I know the problem The data is saved in the firestore with the date in this format Jan 10, 2023 Jan 24, 2023 and so on when get the date i was test getting it with the simulator and the format was the same MMM DD, YYYY, but when turn on the physical device the format was DD MMM, YYYY so I add a code to force the format to be MMM DD, YYYY
I think I know what is happening here.
When you read the data in your
AppDelegate
, it gets read, and the delegate callback (self.delegate?.dataDidUpdate()
) in theDataManager
occurs before you set yourFirstScreenViewController
view controller as theDataManager
‘s delegate (on the lineDataManager.shared.delegate = self
). At this point theDataManager
‘s delegate isnil
, so you do not receive the callback in your view controller.The correct way to ensure that you always get the delegate callback would be that you set the
DataManager
‘sdelegate
before you execute thefetchDataFromFirestore(date: String)
call.If this helps you, please consider marking this as the answer.
