I guess we will need to find another weather source?

As an Android user, very unhappy with Apple who are going to kill the Android app in a few months, and stop API usage next year.

What alternatives do we have? Just tried AccuWeather, but after setting it up nothing seemed to happen?

I too am an Android user and it was the best, most accurate app that I have tried, and I've tried a lot.

Speaking of weather, what is the location format (lat-long) for the Accuweather virtual device?

If your configuration has a PWS with capability of uploading meteodata to an organisation, PWSWeather may be an alternative for the Darksky API.
They have the AerisWeather Contributor Plan | PWSWeather
Set1 = RPI-Zero+RFXCom433+S0PCM+Shield for BMP180/DS18B20/RS485+DDS238-1ZNs
Set2 = RPI-3A++RFLinkGTW+ESP8266s+PWS_WS7000
Common = KAKUs+3*PVLogger+PWS_TFA_Nexus
plus series of 'satellites' for dedicated interfacing, monitoring & control.
