 30th twice and Friday, March 31st once.

When I opened the sidebar and clicked on the same location again (Zagreb) I got the following screen:

This time, I received a full information package -> one week in advance.

What was tested:

• I tried catching this bug by opening the app everyday. It didn't work. I'm guessing it has to be left in background for a period longer than a week.
• I once caught the bug while using Wi-Fi network instead of mobile data. I don't think that's related.
• Refreshing by repeatedly spamming scroll up doesn't work. I have to pick the location option.

What wasn't tested:

• If different weather data provider(s) result in the same bug
• If different locations result in the same bug

What an excellent bug report 👏 Thank you very much.

I saw this happen once on an emulator, but I thought it was its fault. Guess not 😄 I'll check this out during the redesign, as it will change the data model significantly.

To answer some questions:

• The app tries to pull new data after the cache is ~1-2h old. 2 weeks should definitely have triggered a pull.
• WiFi vs mobile data should not matter, yes. The code does not prefer either one.
• Pulling down the main screen doesn't trigger a refresh. Entering the app from the background or selecting a location from the sidebar does. This is why the data refreshed when you selected the same location, but I'm not sure why entering the app didn't work.

same for me. (sometimes?) on open, hourly and next days data not available for a while. app could really use a swipe refresh and maybe a rate limit added. also on start it should update faster
