How to set/unset multiple accounts for API credentials - ios

Question

I have an app that saves multiple user accounts for retrieving data from my API. There is always one account set to be active or flagged TRUE. When I select a different account I deactivate previously active account and activate selected account or set it to be TRUE. I do these using CoreData in my Accounts table view.
When my app starts my API class checks my CoreData to see which account is active and assigns its credentials to my Credential object.
I then use these credentials to access and get data from my server. All works perfect until this point.
My problem is when I select a different account and reset my Credentials object in my didSelectRowAtIndexPath method, my API class still has the previously active account's credentials. I can see/print the Credentials object has the selected account's credentials.
How do I adjust my objects to have/use only selected account's credentials?
class API {
var credentials:Credentials!
init(){
self.credentials = getActiveStore()
// I use self.credentials.username to make API calls later in the code
}
func getActiveStore() -> Credentials?{
let appDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate
let managedContext = appDelegate.managedObjectContext!
let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest(entityName: "User")
fetchRequest.returnsObjectsAsFaults = false
fetchRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "active = %#", 1 as NSNumber)
var error:NSError?
let fetchResults = managedContext.executeFetchRequest(fetchRequest, error: &error) as! [User]
if fetchResults.count == 1 {
let name = fetchResults[0].name
let url = fetchResults[0].url
let username = fetchResults[0].username
let password = fetchResults[0].password
return Credentials(name: name, url: url, username: username, password: password)
}
return nil
}
}
Now this is the class that never changes. When I refresh my data after selecting a different account, the data I see belongs to previously active account. API class doesn't want to change.

Are you creating a new credentials every time you select a new cell? Because you credentials gets update just in the criation of the object
init(){
self.credentials = getActiveStore()
// I use self.credentials.username to make API calls later in the code
}
If you want credentials to be update a new instance of your API has to be created.
Another way is to create an update method and call it when a new cell is selected
func updateCredentials(){
self.credentials = getActiveStore()
// I use self.credentials.username to make API calls later in the code
}
