This week, we continued to dive into the code in order to fix bugs, add new features and edit current features. I have been made responsible for figuring out why posts are not created from iOS devices. I spent the weekend trying to understand why and I believe I pinpointed the issue. The issue stems from a data formatting issue when trying to send an image to the server along with JSON data. There are a couple of solutions to this problem. Firstly, I could simply upload the image to the CDN from the frontend and then pass the URL for this image to the server instead of the image itself. Secondly, I could still send the image to the backend but I'd have to download a few packages that are used for handling different types of data, such as images. I am leaning towards option 1 because I have tried option 2 and ran into some more issues which would create a much larger problem than needed.
My group and I also worked on our final report draft. This is a report that details all aspects of our project ranging from what it is to how we implemented it to why we did certain things.
