I knew it was Peter! … am subscribed to his channel and his voice sounds like the villain from the movie Die Hard with Vengeance

What’s his channel called?

Lovely tutorial. A lot of materials and techniques learnt. Keep good work. One suggestion is to have a framework/methodologies summarised at end and start of the tutorial. Many thanks for efforts made.....

Awesome videos. Just learning SwiftUI now, but had a question. Liked adding chat to my project and followed your series here, but now need to pull additional data from Firebase but cannot find workaround for your “FirebaseManager” file var “currentUser: ChatUser? I want a separate call say UserProfile? That pulls even more data. Running into a compile error. Can I implement multiple vars that read from a different “ChatUser:Codable, identifiable “

[@johnnyadkins9312]

Never mind. I’m an idiot. Keep up good work. 😀

guys, what about send an image with message? where is it? thank

[@sl0wsn0w]

Hey. First of all thank you for your videos. I learned a lot from them. I have an issue with my Xcode (13.2.1). Maybe you can help me? I am not able to use my keyboard in life preview (Canvas). In simulator is everything ok, but when I run preview it won't work. Looking forward to hear from you.

Same issue but I ignore. I use simulator

[@toyohisakuroda8449]

mine is working perfectly fine on canvas but not on the simulator, it got stuck in the login page and won't login to main message page. how you guys get your simulator working?

I might open up some paid office sessions for folks that need help, let me know if you're interested.

[@mysterouis30]

@@LetsBuildThatApp I’m definitely interested, I’ve been stuck at this problem for a while.

Hey, Did you find the solution?

[@yakitorisamurai3583]

add a ? on the try. if let rm = try? change.document.data(as: RecentMessage.self) { self.recentMessages.insert(rm, at: 0) }

[@hide-kun1660]

Well, all you have to do is remove if else conditions and it worked for me!! If I’m correct, new swift versions or updates doesn’t require you to use if else condition to use that initialization.

Not that anybody would care, but I accomplished something similar without downloading a dependency in a previous application with: let jsonData = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: snap.data(), options: []) let item = try JSONDecoder().decode(BusinessInfoModel.self, from: jsonData) To send the data, I added the following function inside my structs: var asDictionary : [String:Any] { let mirror = Mirror(reflecting: self) let dict = Dictionary(uniqueKeysWithValues: mirror.children.lazy.map({ (label:String?, value:Any) -> (String, Any)? in guard let label = label else { return nil } return (label, value) }).compactMap { $0 }) return dict }

[@LetsBuildThatApp]

I did something similar to this in the past, good to have Firestore libraries handle this out of the box now.
