Somewhere in your code you must have done " OAuthSwift.handle(url: )"
The url is from provider redirection which add some info to your callbackurl
Can you check the value of this url. The query of this url must contain one of this parameters : access_token, code, error

Then you deploy your own herokuapp?

see #258 and https://github.com/OAuthSwift/OAuthSwift/wiki/Instagram
Did you follow this intruction?

Disable implicit OAuth
Use webview delegate to call " OAuthSwift.handle(url: )", because info is not un query, but fragment and information mentionned in my previous post will be lost
