view.window?.rootViewController = TabHomeViewController
view.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
}

let Email = EmailTextField.text!.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines)
let Password = PasswordTextfield.text!.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines)
Auth.auth().signIn(withEmail: Email, password: Password) { (result, error) in
if error != nil{
self.ErrorLabel.text = error!.localizedDescription
self.ErrorLabel.alpha = 1
}
else{
let TabHomeViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(identifier: Constrants.Storyboard.TabHomeViewController) as? UITabBarController
self.view.window?.rootViewController = TabHomeViewController
self.view.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()

import Firebase
class AccountViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var FNameTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var LNameTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var EmailTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var PasswordTextField: UITextField!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
#IBAction func logoutbutton(_ sender: Any) {
do{
try Auth.auth().signOut()
performSegue(withIdentifier: "signout", sender: nil)
}
catch{
print(error)
}
}
}

You can use this function:
func updateFirestoreUserProfile(uid: String, data: [String:Any]) {
Firestore.firestore().collection("users").document(uid).updateData(data) { err in
if let err = err {
print("Error updating document: \(err) ")
}
else {
print("Document successfully updated")
}
}
}
You can use the function like this:
let data = [
"FirstName": name,
"LastName": surname
]
updateFirestoreUserProfile(uid: user.uid, data: data)
