Google Spreadsheets APIS, confused - swift

Question

I had this working before but now it seems to have stopped. I am trying to run various googlesheets APIS such as read/write/create. I have installed the appropriate cocoa pods:
platform :ios, '10.0'
target 'Safety_App-Prototype' do
use_frameworks!
pod 'GoogleAnalytics'
pod 'GoogleAPIClientForREST/Sheets'
pod 'GoogleAPIClientForREST/Drive'
pod 'GoogleSignIn'
pod 'SVProgressHUD'
pod 'Firebase/Core'
pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
pod 'Firebase/Auth'
pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
end
I have created a google developer console project and included all relevant information into my app. (this includes the URL type under projects -> info tab as well as in my app delegate shown below:
//
// AppDelegate.swift
// Created by Michael Szabo on 2021-01-28.
//
import UIKit
import GoogleSignIn
#main
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, GIDSignInDelegate {
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
GIDSignIn.sharedInstance().clientID = "FORMYEYESONLY.apps.googleusercontent.com"
GIDSignIn.sharedInstance().delegate = self
return true
}
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
return GIDSignIn.sharedInstance().handle(url as URL?,
sourceApplication: options[UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey.sourceApplication] as? String,
annotation: options[UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey.annotation])
}
func sign(_ signIn: GIDSignIn!, didSignInFor user: GIDGoogleUser!, withError error: Error!) {
if let error = error {
if (error as NSError).code == GIDSignInErrorCode.hasNoAuthInKeychain.rawValue {
print("The user has not signed in before or they have since signed out.")
} else {
print("\(error.localizedDescription)")
}
return
}
// Perform any operations on signed in user here.
let userId = user.userID // For client-side use only!
let idToken = user.authentication.idToken // Safe to send to the server
let fullName = user.profile.name
let givenName = user.profile.givenName
let familyName = user.profile.familyName
let email = user.profile.email
// ...
print(fullName)
}
func sign(_ signIn: GIDSignIn!, didDisconnectWith user: GIDGoogleUser!, withError error: Error!) {
// Perform any operations when the user disconnects from app here.
print("User has disconnected")
}
// MARK: UISceneSession Lifecycle
func application(_ application: UIApplication, configurationForConnecting connectingSceneSession: UISceneSession, options: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) -> UISceneConfiguration {
// Called when a new scene session is being created.
// Use this method to select a configuration to create the new scene with.
return UISceneConfiguration(name: "Default Configuration", sessionRole: connectingSceneSession.role)
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didDiscardSceneSessions sceneSessions: Set<UISceneSession>) {
// Called when the user discards a scene session.
// If any sessions were discarded while the application was not running, this will be called shortly after application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions.
// Use this method to release any resources that were specific to the discarded scenes, as they will not return.
}
}
I have added a google signing button which allows me to sign in and asks for permission to read/write to sheets and added functions in my script to create/read/write to sheets as seen below:

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Looking to the error generated by your code, and the scopes you try to require, it seems they are not enough. Indeed you set only:
private let scopes = [kGTLRAuthScopeSheetsSpreadsheets]
According to this google official doc about scopes you can find more details about all the scopes.
In the middle part of your code you read profile informations and these info could be readed adding scopes about google sign in:
profile
email

Answer 2

It appears that I was missing an instruction in my functions being called. I also had to update a bit of my code for newer pod file "pod 'GoogleSignIn', '~> 5.0.2'" The instructions for this migration can be found here:
https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/ios/quick-migration-guide
The portion of code I needed to add to my functions is a simple line which can be seen here:
service.authorizer = GIDSignIn.sharedInstance().currentUser.authentication.fetcherAuthorizer()
I hope this helps someone else out (pass it on.)
Thank you.
