Answer 1

You're logging the wrong value. Instead of this:

print("Task: ${downloadUrl}")

Log this:

print("Task: ${downloadUrl.result.toString()}")

Your downloadUrl variable is not correctly named. It's a Task, not a URL. It might be clearer like this:

val task = it.result
val uri = task.result
val uriAsString = uri.toString()

Answer 2

Solved !!!

        val fileRef = storageProfilePicRef!!.child(firebaseUser.uid + "jpg")

        val uploadTask = fileRef.putFile(imageUri!!)
        uploadTask.continueWith {
            if (!it.isSuccessful) {
                pd.dismiss()
                it.exception?.let { t ->
                    throw t
                }
            }
            fileRef.downloadUrl
        }.addOnCompleteListener {
            if (it.isSuccessful) {
                val downloadUrl = it.result //Here returns a task..
                myUri = downloadUrl.toString()

                print("Task: ${downloadUrl}")
                ...

val downloadurl = it.result returns a Task

correct it by adding an addOnSuccessListener

so the correct code is

val uploadTask = fileRef.putFile(imageUri!!)
        uploadTask.continueWith {
            if (!it.isSuccessful) {
                pd.dismiss()
                it.exception?.let { t ->
                    throw t
                }
            }
            fileRef.downloadUrl
        }.addOnCompleteListener {
            if (it.isSuccessful) {
                it.result!!.addOnSuccessListener{task ->
                                 myUri = task.toString()
                                print("$myUri")
                                 ...
                                    }
