I think you have updated your firebase pods.

According to Firebase 5.0 they removed function metadata?.downloadURL() . So it wont work.

Try to look at the updated documentation of Firebase5.0 and reformate your code

Im attaching below sample code accord to updated docs

Update your pods and put this instead:

    guard let uid = Auth.auth().currentUser?.uid else { return }
    let storage_ref = Storage.storage().reference().child("user/\(uid)")

    let imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 0.75) else { return }

    let meta_Data = StorageMetadata()
    meta_Data.contentType = "image/jpg"

    storage_ref.putData(imageData, metadata: meta_Data) { meta_Data, error in
        if error == nil, meta_Data != nil {

            storage_ref.downloadURL { url_link, error in
                completion(url_link)
                // success completed!
            }
            } else {
                // failed here
                completion(nil)
            }
        }
    }
