• Support Safari View Controller

Compatibility

• iOS 9.0+ - osx 10.10

Installation

  pod 'MediumSDKSwift'

and run pod install in the directory to load dependencies.

Configuration

Add your MEDIUM_CLIENT_ID, MEDIUM_CLIENT_SECRET, MEDIUM_CALLBACK_URL in Build settings -> User-Define

In the project right click on your Info.plist file, choose "Open As" - "Source code" and add these lines :

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
    <dict>
        <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
        <string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)</string>
        <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
        <array>
            <string>mediumswift</string>
        </array>
    </dict>
</array>

<key>MediumCallbackURL</key>
<string>$(MEDIUM_CALLBACK_URL)</string>

<key>MediumClientID</key>
<string>$(MEDIUM_CLIENT_ID)</string>

<key>MediumClientSecret</key>
<string>$(MEDIUM_CLIENT_SECRET)</string>

right before the tag.

Handle the callback in App Delegate:

func application(app: UIApplication, openURL url: NSURL, options: [String : AnyObject]) -> Bool {
        if (url.host == "mediumswift-callback") {
            OAuthSwift.handleOpenURL(url)
        }
        return true
    }

Note that the redirect is done via a free Heroku app and it's highly recommended to setup your own redirect service by cloning and running this repo (courtesy of the original oauthswift.herokuapp.com repo). Change all the mediumswift strings in the repo to the name of your app and make related changes in Info.plist and App Delegate files. The deployment with Heroku is easy - just link your GitHub repo and the app is built automatically.

You are all set!
