Swift Firebase authentication not working when in another class

Question

I am attempting a project just for fun, I would like to use Firebase. I made a class to user for user related things. I was testing the signing up function and when it is within

Answer 1

Your issue is that the createUser method is asynchronous. You are returning made from your function before createUser finishes.

func createAccount()-> Bool {...}

should be

func createAccount(completion: (Bool)->Void) {...}

And then when the Firebase Auth call to createUser completes, you call completion(made).

You will need to read up on asynchronous calls in programming and closures in swift to understand better. You can start with something like this article.
