Challenges Introduction Preview 01:50

An introduction to the challenges section of the course.

Challenge #1 (EASY): Add Feedback Preview 01:31

Difficulty: EASY

TASK: Add the ability for users to send feedback to the database.

TIPS: Add a row to the SettingsView and have it navigate to the SettingsEditTextView. When you click the button, update the function to upload Feedback to the database (similar to uploading a report).

Challenge #2 (EASY): Segues to Onboarding Preview 01:36

Difficulty: EASY

TASK: Add segues across the app to funnel new users to the onboarding screens. It should only happen when a user tries to click certain buttons while they are not signed in.

TIPS: First find all of the buttons that don't function correctly when a user is not signed in (heart button, import photo button, etc.). Then add a .fullScreenCover, similar to what we did on the SignUpView!

Challenge #3 (EASY): Unlike Animation Preview 01:07

Difficulty: EASY

TASK: Add animation for when a user unlikes a post.

TIPS: You can reuse the LikeAnimationView, but change the icon and color.

Challenge #4 (MEDIUM): Liking Comments Preview 01:11

Difficulty: MEDIUM

TASK: Liking comments in the database!

TIPS: You will first need to update the MessageView to have a like button. Then add the button's logic to like the comment, similar to the logic on the heart button on the posts. When you upload a liked comment to the database, make sure you are updating the comment's document and not the post's document!

Challenge #5 (MEDIUM): Deleting Comments Preview 00:54

Difficulty: MEDIUM

TASK: Add the ability for users to delete their own comments.

TIPS: You first need to show an Alert to ask the user if they want to delete their own comment. Then add functions to delete the comment from the database. If successful, also update the messages on the screen.

Challenge #6 (MEDIUM): Deleting Posts Preview 00:51

Difficulty: MEDIUM

TASK: Add the ability for users to delete their own posts.

TIPS: You can add the option to delete a post within the action sheet shown when a user clicks the ellipsis button. Make sure to have it shown only when it is clicked by a user on their own post. After deleting the document and returning to the My Profile tab, you will need to reload the user's posts to update the UI without the deleted post. (Note: when you delete the post's document, you don't need to delete the post's comment sub-collection.)

Challenge #7 (HARD): Adding Multiple Images in a Single Post Preview 01:52

Difficulty: HARD

TASK: Add the ability for users to upload multiple images in a single post.

TIPS: You need to add multiple image selection into the PostImageView and when uploading a post, you need to track the # of images in a post and label them accordingly in the Storage. When downloading posts, you need to download all of the image and display multiple images within a PostView.

Challenge #8 (HARD): Deleting Accounts Preview 02:05

Difficulty: HARD

TASK: Add the ability for users to delete their accounts

TIPS: When deleting an account, you need to delete all of a user's data in the database. This includes the documents and images for their posts and their personal profile. You then need to log them out of both Firebase and the app.
