Swift MessageKit - Argument labels '(type:)' do not match any available overloads

Question

I have begun to try to use MessageKit from the Firebase Chat tutorial that uses MessageKit so far. I have come across this error that does not appear inside the tutorial project. When I try to use the code from the tutorial project I am getting this error and am not sure how to solve it.

Argument labels '(type:)' do not match any available overloads

let cameraItem = UIBarButtonItem(type: .system)

Answer 1

You cannot create an UIBarButtonItem like that because it's not part of the documentation. Here is the official documentation of UIBarButtonItem with different initialisers.

If you want to create a UIBarButtonItem with default system items:

UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .cancel, target: self, action: Selector("handleCancel")

Here is a list of all UIBarButtonItem.SystemItem that you can use to create a UIBarButtonItem

You can also create a UIBarButtonItem with different data, like images, text etc... Take a look at this page
