didInititate method for Spotify IOS SDK is not calling even though called sessionManager.initiateSession() - swift

Question

I'm going through Spotify's authentication process and am requesting the scopes appRemoteControl for my app to control music and userReadCurrentlyPlaying for current song. I set up everything from the SPTConfiguration, SPTSessionManager, and SPTAppRemote, and their required delegate methods (SPTAppRemoteDelegate, SPTSessionManagerDelegate, SPTAppRemotePlayerStateDelegate) as well as initiating a session with the requested scopes whenever the user presses a button but I can't get the method
func sessionManager(manager: SPTSessionManager, didInitiate session: SPTSession) {
appRemote.connectionParameters.accessToken = session.accessToken
appRemote.connect()
print(session.accessToken)
}
to trigger. The authentication process fully works as it goes into my spotify app and returns back to my application and plays a song from the configuration.playURI = "" , however, the method above never is called. I followed the spotify demo project but still does not work. Here is my full code
class LogInViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
let spotifyClientID = Constants.clientID
let spotifyRedirectURL = Constants.redirectURI
let tokenSwap = "https://***********.glitch.me/api/token"
let refresh = "https://***********.glitch.me/api/refresh_token"
lazy var configuration: SPTConfiguration = {
let configuration = SPTConfiguration(clientID: spotifyClientID, redirectURL: URL(string: "Lyrically://callback")!)
return configuration
}()
lazy var sessionManager: SPTSessionManager = {
let manager = SPTSessionManager(configuration: configuration, delegate: self)
if let tokenSwapURL = URL(string: tokenSwap), let tokenRefreshURL = URL(string: refresh) {
self.configuration.tokenSwapURL = tokenSwapURL
self.configuration.tokenRefreshURL = tokenRefreshURL
self.configuration.playURI = ""
}
return manager
}()
lazy var appRemote: SPTAppRemote = {
let appRemote = SPTAppRemote(configuration: configuration, logLevel: .debug)
appRemote.delegate = self
return appRemote
}()
#IBAction func logIn(_ sender: UIButton) {
let requestedScopes: SPTScope = [.appRemoteControl, .userReadCurrentlyPlaying]
sessionManager.initiateSession(with: requestedScopes, options: .default)
}
}
extension LogInViewController: SPTAppRemotePlayerStateDelegate {
func playerStateDidChange(_ playerState: SPTAppRemotePlayerState) {
print("state changed")
}
}
extension LogInViewController: SPTAppRemoteDelegate {
func appRemoteDidEstablishConnection(_ appRemote: SPTAppRemote) {
print("connected")
appRemote.playerAPI?.delegate = self
appRemote.playerAPI?.subscribe(toPlayerState: { (success, error) in
if let error = error {
print("Error subscribing to player state:" + error.localizedDescription)
}
})
}
func appRemote(_ appRemote: SPTAppRemote, didFailConnectionAttemptWithError error: Error?) {
print("failed")
}
func appRemote(_ appRemote: SPTAppRemote, didDisconnectWithError error: Error?) {
print("disconnected")
}
}
extension LogInViewController: SPTSessionManagerDelegate {
func sessionManager(manager: SPTSessionManager, didInitiate session: SPTSession) {
appRemote.connectionParameters.accessToken = session.accessToken
appRemote.connect()
print(session.accessToken)
}
func sessionManager(manager: SPTSessionManager, didFailWith error: Error) {
print("failed",error)
}
}

Figured it out. Had to get a hold of the sessionManager from the LogInViewController by making an instance of it
lazy var logInVC = LogInViewController()
then added this line of code into the openURLContexts method in scene delegate
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, openURLContexts URLContexts: Set<UIOpenURLContext>) {
print("Opened url")
guard let url = URLContexts.first?.url else {
return
}
logInVC.sessionManager.application(UIApplication.shared, open: url, options: [:])
}
