In my:
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool)
I create my Firebase observers as such:
poolsRef.child(pID).child("lock").observe(.value, with: { snapshot in
boxesRef.child(pID).observe(.value, with: { snapshot in
coordRef.child(pID).child("x").observe(.value, with: { snapshot in
coordRef.child(pID).child("y").observe(.value, with: { snapshot in
poolsRef.child(pID).child("Winner").observe(.value, with: { snapshot in
playersRef.child("pID").observe(.value, with: { snapshot in
then in
override func viewDidDisappear(_ animated: Bool)
I call the removeAllObservers:
coordRef.removeAllObservers()
poolsRef.removeAllObservers()
boxesRef.removeAllObservers()
playersRef.removeAllObservers()
The problem is when I leave the view where all the observers were created and even thought the removeAllObservers() is called in the viewDidDisappear I am no a different view altogether and if I go to the Firebase directly and make a change in regards to data that was related to the observers mentioned above, I can see that the app is still listening when it shouldn't!?
How do I resolve this issue!!
From Docs
Calling removeObserverWithHandle or removeAllObservers on a listener does not automatically remove listeners registered on its child nodes; you must also keep track of those references or handles to remove them.
poolsRef.child(pID).child("lock").removeAllObservers()
poolsRef.child(pID).child("Winner").removeAllObservers()
and so on with other observers
