I have just begun using MessageKit and have updated my code to 4.2 in swift and have been solving the problems. Yet, I am using the Firebase chat tutorial and have come across problems in the sample code that are throwing errors that aren't visible in the sample project.



Cannot convert value of type '_?' to expected argument type 'URL?'



        completion(meta?.downloadURL())

  • It's related to your storage library not MessageKit

  • Please update your question to include all relevant code in the form of a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example. What is the type signature of completion? What is the type of meta?

Assuming that your problem is probably the following



storage.child(channelID).child(imageName).putData(data, metadata: metadata) { meta, error in
completion(meta?.downloadURL())
}


Answer, swift 4



storage.child(channelID).child(imageName).putData(data, metadata: metadata) { metaN, error in
// then we check if the metadata and path exist
// if the error was nil, we expect the metadata and path to exist
// therefore if not, we return an error
guard let metadata = metaN, let path = metadata.path else {
completion(nil)
return
}
// now we get the download url using the path
// and the basic reference object (without child paths)
self.getDownloadURL(from: path, completion: completion)
}

private func getDownloadURL(from path: String, completion:@escaping (URL?) -> Void) {
let firebaseStorageUrl = "gs://yourApp-Firebase-Storage.appspot.com"
let storageReference = Storage.storage().reference(forURL: firebaseStorageUrl)
storageReference.child(path).downloadURL { (url, error) in
completion(url)
}
}


Be sure that you have enabled Storage in Firebase and check console errors if fails
