Why does the CKFetchRecordsOperation not work? - swift

This operation does not retrieve anything. The CkFetchRecordsCOmpletion block does not get called? Thanks for your time!
public func getRecord(recordID: CKRecord.ID, completion: #escaping (CKRecord?, CKError?) -> Void) {
let operation = CKFetchRecordsOperation(recordIDs: [recordID])
operation.fetchRecordsCompletionBlock = { (records, error) in
// Checking for potential errors
if let error = error {
completion(nil, error as? CKError)
print(error)
}
if let record = records?[recordID] {
completion(record, nil)
}
}
operation.qualityOfService = .utility
let privateDatabase = CKContainer(identifier: "something").privateCloudDatabase
privateDatabase.add(operation)
}

Completion not working with Firebase Database

The user can upload a profile picture and some information about himself in my app.
I want to write the url of the uploaded picture in firebase realtime database but it takes the placeholder text "testentry" and not the real url. Why does my completion not work here?
var imagePicker: UIImagePickerController!
var urltoPicture = "testentry"
#IBAction func updateProfile(_ sender: UIButton) {
uploadPic(arg: true, completion: { (success) -> Void in
if success {
linkUbertragen()
} else {
}
})
func uploadPic(arg: Bool, completion: #escaping (Bool) -> ()) {
guard let imageSelected = self.image else {
//print("ok")
return
}
guard let imageData = imageSelected.jpegData(compressionQuality: 0.1) else {
return
}
let storageRef = Storage.storage().reference(forURL: "gs://h......com")
let storageProfileRef = storageRef.child("profilePictures").child(Auth.auth().currentUser!.uid)
let metadata = StorageMetadata()
metadata.contentType = "image/jpg"
storageProfileRef.putData(imageData, metadata: metadata, completion: {
(storageMetadata, error) in
if error != nil {
//print(error?.localizedDescription)
return
}
storageProfileRef.downloadURL(completion: { (url, error) in
if let metaImageURL = url?.absoluteString {
print(metaImageURL)
self.urltoPicture = metaImageURL
}
})
})
completion(arg)
}
func linkUbertragen(){
ref = Database.database().reference()
let userID = Auth.auth().currentUser!.uid
ref.child("user/\(userID)").updateChildValues(["profileText": profileText.text!])
print(urltoPicture)
ref.child("user/\(userID)").updateChildValues(["picture": urltoPicture])
}
self.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
}
This is a very common mistake. You have to call completion inside the (final) closure.
And it is good practice to call completion(false) always in case of an error – even better to return and handle all errors
func uploadPic(arg: Bool, completion: #escaping (Bool) -> ()) {
guard let imageSelected = self.image else {
//print("ok")
completion(false); return
}
guard let imageData = imageSelected.jpegData(compressionQuality: 0.1) else {
completion(false); return
}
let storageRef = Storage.storage().reference(forURL: "gs://h......com")
let storageProfileRef = storageRef.child("profilePictures").child(Auth.auth().currentUser!.uid)
let metadata = StorageMetadata()
metadata.contentType = "image/jpg"
storageProfileRef.putData(imageData, metadata: metadata, completion: {
(storageMetadata, error) in
if error != nil {
//print(error?.localizedDescription)
completion(false); return
}
storageProfileRef.downloadURL(completion: { (url, error) in
if let metaImageURL = url?.absoluteString {
print(metaImageURL)
self.urltoPicture = metaImageURL
completion(true)
} else {
completion(false)
}
})
})
}
The arg parameter is actually not needed.

