Setting tokens in Spotify iOS app disables login callback - ios

Question

I am trying to set up the login for my iOS app using Spotify's SDK. I have the login working, but only without tokens. Once I add these two lines of code:
SPTAuth.defaultInstance().tokenSwapURL = NSURL(string: kTokenSwapURL)
SPTAuth.defaultInstance().tokenRefreshURL = NSURL(string: kTokenRefreshServiceURL)
The login does not work. This is my code for the login.
AppDelegate.swift
let kClientID = "my-client-id"
let kCallbackURL = "my-callback-url"
let kTokenSwapURL = "my-token-swap-url"
let kTokenRefreshServiceURL = "my-token-refresh-url"
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
// Override point for customization after application launch.
SPTAuth.defaultInstance().clientID = kClientID
SPTAuth.defaultInstance().redirectURL = NSURL(string: kCallbackURL)
SPTAuth.defaultInstance().requestedScopes = [SPTAuthStreamingScope, SPTAuthUserReadPrivateScope, SPTAuthPlaylistReadPrivateScope]
SPTAuth.defaultInstance().sessionUserDefaultsKey = "SpotifySession"
window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds)
let loginViewController = LoginViewController(nibName: "LogInViewController", bundle: nil)
let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: loginViewController)
window?.rootViewController = navigationController
window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
return true
}
func application(application: UIApplication, openURL url: NSURL, sourceApplication: String?, annotation: AnyObject) -> Bool {
let authCallback : SPTAuthCallback = { error, session in
// This is the callback that'll be triggered when auth is completed (or fails).
if (error != nil) {
print(error);
return;
}
let userDefaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
let sessionData = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedDataWithRootObject(session)
userDefaults.setObject(sessionData, forKey: SPTAuth.defaultInstance().sessionUserDefaultsKey)
userDefaults.synchronize()
AuthHandler.sharedHandler.loginWithSession(session)
};
if SPTAuth.defaultInstance().canHandleURL(url) {
SPTAuth.defaultInstance().handleAuthCallbackWithTriggeredAuthURL(url, callback:authCallback)
return true
}
return false;
}
LoginViewController.swift
class LoginViewController: UIViewController {

Answer 1

I guess that your backend (swap/refresh) server is not set up properly, because a not working server will cause log in to fail.
I recommend this repository, which you can set up a simple server on heroku.

Answer 2

What I would recomed you to try several things:
Could you please post what is in yours URL Types Identifier and URL Schemes?
I do not know is it important, but in my case Redirect URI and URL Schemes is the same. Redirect URI can be found here under My Applications.
Try to write second app which is opening your app using URL Scheme. If it will not work then here is problem in URL schemas.
As code snapshot is here:
let kCallbackURL = "myWhosampled://"
let url = NSURL(string: kCallbackURL)
UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url!)
When generating files for tokens using spotify_token_swap.rb file you would need to set correct values for this:
CLIENT_ID = "e6695c6d22214e0f832006889566df9c"
CLIENT_SECRET = "29eb02041ba646179a1189dccac112c7"
ENCRYPTION_SECRET = "cFJLyifeUJUBFWdHzVbykfDmPHtLKLGzViHW9aHGmyTLD8hGXC"
CLIENT_CALLBACK_URL = "spotifyiossdkexample://"
AUTH_HEADER = "Basic " + Base64.strict_encode64(CLIENT_ID + ":" + CLIENT_SECRET)
SPOTIFY_ACCOUNTS_ENDPOINT = URI.parse("https://accounts.spotify.com")
set :port, 1234 # The port to bind to.
set :bind, '0.0.0.0' # IP address of the interface to listen on (all)
