Hi ! Thanks for this very helpful tutorial 👌 I am now trying to build an app out of it and I was wondering how I could do to **segue from the ChannelsViewController to another View**. I tried from the LaunchScreen.storyboard but it seems that I have to do it programmatically… So is there a way to do it with the interface builder or programmatically from the toolbar or the navigation bar ? It’s been 3 days I’m searching a way to do it but didn’t found yet. Thanks again ✌ ---

Hello, I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial! I created the sample project for the tutorial without storyboards. To present the channels view or the char view you need to do it programmatically in code, instead of a segue. To present another view, like a settings view controller, from the channels view controller use `UIViewController.present(_:animated:completion:)`. You can programmatically access a storyboard in code by setting an identifier inside the view controller. Then you can present another view from a button or whatever you’d like. I hope that helps! ---

if your are using swift 4 then you can use private func registerForKeyboardNotifications() { NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillShow(\_:)), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardDidShow, object: nil) ``` NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillHide(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardDidShow, object: nil) ``` } ---

This won’t work as expected. You need to call `.UIKeyboardWillShow` and `.UIKeyboardWillHide` respectively. Using `.UIKeyboardDidShow` to call `self.keyboardWillHide` will hide the UI when the keyboard is completely shown. You only need to use `.UIKeyboardWillShow` and `.UIKeyboardWillHide`. ---

Hello, When trying to archive the finished tutorial, I get a code signing error. Any insight into this? I do not change anything about the project when archiving. ![16%20PM](https://files.chunter.kodeco.com/original/3X/0/6/06d0ddea8f92683cd9d307fa80b440c0151f107a.jpeg) ---

I just checked and it’s working for me. I downloaded a fresh copy of the tutorial materials, I ran `pod install`, I changed the bundle identifier, and I selected my team for the automatic code signing. If you didn’t follow those steps, try doing so. If it still doesn’t work, please explain in detail all the steps you did and where you came across an issue. I hope that helps. ---

Hello, I’m sorry you’re having trouble. So I can help you out, at which point in the tutorial do you experience this issue? I just tried downloading the sample project and running the starter and everything seems fine. `isAtBottom` is a computed property that can be found in **UICollectionView+Additions.swift**. However, the description of your error makes me think that something isn’t right with the CocoaPods setup. ---

Hi, I’m not sure if this is an error on my end or what, but when I download the materials for this course I only get a few byte large .xcworkspace files that refuse to open. Everything else works fine (I assume) so I’m not really sure what’s up. Any ideas? Dora ---

Hello Dora, You have to run `pod install` to configure the project with the necessary libraries to connect to Firebase and such. What step of the tutorial are you stuck on? ---

This is a strange error, it seems like something got corrupted. Can you re-download the materials, then try installing the pods again. Also make sure to open **RWRC.xcworkspace** and not **RWRC.xcodeproj**. ---