Cannot share with UICloudSharingController; vanishes with "uploading" message

while presenting the UICloudSharingController on top of a view, it presents the screen and when I select the messages option to send a message to a person whom I want to share with, it gives a spinning wheel with "uploading" message and vanishes - attached.
However when I go to cloudkit dashboard the root record has been shared. But I cannot share it with specific person. Is it because it has shared global? How can I fix it?
self.shareInfraRecord(zoneID: appDelegate.privateContactZoneID, completion: { (status) in
if ( status == false) {
return
}
})
func shareInfraRecord(zoneID: CKRecordZone.ID, completion: #escaping(Bool) -> Void) {
if let rootRecord = self.rootRecord {
if self.rootRecord?.share == nil {
let sharingController = UICloudSharingController { (controller, preparationHandler: #escaping (CKShare?, CKContainer?, Error?) -> Void) in
let shareID = CKRecord.ID(recordName: UUID().uuidString, zoneID: zoneID)
var share = CKShare(rootRecord: rootRecord, shareID: shareID)
share[CKShare.SystemFieldKey.title] = Cloud.ShareInfrastructure.ContactShareTitleKey as CKRecordValue?
share[CKShare.SystemFieldKey.shareType] = Cloud.ShareInfrastructure.ContactShareTypeKey as CKRecordValue?
let modifyRecZoneOp = CKModifyRecordsOperation(recordsToSave:[rootRecord, share], recordIDsToDelete: nil)
modifyRecZoneOp.modifyRecordsCompletionBlock = { (records, recordID, error) in
if error != nil {
if let ckerror = error as? CKError {
if let serverVersion = ckerror.serverRecord as? CKShare {
share = serverVersion
}
completion(false)
}
}
preparationHandler(share, self.defaultContainer, error)
}
self.privateDB?.add(modifyRecZoneOp)
}
sharingController.availablePermissions = [.allowReadOnly, .allowPrivate]
sharingController.delegate = self
sharingController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = self.view
self.present(sharingController, animated:true, completion:nil)
} else {
let shareRecordID = rootRecord.share!.recordID
let fetchRecordsOp = CKFetchRecordsOperation(recordIDs: [shareRecordID])
fetchRecordsOp.fetchRecordsCompletionBlock = { recordsByRecordID, error in
guard error == nil, let share = recordsByRecordID?[shareRecordID] as? CKShare else {
if let ckerror = error as? CKError {
self.aErrorHandler.handleCkError(ckerror: ckerror)
//self.saveToCloudKitStatus(recordName: myRecordName, success: false)
}
completion(false)
return
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
let sharingController = UICloudSharingController(share: share, container: self.defaultContainer!)
completion(true)
//completionHandler(sharingController)
}
}
self.privateDB?.add(fetchRecordsOp)
}
}
}
This might be a bit late but I was running into this issue too, while using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer and it seems the issue was just making sure that my iCloud container name in the Capabilities section of the settings matched my app bundle name ie iCloud.com.goddamnyouryan.MyApp

Update two fields at once with updateData

I am changing my online status with this code:
static func online(for uid: String, status: Bool, success: #escaping (Bool) -> Void) {
//True == Online, False == Offline
let db = Firestore.firestore()
let lastTime = Date().timeIntervalSince1970
let onlineStatus = ["onlineStatus" : status]
let lastTimeOnline = ["lastTimeOnline" : lastTime]
let ref = db.collection("users").document(uid)
ref.updateData(lastTimeOnline) {(error) in
if let error = error {
assertionFailure(error.localizedDescription)
success(false)
}
success(true)
}
ref.updateData(onlineStatus) {(error) in
if let error = error {
assertionFailure(error.localizedDescription)
success(false)
}
success(true)
}
}
I update the lastTimeOnline and the onlineStatus.
I listen to this updates via:
// Get the user online offline status
func getUserOnlineStatus(completion: #escaping (Dictionary<String, Any>) -> Void) {
let db = Firestore.firestore()
db.collection("users").addSnapshotListener { (querySnapshot, error) in
guard let snapshot = querySnapshot else {
print("Error fetching snapshots: \(error!)")
return
}
snapshot.documentChanges.forEach { diff in
if (diff.type == .modified) {
//GETS CALLED TWICE BUT I ONLY WANT ONCE
print("modified called..")
guard let onlineStatus = diff.document.get("onlineStatus") as? Bool else {return}
guard let userId = diff.document.get("uid") as? String else {return}
var userIsOnline = Dictionary<String, Any>()
userIsOnline[userId] = [onlineStatus, "huhu"]
completion(userIsOnline)
}
}
}
}
The problem is now, since I use ref.updateData twice, my SnapshotListener .modified returns the desired data twice.
How can I update two fields in a single call, so my .modified just return one snapshot?
You can try to combine them
let all:[String:Any] = ["onlineStatus" : status ,"lastTimeOnline" : lastTime]
let ref = db.collection("users").document(uid)
ref.updateData(all) {(error) in
if let error = error {
assertionFailure(error.localizedDescription)
success(false)
}
success(true)
}

a function does internet fetching and return a value

I know the following piece of code is wrong, but I want to show my intent.
I want to write a method that will be called by multiple times. and this fetching method will tell me if it is successfully reached.
func fetch(url: String) -> Bool? {
let defaultSession = URLSession(configuration: URLSessionConfiguration.default)
let url = URL(string: url)
var bool: Bool? = nil
if let url = url {
defaultSession.dataTask(with: url, completionHandler: { data, response, error in
if let error = error {
print(error)
return
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
if let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse, 200...299 ~= httpResponse.statusCode, let data = data {
// handle the data.
bool = true
} else {
print("something really wrong")
bool = false
}
}
}).resume()
}
return bool
}
if let bool = fetch(url: "https://www.google.com.hk/webhp?hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwimubK7r-HVAhVFmZQKHazMAMMQPAgD"), bool == true {
// if it is true, I can go for next step.
}
Making the UI wait on completion of some API call is not recommended. The app will have no control over how long that API call will take. Situations with bad network connectivity can take several seconds to respond.
You can handle a situation like this is to use a completion handler.
func fetch(url: String, completion: #escaping (_ success: Bool) -> Void) {
let defaultSession = URLSession(configuration: URLSessionConfiguration.default)
let url = URL(string: url)
if let url = url {
defaultSession.dataTask(with: url, completionHandler: { data, response, error in
if let error = error {
print(error)
return
}
if let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse, 200...299 ~= httpResponse.statusCode, let data = data {
// handle the data.
completion(true)
} else {
print("something really wrong")
completion(false)
}
}).resume()
}
}
func testFetch () {
fetch(url: "https://www.google.com.hk/webhp?hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwimubK7r-HVAhVFmZQKHazMAMMQPAgD") { (success) in
// if it is true, I can go for next step.
DispatchQueue.main.async {
if success {
// it was good
}
else {
// not good
}
}
}
}

