Answer 1

The taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl() method was removed in recent versions of the Firebase Storage SDK. You will need to instead get the download URL from the StorageReference now.

Calling StorageReference.getDownloadUrl() returns a Task, since it needs to retrieve the download URL from the server. So you'll need a completion listener to get the actual URL.

From the documentation on downloading a file:

 storageRef.child("users/me/profile.png").getDownloadUrl().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(Uri uri) {
        // Got the download URL for 'users/me/profile.png' in uri
        System.out.println(uri.toString());
    }
}).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
    @Override
    public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception exception) {
        // Handle any errors
    }
});

Alternatively that first line could be this if you're getting the download URL right after uploading (as in your case):

taskSnapshot.getStorage().getDownloadUrl().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener() {
