I can't interact with my CollectionView cells - ios

Question

I am trying to interact with the cells in my CollectionView, but I can't get anything to work.
At first, I was just trying to print something to the logs by clicking on the cell. That didn't work. I did this by declaring a "didSelectItemAt" function.
Next I added a button to the cell, and added an IBAction to print something to the log, but that doesn't work either.
I tried adding collectionview.isUserInteractionEnabled = true to the viewDidLoad() method, that didn't work. I also checked the storyboard
I'm adding the datasource and delegate by doing
collectionview.delegate = self
collectionview.dataSource = self
I also tried adding a UITapGestureRecognizer in viewDidLoad, but that just made my app crash when loading the view.
I can interact with other collectionviews, but I just can't interact with this collection view. I'm not sure if scrolling works because I only have one cell loading in this collection view so far.
Anybody have any ideas on what I can do or how to correctly implement UITapGestureRecognizer?
Here is the full code for the CollectionView:
import UIKit
import Firebase
import SwiftKeychainWrapper
import SwiftUI
import FirebaseUI
class UserViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource {
#IBOutlet weak var collectionview: UICollectionView!
var user = [User]()
var following = [String]()
var userStorage: StorageReference!
var ref : DatabaseReference!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
collectionview.delegate = self
collectionview.dataSource = self
collectionview.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
// self.collectionView.register(UICollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "UserCell")
retrieveUsers()
// let tap: UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(UIInputViewController.dismissKeyboard))
// tap.cancelsTouchesInView = false
// collectionview.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
}
#IBAction func buttonPress(_sender: Any){
print("fuck you")
}
func retrieveUsers() {
let uid = Auth.auth().currentUser!.uid
let ref = Database.database().reference().child("posts")
let uids = Database.database().reference().child("users")
uids.observeSingleEvent(of:.value, with:{
(snapshot) in
let users = snapshot.value as! [String : NSDictionary]
//self.user.removeAll()
for (_, value) in users {
if let uid = value["uid"] as? String {
if uid != Auth.auth().currentUser!.uid {
let userToShow = User()
if let username = value["username"] as? String, let imagePath = value["urlToImage"] as? String{
userToShow.username = username
userToShow.imagePath = imagePath
userToShow.userID = uid
self.user.append(userToShow)
print(userToShow)
}
}
}
}
self.collectionview.reloadData()
})
//ref.removeAllObservers()
}

let cell = collectionview.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "userCell", for: indexPath) as! UserCell
cell.userImage.sd_setImage(with: URL(string: self.user[indexPath.row].imagePath))
cell.nameLabel.text = self.user[indexPath.row].username
cell.userID = self.user[indexPath.row].userID
// let destinationVC = ProfileViewController()
// destinationVC.sentUserID = user[indexPath.row].userID!
// Let's assume that the segue name is called playerSegue
// This will perform the segue and pre-load the variable for you to use
//destinationVC.performSegue(withIdentifier: "toProfileFromSearch", sender: self)
// cell.addButtonTapAction = {
// // implement your logic here, e.g. call preformSegue()
// self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "toProfileFromSearch", sender: self)
// }
//cell.userImage.downloadImage(from: self.user[indexPath.row].imagePath!)
//checkFollowing(indexPath: indexPath)
return cell
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
print("hello world")
// let VC1 = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ProfileViewController") as! ProfileViewController
// VC1.sentUserID = user[indexPath.row].userID
// self.navigationController?.pushViewController(VC1, animated: true)
}
func checkFollowing(indexPath: IndexPath) {
let uid = Auth.auth().currentUser!.uid
let ref = Database.database().reference()
ref.child("users").child(uid).child("following").queryOrderedByKey().observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { snapshot in
if let following = snapshot.value as? [String : AnyObject] {
for (_, value) in following {
if value as! String == self.user[indexPath.row].userID {
// self.tableview.cellForRow(at: indexPath)?.accessoryType = .checkmark
}
}
