Your voice tone is very calm and we can easily hear every word as you speaks. Great video! thank you for explaining in detail!

[kavinda_dilshan_paramsoodi]

You speak in English slowly intentionally so nonnative English speakers can easily understand what you say. That's awesome. And thank you for that. It doesn't matter whether the video is gonna take so long or not. we don't give a s**t about that. So do every video like this rhythm so we can understand it better. The way you're currently doing things is right. And also you go through steps bit slowly compared to other YouTubers and that's also good because we can clearly see each step and I love it. Thanks, Chris. There are only two YouTube channels I like the most when it comes to SwiftUI. One of them is yours. So, you should be proud of yourself. Good Luck. :)

Hey after creating a firestore database I received an error with sandbox, how do I fix this?

[abrahimmahmud]

Hey, Chirs! Can you make an up to date tutorial on how to authenticate using google sign in? There have been some updates in the documentation and I've been having a rough time getting around it or finding an up to date tutorial.
