Hello Friends!
So I am getting back into things after 2 years, and it seems xCode may have gone through an update? Any ways, I am following along the steps via the Firebase Auth YouTube video from July 24, 2019. My login was working and capturing in Firebase, now it is not. Also - when I do hit sign up, it does not take me to the ‘Welcome’ screen. Here are my errors i am receiving. I can for the life of me figure out the fix!
Thank you!
Welcome to the community!
Can you show me the screenshot for transitionToHome?
It seems like you’re missing a piece here and there rather than this being an Xcode update
But yes either way Xcode updates every year with changes and that can make it difficult to follow older tutorials sometimes (depending on the update)
here is my constant view as well
Can you paste the whole VC? I’m thinking the function might be on the wrong place
Paste your code in as text, rather than providing a screenshot.
To format the code nicely, place 3 back-ticks ``` on the line above your code and 3 back-ticks ``` on the line below your code. The 3 back-ticks must be the ONLY characters on the line. The back-tick character is located on the same keyboard key as the tilde character ~ (which is located below the Esc key). You can also highlight an entire code block and click the </> button on the toolbar to wrap the block for you.
This also makes it easier for anyone assisting as they can copy the code and carry out some testing.
Ah yeap, sorry! Probably easier if i started that way too. Thank you!
