Making a Social Media App: Episode 4 (Swift in Xcode)

In this episode we are finally putting the data into the cells. This will give the app more of the normal social media feel, but we are not done yet. We successfully will see how the data is put in our database and then shown in the app. My camera died, so I wasn’t able to get everything I wanted to get done in this video. Sorry about the camera I am learning new things all the time, so each video gets better.

As always if you like the video please give it a thumbs up. If you want to see the next episode in this series, and it is not out please subscribe, so you don’t miss it when it comes out.

If you have any questions on computer programming, or anything to do with programming please reach out to me on any of my social media accounts I would love to help. #the_kaseys

I have 26 errors by the end of this video. Following exactly instructions. A bit annoying how it's like that in Swift, since I guess this is old Swift 3 or whatever.

Good stuff! I am a beginner so sometime its a bit to fast for me and more explaining would be nice.

Awesome videos! I accidentally deleted the users section in the realtime database. I don't recall adding that during the whole tutorial manually so I'm not sure how to get it back. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hey kasey (is that your name aha)?

before this episode (after ep 2) everything was working exactly how yours is; however, after completing this episode, where that post should be showing up, there is just white... I have set everything up 100% right including firebase as well, trust me I checked.. There's also no errors.. One thing I did notice, was that in the Firebase database tab I made it so there was the number of likes and image url, but when running the app, none of that showed up in the console/log..

Please help as I'm really wanting to proceed :)

hello, at 26:07 you were about to fix the problem but I think your camera died and it was never shown in this video. I am getting the "found nil while implicitly unwrapping an optional value" at the line when we return the _userImg in the Post.swift file. I have tried making the _userImg variable optional instead of force unwrapping like how it is done in this video but it still doesn't seem to to work. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

[ingongoyama]

Could you please clarify more on what to do about the error with return _userImg
