NSInvalidArgumentException when uploading images to firebase - ios

I'm a newbie to ios development. I'm trying to follow the official documentation of Firebase to implement an image uploading function. But I encountered the following error:

The error log is as follows:

2018-07-21 17:42:33.306219-0700 Geographical_Photo_Map[330:34159] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[__NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:count:]: attempt to insert nil object from objects[1]'
*** First throw call stack:
(0x18448fd38 0x1839a4528 0x184428c44 0x1843614b0 0x18436132c 0x100648b60 0x100642a34 0x100642570 0x1004cbcf8 0x18de02c68 0x18de025bc 0x100cb149c 0x100cb145c 0x100cb6050 0x184437f20 0x184435afc 0x1843562d8 0x1861e7f84 0x18d903880 0x1004cd024 0x183e7a56c)
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
(lldb)

The debugger shows the problem is in this line in FIRStorageUploadTask.m NSDictionary *queryParams = @{@"uploadType" : @"resumable", @"name" : self.uploadMetadata.path};

My code is here:

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary<NSString *,id> *)info {
    [picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];

    // Get the selected image's NSURL.

    NSURL *imagePath = [info objectForKey:@"UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL"];
    NSString *imageName = [imagePath lastPathComponent];
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *localFilePathString = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:imageName];
    NSURL *localFile = [NSURL URLWithString:localFilePathString];

    // Create the file metadata
    FIRStorageMetadata *metadata = [[FIRStorageMetadata alloc] init];
    metadata.contentType = @"image/jpeg";

    // Get a reference to the storage service using the default Firebase App
    FIRStorage *storage = [FIRStorage storage];

    // Create a storage reference from our storage service
    FIRStorageReference *storageRef = [storage reference];

    // Upload file and metadata to the object 'images/mountains.jpg'
    FIRStorageUploadTask *uploadTask = [storageRef putFile:localFile metadata:metadata];

    // Listen for state changes, errors, and completion of the upload.
    [uploadTask observeStatus:FIRStorageTaskStatusResume handler:^(FIRStorageTaskSnapshot *snapshot) {
        // Upload resumed, also fires when the upload starts
    }];
}

- (IBAction)UploadButtonClicked:(id)sender {
    // Choose from photo library.
    UIImagePickerController *imagePickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
    imagePickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
    imagePickerController.delegate = self;
    [self presentViewController:imagePickerController animated:YES completion:nil];
}

I will be greatly appreciated if someone offers any suggestions or solutions!

This is not the correct way to get the URL of the image. You should save the image in your documents directory first.

UIImage *image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *localFilePathString = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"yourImage.png"];

NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
[imageData writeToFile:localFilePathString atomically:YES];

NSURL *localFile = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:localFilePathString];
