Authenticate outside of AppDelegate

[Wouter125]

I prefer keeping my AppDelegate as empty and clean as possible so after I tested the setup as described in the docs and it worked I planned on moving all the logic out of there.

So I created a file setup, all the managers and pointed my app url open to this new file. And then something weird started to happen. I get the authorization code in the app open. The app open initializes my SPTSessionManager which has everything set from delegates and so on, but the delegate itself is never called, I just get;

Task <4F59CD54-A5D1-43F3-955B-5CCB9C6D9A7C>.<1> finished with error - code: -999

My setup looks like this (SessionManager);

class SpotifySessionManager: NSObject, SPTSessionManagerDelegate {
    lazy var configuration = SPTConfiguration(
        clientID: SpotifyConfiguration.Session.clientID,
        redirectURL: SpotifyConfiguration.Session.redirectURL
    )
    
    lazy var sessionManager: SPTSessionManager = {
        if let tokenSwapURL = SpotifyConfiguration.Session.tokenSwapURL, let tokenRefreshURL = SpotifyConfiguration.Session.tokenRefreshURL {
            self.configuration.tokenSwapURL         = tokenSwapURL
            self.configuration.tokenRefreshURL      = tokenRefreshURL
        }
        
        let manager = SPTSessionManager(configuration: self.configuration, delegate: self)
        
        return manager
    }()
    
    func initiateSpotifySession() {
        let requestedScopes: SPTScope = [.playlistModifyPublic, .playlistModifyPrivate, .ugcImageUpload]
        sessionManager.initiateSession(with: requestedScopes, options: .default)
    }

    
    func sessionManager(manager: SPTSessionManager, didInitiate session: SPTSession) {
        print("Session started", session)
    }
    
    func sessionManager(manager: SPTSessionManager, didFailWith error: Error) {
        print("Failed to refresh spotify session", error)
    }
    
    func sessionManager(manager: SPTSessionManager, didRenew session: SPTSession) {
        print("Session renewed", session)
    }
}

My AppDelegate.swift;

func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
        SpotifySessionManager().sessionManager.application(app, open: url, options: options)
        return true
    }

Hey Wouter,

I did the same thing (but it's working), but my AppDelegate.swift looks like this:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        return true
    }
    
    func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
        sessionOpener.sessionManager.application(app, open: url, options: options)
        return true
    }

I'm not sure if you're problem is related to this, but in your delegate you have:

SpotifySessionManager().**setupManager()**.application(app, open: url, options: options)

which I think should be:
SpotifySessionManager().**sessionManager()**.application(app, open: url, options: options)

Try these fixes out and see if it helps.

Aah thanks for your reply. I was playing around with the setup of the sessionManager and some old code got lost there. I wrote a function to manually build the sessionmanager instead of a lazy var.

Anyways it should be spotifySessionManager().sessionManager.application(app, open: url, options: options). Just a copy + pasta mistake from my end...

Okay, now that I downloaded iOS13 and updated the spotify app it suddenly started working... I didn't change anything, but oh well.

Glad to hear it :)
