Answer 3

Doesnt' work, but what is the error?

Try not to force-downcast your optionals when not absolutely necessary. Use if let optional unwrapping or guard Anyway, try this -

if let strurl = url {
    let urlString = strurl.absoluteString 
    print(type(of: urlString))  // should print "String"
}
else {
    // Your url is nil 
}

Answer 5

You can convert url to string by using url.absoluteString .

imagens.child("\(self.idImagem).jpg").downloadURL(completion: { (url, erro) in
                        if(erro == nil)
                        {
                            print(url?.absoluteString)
                            let urlString = url.absoluteString
                            self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "selecionarUsuarioSegue", sender: urlString)
                        }else{
                            print(err!);
                        }
                    })
