The error seems pretty clear:
updatePhotoURLexpects you to pass the URL of the image you want to set for the user, but you are trying to pass aFileto it.If you want to use the local for file the user, you’ll first need to upload it somewhere, get a URL to that place, and then pass that URL to
updatePhotoURL. One place you can upload such images would be into Cloud Storage through Firebase, as shown here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/ios/upload-filesYou are directly passing the file inside a String. Get the download URL of an image and pass it inside the updatePhotoImage URL. This will work.
