FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken always nil - xcode

I have a terms and conditions view controller that is the entry point to my app. It checks:
if( FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken() != nil){
print("here")
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()){

let nserror = error as NSError
NSLog("Unresolved error \(nserror), \(nserror.userInfo)")
abort()
}
}
}
}
Does anyone have any idea why my current access token is evaluating to nil even though the user has already logged in?

Why are you loging out the user in applicationWillTerminate ?
calling loginManager.logOut() will set the currentAccesToken to nil.

iOS Swift app calls the SquarePOS app on iPad -Square app's screen displays briefly then reverts to my screen's calling view controller-did nothing

This app is intentionally tiny - the UI is just a button to initiate the api call. The appDelegate simply shows a console log proving the callback was executed. I did this because I can not get the Square payment system to work even thought the code and url setup etc looks right to me. I am wondering if I misunderstand something in the documentation.
My app ID is: sq0idp-TbgQGqSrC84qkfcXSTntNg
bundleID is: com.craig.POSSDKTest2
My info.plist setup is a screenshot:info.plist and URLScheme setup
My code in the api calling VC:
// ViewController.swift
// POSSDKTest2
//
// Created by Dr Craig E Curphey on 2022-06-14.
//
import UIKit
import SquarePointOfSaleSDK
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}//------------------------------------
#IBAction func doPaymentTapped(_ sender: Any) {
//------ API to Square right here ******-----------------
let callbackURL = URL(string: "POSSDKTest2Scheme://")!
SCCAPIRequest.setApplicationID("sq0idp-TbgQGqSrC84qkfcXSTntNg")
var money: SCCMoney?
do {
// Specify the amount of money to charge - $1.00
let todaysFeePennies = 100
money = try SCCMoney(amountCents: todaysFeePennies, currencyCode: "CAD")
} catch {
print("money conversion failed.")
}
let LoginID = "TestPatient"
//log values used to console:
print("Initiating payment api request")

try SCCAPIConnection.perform(apiRequest)
} catch let error as NSError {
print("Error detected: \(error.localizedDescription)")

Here is my appDelegate code - I just want to see if I get a callback - I'll add the code to process the response later ...

Console log
The work environment is Xcode 13.3, Swift, macOSMonterey 12.1 beta, iPad 10.2" (I think) mounted in a Square iPad kiosk with attached card reader, running iOS 15.5.
I would be very happy to send the whole project in a zip file to anyone who would be willing to take a look into why it is failing.

implement declaration and uiapplication delegate

New to iOS development so I'm a little confused on this part of implement the point of sale sdk
Usage
Swift
Import Declaration: import SquarePointOfSaleSDK
// Replace with your app's URL scheme.
let yourCallbackURL = URL(string: "your-url-scheme://")!
// Your client ID is the same as your Square Application ID.
// Note: You only need to set your client ID once, before creating your first request.
SCCAPIRequest.setClientID("YOUR_CLIENT_ID")
do {
// Specify the amount of money to charge.
let money = try SCCMoney(amountCents: 100, currencyCode: "USD")
// Create the request.
let apiRequest =
try SCCAPIRequest(
callbackURL: yourCallbackURL,
amount: money,
userInfoString: nil,
merchantID: nil,
notes: "Coffee",
customerID: nil,
supportedTenderTypes: .all,
clearsDefaultFees: false,
returnAutomaticallyAfterPayment: false
)
// Open Point of Sale to complete the payment.
try SCCAPIConnection.perform(apiRequest)
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
Finally, implement the UIApplication delegate method as follows:
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
guard let sourceApplication = options[.sourceApplication] as? String,
sourceApplication.hasPrefix("com.squareup.square") else {
return false
}
do {
let response = try SCCAPIResponse(responseURL: url)
if let error = response.error {
// Handle a failed request.
print(error.localizedDescription)
} else {
// Handle a successful request.
}
} catch let error as NSError {
// Handle unexpected errors.
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
return true
}
I'm a little confused where I put these respective pieces of code. My best guess is that the UIApplication delegate goes into AppDelegate.swift?
You can set the client ID in the appDidFinishLaunching method in AppDelegate since it only needs to be set once.
The code that creates and executes the API request can go in whatever view controller you'd like to use to initiate the payment.
You are correct, the last method should be added to your AppDelegate.

