Firebase: Provided bucket does not match the Storage bucket of the current instance in Swift

Question

I have the following code:

let storageRef = FIRStorage().reference(forURL: "gs://slugbug-....appspot.com") // dots intentional
let imageRef = storageRef.child("testImage.jpg")

But the app crashes and I get the following message:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Provided bucket: slugbug-....appspot.com does not match the Storage bucket of the current instance: (null)'

Even if I use

let storageRef = FIRStorage().reference()

The bucket is nil.

Why?

Answer 1

You are missing .storage().

Check your line. It should be:

let storageRef = FIRStorage.storage().reference(forURL: "gs://slugbug-....appspot.com") // dots intentional

Hope it helps

Answer 2

I figured out the solution:

I changed the code from:

let storageRef = FIRStorage().reference(forURL: "gs://slugbug-....appspot.com")

to:

let storageRef = FIRStorage.storage().reference(forURL: "gs://slugbug-....appspot.com")

... a very subtle but annoying bug
