Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value | iOS about background_downloader

Fixed in V5.4.5

Thanks for submitting. The location where this happens is where the url you provided as a String (your contenUrl) is converted to a URL object. That conversion fails, causing nil, then causing the unwrap error. I will change the code to catch this error more gracefully, but it also is likely that the contentUrl you use is not a proper url. Can you share or verify? In particular, if the url contains special characters, is it urlEncoded?

Try the latest dev branch to see what error you get:

background_downloader:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/781flyingdutchman/background_downloader.git
      ref: dev

Ahh right WWW_FCTC_W1 D2 S3 - Your Starting Point.mp3 url returned by backend contains spaces but Android handles it with ease.
I'll try with the dev and let you know in a second

Yeah the error was displayed to the console tomorow I'll add the additional url encoding before download request

[781flyingdutchman]

Yep, the URL and any query parameters must be url encoded. Thanks for pointing out the inelegant error though!
