Blank screen first time launching app xcode - swift

I am having a little issue with logging into an app the first time with a blank screen and I am getting the warning "Attempt to present on whose view is not in the window hierarchy!" After I close and relaunch, the views appear fine. I believe it has something to do with the rootViewController but not sure... Thanks in advance for any help or direction!
App delegate
#UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
var ref:FIRDatabaseReference?
var databaseHandle:FIRDatabaseHandle?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
window?.rootViewController = MainNavigationController()
FIRApp.configure()
ref = FIRDatabase.database().reference()
return true
}
Navigation controller as rootViewController
class MainNavigationController: UINavigationController {
var segmentedController: UISegmentedControl!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let vc1 = TravelersFeedVC()
let vc2 = ProfileVC()
if isLoggedIn() {
// assume user is logged in
let homeController = HomeController()
viewControllers = [homeController]
homeController.firstViewController = vc1
homeController.secondViewController = vc2
} else {
perform(#selector(showLoginController), with: nil, afterDelay: 0.01)
}
}
fileprivate func isLoggedIn() -> Bool {
return UserDefaults.standard.isLoggedIn()
}
func showLoginController() {
let loginController = LoginController()
present(loginController, animated: true, completion: {
// perhaps do something here later
})
}
}
// log in function called
func finishLoggingIn() {
let rootViewController = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController
guard let mainNavigationController = rootViewController as? MainNavigationController else { return }
let vc1 = TravelersFeedVC()
let vc2 = ProfileVC()
if isLoggedIn() {
// assume user is logged in
let homeController = HomeController()
mainNavigationController.viewControllers = [HomeController()]
homeController.firstViewController = vc1
homeController.secondViewController = vc2
} else {
perform(#selector(showLoginController), with: nil, afterDelay: 0.01)
}
UserDefaults.standard.setIsLoggedIn(value: true)
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Ok, so my last answer was wrong (i deleted it), the things is that in app there is a keywindow, which is your navcontroller, and you cannot present anything on this one untill it will load its subviews (even if it hasn't any), and that would happend on viewdidappear, so you should put your code from viewdidload there.

remember user/password and auto login firebase - swift

Hi i have an application that connected to the Firebase and i have two viewController, first viewController is for log in , the second one is a tableViewController. i want to let user log in automatically when they open the application. i mean when they close the Application and open it again i want the Application log in the user automatically. I tried to use firebase documentation in AppDelegate firebase and i tried to use SwiftKeychainWrapper but it didn't help me.
this is my code for the logInController :
import UIKit
import Firebase
import FirebaseAuth
import FirebaseFirestore
class logInViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate, UITableViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet var userNameField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet var passwordField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet var logInButton: UIButton!
var db: Firestore!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
logInButton.layer.cornerRadius = 4.0
userNameField.delegate = self
passwordField.delegate = self
}
#IBAction func logInButtonClicked(_ sender: Any) {
Auth.auth().signIn(withEmail: (userNameField.text ?? ""), password: (passwordField.text ?? "")) { (result, error) in
if let _eror = error{
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Error", message: error!.localizedDescription, preferredStyle: .alert)
let okAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .default, handler: nil)
alert.addAction(okAction)
self.present(alert,animated: true)
print(_eror.localizedDescription)
}else{
if let _res = result{
print(_res)
}
let VC1 = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "order1") as! OrderTableViewController
self.navigationController!.pushViewController(VC1, animated: true)
}
}
}
}
this is my AppDelegate code :
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var db: Firestore!
var firebaseToken: String = ""
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
FirebaseApp.configure()
self.registerForFirebaseNotification(application: application)
Messaging.messaging().delegate = self
if Auth.auth().currentUser != nil {
//======
let homeController = OrderTableViewController()
self.window?.rootViewController = homeController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
} else {
let logInController = logInViewController()
self.window?.rootViewController = logInController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
return true
}
Firebase already persists the user credentials and restores them when the app restarts. But since this requires a call to the server, it happens asynchronously and probably hasn't completed yet by the time your Auth.auth().currentUser runs.
The solution is to use an auth state listener, as shown in the first snippet in the documentation on getting the current user:
handle = Auth.auth().addStateDidChangeListener { (auth, user) in
if user != nil {
let homeController = OrderTableViewController()
self.window?.rootViewController = homeController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
} else {
let logInController = logInViewController()
self.window?.rootViewController = logInController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
}
Firebase store all info about auth and user locality in phone.
try this code, it worked in my app
if let _ = Auth.auth().currentUser {
//======
// Load user data (profile) from firebase if needed
//======
let homeController = OrderTableViewController()
self.window?.rootViewController = homeController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
} else {
let rootController = firstViewController()
self.window?.rootViewController = rootController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
for use UserDefaults:
if let id = UserDefaults.standard.string (forKey: "userId") as? String, id != "" {
//======
// Load user data (profile) from firebase if needed
//======
let homeController = OrderTableViewController()
self.window?.rootViewController = homeController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
} else {
let rootController = firstViewController()
self.window?.rootViewController = rootController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
}

How to I go to the "login" ViewController if FirebaseAuth is null?

