Description:

My SwiftUI application is working fine with oAuthSwift, the only problem is I use Safari for the login handler. But to get the app to the store I need to use a WebView inside my application, the problem that I have now is that I don't know how to create a authorizeURLHandler that opens a SwiftUI sheet with the WebView inside.

good question, never tested
did you try other handler like SafariURLHandler or ASWebAuthenticationURLHandler?

I didn't I just looked at SafariURLHandler but I need to add a Controller and I don't have one. I have created a function inside my ObservableObject for the login.
The big problem is I need to warp the WebView (or what ever the webpage displays) inside a UIViewControllerRepresentable to use it with swiftUI.

https://github.com/Veeit/makerslog-App/blob/release-v1/Shared/View%20Model/Api/LoginData.swift

line 258 is the login function, if you are interested in the code :)

        var root = UIHostingController(rootView: ContentView())

        oauthswift.authorizeURLHandler = SafariURLHandler(viewController: root, oauthSwift: oauthswift)

        if let windowScene = scene as? UIWindowScene {
            let window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
            window.rootViewController = root
            self.window = window
            window.makeKeyAndVisible()
        }

Got it working :) I need to configure the SafariURLHandler like this inside the SceneDelegate, actually it took me a while to get to thins solution but that is simple.