Nested dataTaskWithRequest in Swift tvOS

I'm a C# developer convert to Swift tvOs and just starting to learn. I've made some progress, but not sure how to handle nested calls to json. The sources are from different providers so I can't just combine the query.
How do I wait for the inner request to complete so the TVSeries has the poster_path? Is there a better way to add the show to the collection and then process the poster path loading in another thread so it doesn't delay the UI Experience?
func downloadTVData() {
let url_BTV = NSURL(string: BTV_URL_BASE)!
let request_BTV = NSURLRequest(URL: url_BTV)
let session_BTV = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
//get series data
let task_BTR = session_BTV.dataTaskWithRequest(request_BTV) { (data_BTV, response_BTV, error_BTV) -> Void in
if error_BTV != nil {
print (error_BTV?.description)
} else {
do {
let dict_BTV = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data_BTV!, options: .AllowFragments) as? Dictionary<String, AnyObject>
if let results_BTV = dict_BTV!["results"] as? [Dictionary<String, AnyObject>]{
for obj_BTV in results_BTV {
let tvshow = TVSeries(tvDict: obj_BTV)
//for each tv series try to load a poster_path from secondary provider
if let str = obj_BTV["title"] as? String!{
let escapedString = str?.stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters(.URLQueryAllowedCharacterSet())!
if let url = NSURL(string: self.SEARCH_URL_BASE + escapedString!) {
let request = NSURLRequest(URL: url)
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request) { (data, response, error) -> Void in
if error != nil {
print (error?.description)
} else {
do {
let dict = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: .AllowFragments) as? Dictionary<String, AnyObject>
if let results = dict!["results"] as? [Dictionary<String, AnyObject>] {
//iterate through the poster array
for obj in results {
if let path = obj["poster_path"] as? String {
tvshow.posterPath = path
break
}
}
}
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error.description)
}
}
}
task.resume()
}
}
self.tvSeries.append(tvshow)
}
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()){
self.collectionView.reloadData()
}
}
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error.description)
}
}
}
task_BTR.resume()
}
Thanks for your help!
I would recommend breaking things apart into multiple methods, with callbacks to sequence the operations, and utilizing Swift's built-in throws error handling mechanism. Here's an example, not perfect, but might help as a starting point:
class TVSeries
{
let title: String
var posterPath: String?
enum Error: ErrorType {
case MalformedJSON
}
init(tvDict: [String: AnyObject]) throws
{
guard let title = tvDict["title"] as? String else {
throw Error.MalformedJSON
}
self.title = title
}
static func loadAllSeries(completionHandler: [TVSeries]? -> Void)
{
NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithURL(NSURL(string: BTV_URL_BASE)!) { data, response, error in
guard let data = data else {
print(error)
completionHandler(nil)
return
}
do {
completionHandler(try fromJSONData(data))
}
catch let error {
print(error)
}
}.resume()
}
static func fromJSONData(jsonData: NSData) throws -> [TVSeries]
{
guard let dict = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(jsonData, options: .AllowFragments) as? [String: AnyObject] else {
throw Error.MalformedJSON
}
guard let results = dict["results"] as? [[String: AnyObject]] else {
throw Error.MalformedJSON
}
return try results.map {
return try TVSeries(tvDict: $0)
}
}
func loadPosterPath(completionHandler: () -> Void)
{
guard let searchPath = title.stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters(.URLQueryAllowedCharacterSet()) else {
completionHandler()
return
}
let url = NSURL(string: SEARCH_URL_BASE)!.URLByAppendingPathComponent(searchPath)
NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithURL(url) { [weak self] data, response, error in
defer { completionHandler() }
guard let strongSelf = self else { return }
guard let data = data else {
print(error)
return
}
do {
strongSelf.posterPath = try TVSeries.posterPathFromJSONData(data)
}
catch let error {
print(error)
}
}.resume()
}
static func posterPathFromJSONData(jsonData: NSData) throws -> String?
{
guard let dict = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(jsonData, options: .AllowFragments) as? [String: AnyObject] else {
throw Error.MalformedJSON
}
guard let results = dict["results"] as? [[String: AnyObject]] else {
throw Error.MalformedJSON
}
for result in results {
if let path = result["poster_path"] as? String {
return path
}
}
return nil
}
}
It might also be worth your time to look into something like RxSwift or Alamofire, which help you with these kinds of data-conversion / sequencing operations.
