I must use VPN with U. S. IP address to avoid this message when loading mzstatic url: "Not Found on Accelerator Description: Your request was not found. Check the location and try again."

in the heightForHeaderInSection, you can do return self.podcasts.count == 0 ? 250 : 0

Hi Brian, Any reason why you chose this framework rather than AlamofireImage?

How do you make teaching this so easy. I have been learning swift and iOS for a year and just found about you. I'm glad i did. I have been stumbling through networking thinking it's very difficult and learning other topics. i have to say the way you teach it looks easy to learn and grasp easily. Thank you for your knowledge Brian, i'm hoping for my project type apps like this. Cheers

Hey Brian, why did you decide on using an external framework instead of using something like NSCache or writing a small utility class for storing data in the file system or Core Data ?

SDWebImage framework compiler warnings: I love clean compiles without warning messages. There is a way to eliminate the Block implicitly retains 'self'; explicitly mention 'self' to indicate this is intended behavior from the SDWebImage. Go to StackOverflow -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21577711/block-implicitly-retains-self-explicitly-mention-self-to-indicate-this-is-i See Solution for CLANG_WARN_OBJC_IMPLICIT_RETAIN_SELF = NO.

Brian when you go to ApiService instead of podcast this line let parameters = ["term":searchText, "media": "music"] I used music it download music but the pictures of artists didn't show up in the cells how to fix it?

really great course brian and very helpful. could we get some kinda pop out player window or similar? the 2 side bars take up space so i have to make the browser window relative large in order to get a decent size for the video to see the code. something where the video can take up the whole space would really help. thanks

Hey Brian, I am getting weird results with the images being downloaded. the images are showing up duplicated. Your head shot image is showing up under random podcast posts. I am using SDWebImage like you showed, it seems like its a caching problem like we had before on the Instagram course. Any thoughts? thanks, Matt

Hello Brian, I'm using this course to help in my own implementation so I'm not following step by step, but the issue I'm having is the images only show if I tap a row. On initial load the TableView show the cell.textLabel and cell.detailTextLabel, but only shows the imageView if I click or tab a row. What would cause this? Here is my code: let url = URL(string: course.url ?? "") URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url!) { (data, _, _) in print("finished loading data:", data) DispatchQueue.main.async { cell.imageView?.image = UIImage(data: data!) } }.resume() cell.textLabel?.text = course.title cell.detailTextLabel?.text = String(course.link) return cell Thanks for you help!!

[AmiraclePodcast.Podcast(trackName: Optional("Lets Build That App"), artistName: Optional("Brian Voong"), artworkUrl1600: nil, trackCount: Optional(3), feedUrl: Optional("https://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:114798578/sounds.rss"))] I am getting a nil value when pulling the data for the artworkUrl1600..any suggestions?

Hey Brian, When I search for a podcast the text "Please Enter Search Term" does not go away. Is this supposed to happen?

Hai All, I haven't jump into the next video, but in case you're experiencing a blank page issues on Search Page like me, I've found a solutions. Step to reproduce: 1. Run our project on simulator / on devices. 2. Type any text on Search fields, do not tap Cancel button. 3. Move to another page (let say Favorites page) and than go back to Search page, you'll see that the Search page becomes blank. To solve that issue, I just added definesPresentationContext and set it to true, at the setupTableView function. -- Here's the code snippet: ------------------------------------ // PodcastSearchController.swift ------------------------------------ ... fileprivate func setupTableView() { tableView.tableFooterView = UIView() let nib = UINib(nibName: "PodcastCell", bundle: nil) tableView.register(nib, forCellReuseIdentifier: cellId) self.definesPresentationContext = true } ... I hope the solution is work for you also. But again, probably on the other video, Brian already have the solutions. Will check it out soon. Thanks,