I am really new to Swift and have a really simple setup. There is a login screen and if the user logs in with correct credentials they go to the first VC in a tab bar.
The transition from login to the tab bar view controllers work fine but when I load the app I am not taken to the login screen if currentUser is nil.
Here is my check in the first VC in the tab bar:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
if Auth.auth().currentUser == nil {
goToLogin()
}
}
And this is the function in the same VC to go to login
func goToLogin() {
let loginViewController = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(identifier: Constants.Storyboard.loginViewController) as? LoginViewController
view.window?.rootViewController = loginViewController
view.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
The storyboard ID for my login VC is "loginViewController" and the Tab bar controller is my initial view controller
Update
My auth check in App Delegate looks like this:
if Auth.auth().currentUser == nil {
// considering the StoryboardID is same as View Controllers name.
self.makeRootVC(storyBoardName: "Main", vcName: Constants.Storyboard.loginViewController)
} else {
self.makeRootVC(storyBoardName: "Main", vcName: Constants.Storyboard.homeTabBarController)
}
But I am getting this error from the "homeTabBarController":
Type 'Constants.Storyboard' has no member 'homeTabBarController'
homeTabBarController is the StoryboardId for my tab bar controller in the Main storyboard. So why is it not being recognized?
You should do this check in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions in AppDelegate not in ViewController. You can use the below function to change your root view controller.
In AppDelegate.swift
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
if Auth.auth().currentUser == nil {
// considering the StoryboardID is same as View Controllers name.
self.makeRootVC(storyBoardName: "Main", vcName: Constants.Storyboard.loginViewController)
} else {
self.makeRootVC(storyBoardName: "Main", vcName: Constants.Storyboard.yourTabBarController)
}
return true
}
func makeRootVC(storyBoardName : String, vcName : String) {
let vc = UIStoryboard(name: storyBoardName, bundle: Bundle.main).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: vcName)
let nav = UINavigationController(rootViewController: vc)
nav.navigationBar.isHidden = true
self.window?.rootViewController = nav
let options: UIView.AnimationOptions = .transitionCrossDissolve
let duration: TimeInterval = 0.6
UIView.transition(with: self.window!, duration: duration, options: options, animations: {}, completion: nil)
}

Swift: Passing managedObjectContext from AppDelegate to UINavigationController

I have some iOS project (Project) with an #escaping method in the AppDelegate that is used to create the NSPersistentContainer for this project. This method is then called within the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method as follows:
#UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
var persistentContainer: NSPersistentContainer!
func createProjectContainer(completion: #escaping (NSPersistentContainer) -> ()) {
let container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "Project")
container.loadPersistentStores { (_, error) in
guard error == nil else { fatalError("Failed to load store: \(error!)") }
DispatchQueue.main.async { completion(container) }
}
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
createProjectContainer { container in
self.persistentContainer = container
let storyboard = self.window?.rootViewController?.storyboard
guard let vc = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "NavigationController") as? NavigationController else {
fatalError("Cannot instantiate root view controller")
}
vc.managedObjectContext = container.viewContext
self.window?.rootViewController = vc
}
return true
}
}
The NavigationController class is simply a subclass of UINavigationController, which embeds a UIViewController (ChildViewController) and has an NSManagedObjectContext variable (managedObjectContext), which I want to pass to the first ChildViewController:
class NavigationController: UINavigationController {
var managedObjectContext: NSManagedObjectContext!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
guard let vc = self.childViewControllers.first as? ChildViewController else { fatalError("") }
vc.managedObjectContext = managedObjectContext
print("NavigationController: viewDidLoad")
print("managedObjectContext ---> \(managedObjectContext)")
}
}
Now the print("NavigationController: viewDidLoad") appears to be called twice. On the first call, managedObjectContext = nil, on the second call it has been assigned. Does this matter that the app is loading this twice?
It seems to be happening during the storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "NavigationController") which is called after the first time that NavigationController has been loaded due to the #escaping property of the closure. However, if I exclude that line, as just get the reference to the NavigationController the managedObjectContext appears never to be assigned.

