Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/OAuthSwift/OAuthSwift/issues/228

I am writing an app for iOS 8.0 using OAuthSwift. I am trying to implement logout functionality. I have already deleted cookies, cleared the cache, and synchronized nsuserdefaults. However, the web browser that oauthswift sends me to keeps me logged in. I read that I needed to also call:

<UIWebView>.stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString("localStorage.clear();")!

However, I don't know how to access the webview (or is it an SFSafariController?) to be able to clear it.

Did you set the authorize_url_handler ?
If not, an external safari app is open and you cannot do anything I suppose...
You must set your custom handler to use your own web view, see demo app for instance

(SFSafariController is iOS9 and must be set explicitly)
