Description:

When trying to authenticate with Instagram, after typing in username and password I see successful login data but I am never redirected back to the app and the authorize completion block is never handled. Here is my code:

 @IBAction func loginButtonPressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
    let oauthswift = OAuth2Swift(
        consumerKey:    "***",
        consumerSecret: "****",
        authorizeUrl:   "https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize",
        responseType:   "code"
    )
    self.oauthswift = oauthswift
    //oauthswift.authorizeURLHandler = getURLHandler()
    let _ = oauthswift.authorize(
        withCallbackURL: URL(string: "http://54.213.72:8010/login")!,
        scope: "basic+public_content+follower_list+relationships", state:"INSTAGRAM",
        success: { credential, response, parameters in
            print("PRINT SUCCESS")
            print(credential.oauthToken)
        },
        failure: { error in
            print("PRINT ERROR")
            print(error.localizedDescription)
        }
    )

#295 just closed now but open when you creating this bug
before opening an issue read contribution guide (link available when you create an issue)

https://github.com/OAuthSwift/OAuthSwift/wiki/Instagram

then http://54.213.72:8010/login is your callback url, responsible to redirect to your app

@phimage Im not sure what this means. Are you saying we cannot use the explicit method (server-side)?

I don't know but last time I test, that do not work (maybe just momentary)

Then your issue title "Instagram authorizeWithCallbackURL never called " is wrong...
are you talking about success and failure block...

Did you call "OAuthSwift.handle(url: url)" somewhere in your code and how you do it? (application scheme, url detection in webview, ...)