iOS firebase: FIRAuthUIDelegate.authUI not being called

I am trying to launch google login from AppDelegate.swift and then launch my app's main screen upon login success.
I am able to
show the google login button as shown above
the user is sent to google to sign in
the user is sent back to original (step 1)
After step 3. I'd like to send the user to my app's main page.
My code is below. The problem I'm having is that authUI is not being called.
#UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, FIRAuthUIDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
var authUI: FIRAuthUI?
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
FIRApp.configure()
authUI = FIRAuthUI.defaultAuthUI()
authUI?.delegate = self
let providers: [FIRAuthProviderUI] = [FIRGoogleAuthUI()]
authUI?.providers = providers
// show google login button
let authViewController = authUI?.authViewController()
self.window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds)
self.window?.rootViewController = authViewController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
return true
}
func application(application: UIApplication, openURL url: NSURL, options: [String: AnyObject]) -> Bool {
return GIDSignIn.sharedInstance().handleURL(url, sourceApplication: options[UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsSourceApplicationKey] as? String, annotation: options[UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsAnnotationKey])
}
func authUI(authUI: FIRAuthUI, didSignInWithUser user: FIRUser?, error: NSError?) {
// launch main view controller
}
}
EDIT: This appears to be a duplicate of another question. The other question's title is quite general and only gets to the details a few lines deep. In any case, I believe Chris's answer is more thorough than the one there. I think both the question and answers here are clearer, more pointed and more thorough so it would be a mistake to just direct people here to go there as would happen if this was marked as a duplicate.
I think your problem lies here, in the - (void)signInWithProviderUI:(id<FIRAuthProviderUI>)providerUI method.
The delegate method is called in the dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion: completion block.
[self.navigationController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
[self.authUI invokeResultCallbackWithUser:user error:error];
}];
As you can see from the Apple docs, this method is expected to be called on a modally presented viewController. You are displaying it as a root view controller. Try displaying it with a modal from a UIViewController, and things should work out. To debug this try and set a breakpoint at line 193 to see that it won't get hit. I would be very surprised if this doesn't work when you display the authController modally.
To come up with a possible solution to your problem (I am assuming you want to ensure a user is signed in before using your app). The below is a simplification of what I am using in an app currently.
EDIT: Updated for the new 1.0.0 FirebaseUI syntax.
class MainTabController: UITabBarController, FIRAuthUIDelegate {
let authUI: FUIAuth? = FUIAuth.defaultAuthUI()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
var authProviders = [FUIFacebookAuth(), FUIGoogleAuth()]
authUI.delegate = self
authUI.providers = authProviders
//I use this method for signing out when I'm developing
//try! FIRAuth.auth()?.signOut()
}
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
if !isUserSignedIn() {
showLoginView()
}
}
private func isUserSignedIn() -> Bool {
guard FIRAuth.auth()?.currentUser != nil else { return false }
return true
}
private func showLoginView() {
if let authVC = FUIAuth.defaultAuthUI()?.authViewController() {
present(authVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
func authUI(_ authUI: FUIAuth, didSignInWith user: FIRUser?, error: Error?) {
guard let user = user else {
print(error)
return
}
...
}
It must be a problem of reference.
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, FIRAuthUIDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
let authUI = FIRAuthUI.defaultAuthUI()
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
FIRApp.configure()
authUI.delegate = self
let providers: [FIRAuthProviderUI] = [FIRGoogleAuthUI()]
authUI.providers = providers
// show google login button
let authViewController = authUI.authViewController()
self.window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds)
self.window?.rootViewController = authViewController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
return true
}
}
Try this. AppDelegate will hold the reference of authUI and its delegate.

Swift project not segue-ing properly after Facebook login

The initial ViewController, LoginViewController.swift:
import UIKit
class LoginViewController: UIViewController, FBSDKLoginButtonDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do view setup here.
if (FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken() != nil)
{
// User is already logged in, do work such as go to next view controller.
performSegueWithIdentifier("loginSegue", sender: nil)
print("segued due to login")
}
else
{
let loginView : FBSDKLoginButton = FBSDKLoginButton()
self.view.addSubview(loginView)
loginView.center = self.view.center
loginView.readPermissions = ["public_profile", "user_friends"]
loginView.delegate = self
}
}
func loginButton(loginButton: FBSDKLoginButton!, didCompleteWithResult result: FBSDKLoginManagerLoginResult!, error: NSError!) {
print("User Logged In")
if ((error) != nil)
{
// Process error
}
else if result.isCancelled {
// Handle cancellations
}
else {
// If you ask for multiple permissions at once, you
// should check if specific permissions missing
performSegueWithIdentifier("loginSegue", sender: nil)
/*
if result.grantedPermissions.contains("email")
{
// Do work
}
*/
}
}
func loginButtonDidLogOut(loginButton: FBSDKLoginButton!) {
print("User Logged Out")
}
}
"segued due to login" is printed to the terminal upon starting up the app every time, so the if-statement is clearly being reached and also the performSegueWithIdentifier() line. However, the segue is not actually performed as the LoginViewController stays on the screen and the next ViewController is not displayed. I have also tried adding the line:
performSegueWithIdentifier("loginSegue", sender: nil)
in several other locations I know the program is reaching, like right after super.viewDidLoad(). So, the problem seems to be specific to the segue and the problem does not seem to be with Facebook's login.
I have included a screenshot of the storyboard with the segue's attributes:
I can include any other files if needed. I also suspect it could be a similar type bug as this stackoverflow problem. I have tried deleting the placeholders in my UITextViews in all of my ViewControllers, but this did not solve the problem.
Ok so here's how your application:didFinishLaunching:withOptions should look like.
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
FBSDKApplicationDelegate.sharedInstance().application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
let mainStoryboard = UIStoryboard.init(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
self.window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds)
var initialViewController: UIViewController
if(FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken() != nil){
let vc = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("someOtherViewController") as! SomeOtherViewController
initialViewController = vc
}else{
initialViewController = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("loginViewController")
}
self.window?.rootViewController = initialViewController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
return true
}
