Hey @saoudrizwan I'm getting "Fatal error: init(coder:) has not been implemented:" any idea on how or where to implement that so that I get this class working? Thank you!!

I was able to fix the issue by replacing your required init with this:

required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) { super.init(coder: aDecoder) }
