This app work well but i found a problem that when you open chat screen and the app load old message, because you use the observer for adding child so it will make the tableview update for each message. So when the conversation have about 1000 message or more (its possible) it call the update function 1000 times, its bad, the app may freeze or crash. Hope you can improve it.

Hi, meanwhile great work !!!
I would like to know how to implement 3 things ...

1. Notify when a message arrives;
2. Send audio message;
3. Delete the conversation.

Always if you can ...
I follow you and look forward to the next version ... possible release date?

I think you should add the ability to block someone

Hello aslanyaik, I love this project so much. It's by far the best chat project on github. But I use a parse heroku server. Heroku server but in the parse language. Is it possible to implement this project with the parse language.

Hello. Thanks for this great app but I have one issue. When I want to log in and tap the profile picture button the app crashes. What am I doing wrong?

I get this "thread 1: EXC_breakpoint code=1 subcode 0x1007951fc"

When I enter name, email and password and press Register button the loading circle appear and nothing happens.

I can signup and login, but nothing later. How to add a friend? Is it still a big bug?

i am looking for chat sdk which will work on android and ios where we can send text message,image,audio and video files with firebase as a back end.
so can we achieve all of this with quick-chat ? if not then what we should do to use quick chat for android also.

Due to a versionupdate on firebase your app receives warnings about FIBauth, should be Auth. If i convert the app, it doesn't seem to work.

Did as your readme, but 'Wrong input paramets' always show, whatever login or register.

I get this error while i try to compile the code, any suggestion or solustion???

Hello Aslan,

Thank you for the amazing app, the app was working fine but it suddenly gave me this error and keep crashing:

Seems like everytime the ChatVC is loaded, we call firebase for message content, is that right?

Is there anyway to implement a cache?

Thanks for the great example. But, I do not know exactly how to use it. After I logged in and tried starting conversation, the message always you seem alone in the world. Is there anyone who can instruct how to use the app?

Firebase security rules should ideally be provided with the source code, otherwise the app is essentially useless.

When you send message the app crashes and gives you

fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

Stucked on the loading preview as show below

Nothing happen when I input my email and pwd.

"Sign in" && "Reguster" all give no response.

I am new to the Ios developent and
As instructions given in readme file i followed and installed project after updating pods i am getting error in code related to firebase the error is saying that

"FIRAuth is change to Auth and FIRDatabase change to Database"

when i try to change FIRAuth to Auth another errors start coming.
when i was updating the pod file message was showing that Firebase(4.8.2) was 3.10.0
that may have cause this problem.
what would be the possible solution for this problem any suggestion will be helpful.

after launch an app and login the app crash .

I looked all over the app and can't find an add friend button, this is so strange.

I am new to firebase, I guess the readme does not cover the things like creating user database in firebase and other things required for the app to be fully functional

My friend and I followed all the steps but..... we can register and login, but then nothing. When you want to start a new conversation, "Seems like you are alone in this world". This is the only thing we can see. If you give me your email, I can send you the screen shot. Maybe there are still some big bug...

When i run it it stuck on landing screen and shows error in class AppDelegates, how to fix it?

Thread 1: signal SIGABRT

When i download it and try to fix the issues for swift 4, there is no problem with it... but when i try to compile it it crashed at the launch screen... any solution????

Can you please help me integrate the blocking mechanism inside this app?
Thank you

Hi ,

Hello. Good program. Just learning swift. I am running Xcode 8.2.1. When I run your program, I get an error - Could not cast value of type 'NSNULL' to "NSDictionary'. Seems to stop in User.swift - Class Func info - let data = snapshot.value as! [String: String].

Have any ideas

Thanks,

Ron

When I run the app it crashes in launch screen ? Ca you please check why it happen like this ?

Hello,

How could this be modified to show all messages sent to a user instead of just the private messages sent from the current user?

Thank you

Hey when I try to register, it shows the wrong paramets warning label everytime.
How to solve this?

I am using Xcode9 beta and iOS 11 beta, running the app will be fine.
But after I registered 2 users through my email.The avatar, Name, E-mail Label is empty in the leftBarButtonItem in Nav Controller, I don't know why.Also, the feather icon on the right isn't work.
For example, I logout my user A and login user B, when I click the feather icon it will show my user A by common sense, but it says Seems like you're alone in this world.
It is very strange, but after waiting for short time, it shows my user A.
I think that there will be some problem form my network connecting.
!!!The importing thing is that, even click in the user A, the app crashed when I tried to chat with user A
The report are shown as follows:

Quick Cut -> Model -> User.swift -> (Line 106)downloadAllUsers

let credentials = data["credentials"] as! [String: String]

Thread 1: EXC_BREAKPOINT (code=1, subcode=0x1010e0fe8)

There must be some bugs in the model.HELP Please migrate to the new Xcode version and fix these bugs.Thank you.😁

Registration is stuck on infinite loop.

the app is working fine but i have some kind of advise what if we have 1000 user and i want to contact a specific user? i think every chat app should have the option of delete message

Hi,
