This error is coming, but the tutorial doesn't get the error

Hey, y’all. I got this error for a weather app I am doing. The error is:

I know it is because I am force unwrapping an object, but how can I fix the error? My app loses all functionality if I can’t fix this. Thanks!

Which line is it? I see it’s like 103 but the forum doesn’t show line numbers.

@mikaelacaron
I have marked the line with the error, sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi everyone! I’ve tried many other solutions as well, but for some reason, it doesn’t seem to work for me. Does anyone have another solution?

You’re force unwrapping the URL, what url are you passing to this function?

You can use breakpoints to determine that this is the object that’s getting force unwrapped but has nil inside it

@mikaelacaron
Hi, sorry for the late response. The url I am passing is the API call. This is the error code I am getting:

Weather/CityViewViewModel.swift:103: Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

(lldb) 

My GitHub repository: Github Link

When you are optional or force unwrapping it could returns nil, that is what is causing the error.
