Upload an image from device to firebase - swift

Question

I have been trying to use the code that Firebase documents provide and this is how much I have developed it. It just doesn't work. I have tried putting Storage.storage().reference() but it brings in more error to my code.
let downloadURL: String!
if let imageData = selectedImage.jpegData(compressionQuality: 0.2){
let imgUid = NSUUID().uuidString
let uploadTask = storage.reference().putData(imageData, metadata: nil) { (metadata, error) in
guard let metadata = metadata else {
return
}
downloadURL = metadata.downloadURL
The error I receive is use of unidentified resolver storage. But when I try Storage.storage().reference() it brings in 10 different error throughout my code.

Well, I don't know whats going on but, this works for me,
Make sure your pods has at least these in there.
PODFILE
pod 'Firebase/Storage'
pod 'Firebase/Auth' #Auth isn't needed but, you should really use it.
View controller
import UIKit
import FirebaseStorage
class TestView: UIViewController {
var imageView: UIImageView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
imageView = UIImageView()
}
#IBAction func uploadPicture(_ sender: Any) {
self.imageView.image = #imageLiteral(resourceName: "playlist.png")
uploadMedia() { url in
guard let url = url else { return }
print(url)
}
}
func uploadMedia(completion: #escaping (_ url: String?) -> Void) {
let storageRef = Storage.storage().reference().child("something.png")
if let uploadData = self.imageView.image?.pngData(){ //You can change this to jpeg, etc
storageRef.putData(uploadData, metadata: nil) { (metadata, error) in
if error != nil {
print("error")
completion(nil)
} else {
storageRef.downloadURL(completion: { (url, error) in
print(url?.absoluteString)
completion(url?.absoluteString)
})
}
}}}
}
