AWS Cognito doesn't call confirmSignUp when confirming user identity in Swift with Xcode - swift

Question

I finally managed to get the SignUp to work, but when trying to confirm the signup, I'm reaching a problem. Here is my code:
var user: AWSCognitoIdentityUser?
#IBAction func submitButton(_ sender: Any) {
guard let confirmationCodeValue = self.codeTextField.text, !confirmationCodeValue.isEmpty else {
let confirmationAlert = UIAlertController(title: alertTitle, message: alertMessage, preferredStyle: .alert)
confirmationAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "好", style: .default, handler: {action in
print("Try again!")
}))
self.present(confirmationAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)
return
}
self.user?.confirmSignUp(self.codeTextField.text!, forceAliasCreation: true).continue({[weak self] (task: AWSTask) -> Any? in
guard let strongSelf = self else { return nil }
DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
print("At least this is working...")
if let error = task.error {
let confirmationFailAlert = UIAlertController(title: (error as NSError).userInfo["__type"] as? String,
message: (error as NSError).userInfo["__type"] as? String,
preferredStyle: .alert)
confirmationFailAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "好",
style: .default,
handler: {action in
}))
self?.present(confirmationFailAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else {
let confirmationSuccessAlert = UIAlertController(title: self?.alertTitleConfirmationComplete,
message:self?.alertMessageConfirmationComplete,
preferredStyle: .alert)
confirmationSuccessAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "好",
style: .default,
handler: {action in
self?.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}))
self?.present(confirmationSuccessAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
})
return nil
})
}
The first part of this code works fine. If I type nothing in the space, I get an alertView telling me so. However, if I type anything in the space, nothing happens. The print statement "At least this is working..." never gets called. I've been staring at this code for a couple hours now trying to figure out what's wrong, and I feel like it's probably something simple, but as of now, I could use some help!
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I assume the code block above is not the full source, but be sure the optional, user, is "unencapsulated" and equal to an actual instance of AWSCognitoIdentityUser.
If it isn't, which I am assuming it is not, confirmSignUp won't know the username, sub, or have any information on the user it is "confirming".
I would recommend logging user and be sure that username is in fact a value within user.
I believe you set it equal to that instance type in the response to your AWSCognitoIdentityUserPool class signUp:password:userAttributes:validationData: call.
Check those values that are returned in AWSCognitoIdentityUserPoolSignUpResponse.