Cannot convert value of type 'NSData' to expected argument type 'String'

I'm writing codes on swift in XCode. This is the code:
import UIKit
import Foundation
#UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
let notificationTypes : UIUserNotificationType = [.Alert, .Badge, .Sound]
let notificationSettings : UIUserNotificationSettings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: notificationTypes, categories: nil)
UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerUserNotificationSettings(notificationSettings)
return true
}
func application(application: UIApplication, didRegisterUserNotificationSettings notificationSettings: UIUserNotificationSettings)
{
UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerForRemoteNotifications()
}
func application(application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData) {
print("TOKEN:", deviceToken);
let token = String(data: deviceToken, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding);
let myUrl = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: "http://......php?id=" + token);
print("URL:",fileURLWithPath: "http://......php?id=" + token);
}
func application(application: UIApplication, didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError error: NSError) {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
/* func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject]) {
}*/
func applicationWillResignActive(application: UIApplication) {
// Sent when the application is about to move from active to inactive state. This can occur for certain types of temporary interruptions (such as an incoming phone call or SMS message) or when the user quits the application and it begins the transition to the background state.
// Use this method to pause ongoing tasks, disable timers, and throttle down OpenGL ES frame rates. Games should use this method to pause the game.
}
func applicationDidEnterBackground(application: UIApplication) {
// Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.
// If your application supports background execution, this method is called instead of applicationWillTerminate: when the user quits.
}
func applicationWillEnterForeground(application: UIApplication) {
// Called as part of the transition from the background to the inactive state; here you can undo many of the changes made on entering the background.
}
func applicationDidBecomeActive(application: UIApplication) {
// Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
}
func applicationWillTerminate(application: UIApplication) {
// Called when the application is about to terminate. Save data if appropriate. See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.
}
}
Compiler gives me an error on the func application(application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData) {" and it says me "Cannot convert value of type 'NSData' to expected argument type 'String'"... but I can't understand the way to solve the problem. So, can somebody help me to correct the error?
var charSet: NSCharacterSet = NSCharacterSet(charactersInString: "<>")
var tokenStr: String = (deviceToken.description as NSString)
.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(characterSet)
.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString( " ", withString: "") as String
print(deviceTokenString)
Try that
USe this, for sending token to the server. Worked well for me
var token: String = "\(deviceToken)"
let rawtoken = token.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString(">", withString: "")
let cleantoken = rawtoken.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString("<", withString: "")
var finaltoken = cleantoken.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString(" ", withString: "")
Final token is the one that you are supposed to use.
Source was Udemy online courses.
Note that the token is BINARY, so you cannot easily convert it to a string (no UTF8!).
It is a good practice to convert it to hex:
let tokenChars = UnsafePointer<CChar>(deviceToken.bytes)
var tokenString = ""
for var i = 0; i < deviceToken.length; i++ {
tokenString += String(format: "%02.2hhx", arguments: [tokenChars[i]])
}
print("Push token: \(tokenString)")

Getting error after updating swift?

The code was running fine before the update now I'm getting a lot of errors:
The first error I had was this after fixing that error, I'm getting even more errors below is the code and in the screenshot you can see where the errors are occurring.
Any help will appreciated.
Thank You.

Swift URL Response is nil

I have created a custom DataManager class. Inside it I want to fetch data in a method and return an NSData object to convert to JSON afterwards.
I have tried to get the data using the completionHandler but no luck:
class func fetchData() -> NSData? {
var session = NSURLSession.sharedSession(),
result = NSData?()
let DataURL : NSURL = NSURL(string: "http://...file.json")!
let sessionTask = session.dataTaskWithURL(DataURL, completionHandler: { (data: NSData!, response: NSURLResponse!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
result = data
})
sessionTask.resume()
return result
}
The dataTask runs asynchronously. That means that the completion handler closure will not be called by the time you return from fetchData. Thus, result will not have been set yet.
Because of this, you should not try to retrieve data synchronously from an asynchronous method. Instead, you should employ an asynchronous completion handler pattern yourself:
class func fetchData(completion: #escaping (Data?, Error?) -> Void) {
let session = URLSession.shared
let url = URL(string: "http://...file.json")!
let task = session.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in
completion(data, error)
}
task.resume()
}
And you'd call it like so:
MyClass.fetchData { data, error in
guard let data = data, error == nil else {
print(error ?? "Unknown error")
return
}
// use `data` here; remember to dispatch UI and model updates to the main queue
}
// but do not try to use `data` here
...
FYI, for the original pre-Swift 3 syntax, see previous revision of this answer.
