ReactNative iOS Spotify SDK

Question

I am following the Spotify SDK tutorial , and trying to make a RN module for my application. This is my SpotifyModule.m code:

#import "SpotifyModule.h"
#import "React/RCTLog.h"
#import "React/RCTBridge.h"


@implementation SpotifyModule


RCT_EXPORT_MODULE()


+ (id)sharedManager {
  static SpotifyModule *sharedManager = nil;
  @synchronized(self) {
    if (sharedManager == nil)
      sharedManager = [[self alloc] init];
  }
  return sharedManager;
}


RCT_EXPORT_METHOD(authenticate:(RCTResponseSenderBlock)callback)
{
  // Your implementation here
  RCTLogInfo(@"authenticate");
  self.auth = [SPTAuth defaultInstance];
  // The client ID you got from the developer site
  self.auth.clientID = @"8fff6cbb84d147e383060be62cec5dfa";
  // The redirect URL as you entered it at the developer site
  self.auth.redirectURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"my-android-auth://callback"];
  // Setting the `sessionUserDefaultsKey` enables SPTAuth to automatically store the session object for future use.
  self.auth.sessionUserDefaultsKey = @"current session";
  // Set the scopes you need the user to authorize. `SPTAuthStreamingScope` is required for playing audio.
  self.auth.requestedScopes = @[SPTAuthPlaylistReadPrivateScope, SPTAuthUserReadPrivateScope];

  //save the login callback
  SpotifyModule *spotifyModule = (SpotifyModule *)[SpotifyModule sharedManager];
  spotifyModule.loginCallback = callback;

  //setup event dispatcher
  spotifyModule.eventDispatcher = [[RCTEventDispatcher alloc] init];
  [spotifyModule.eventDispatcher setValue:self.bridge forKey:@"bridge"];

  // Start authenticating when the app is finished launching
  dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    [self startAuthenticationFlow];
  });
}

- (void)startAuthenticationFlow
{
  // Check if we could use the access token we already have
  if ([self.auth.session isValid]) {
    // Use it to log in
      SpotifyModule *spotifyModule = (SpotifyModule *)[SpotifyModule sharedManager];
      NSString *accessToken = self.auth.session.accessToken;
      spotifyModule.loginCallback(@[accessToken]);
  } else {
    // Get the URL to the Spotify authorization portal
    NSURL *authURL = [self.auth spotifyWebAuthenticationURL];
    // Present in a SafariViewController
    self.authViewController = [[SFSafariViewController alloc] initWithURL:authURL];
    UIViewController *rootViewController = [UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate.window.rootViewController;

    [rootViewController presentViewController:self.authViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
  }
}

- (BOOL)  application:(UIApplication *)app
          openURL:(NSURL *)url
          options:(NSDictionary *)options
{
  // If the incoming url is what we expect we handle it
  if ([self.auth canHandleURL:url]) {
    // Close the authentication window
    [self.authViewController.presentingViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
    self.authViewController = nil;
    // Parse the incoming url to a session object
    [self.auth handleAuthCallbackWithTriggeredAuthURL:url callback:^(NSError *error, SPTSession *session) {
      if (session) {
        // Send auth token
        SpotifyModule *spotifyModule = (SpotifyModule *)[SpotifyModule sharedManager];
        NSString *accessToken = session.accessToken;
        spotifyModule.loginCallback(@[accessToken]);      }
    }];
    return YES;
  }
  return NO;
}

@end

The way I want to use it from the RN end, is call authenticate, with a callback for the access token. I got this working on Android fine.

  Native.authenticate(function(token) {
    store.dispatch(actions.loginSuccess(token));
  });

On iOS, with the above code, I get to the attached screen, and when clicking Ok I get the following error:

SpotiFind[5475:29641] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '+[SpotifyModule application:openURL:sourceApplication:annotation:]: unrecognized selector sent to class 0x10cb406f8'

So from my minimal ObjectiveC understanding, its trying to call a different method, than the one that the tutorial instructs to implement. Any recommendations on how to make this work ?

If its any relevant, I build against iOS 10, and use the latest Spotify iOS SDK

ps I realize the name might be against some copyrighting, its just temp for development :)

Thanks to your tips (in the comments), we managed to make our Spotify authentication work with React-native.

We used the code from your Pastebin to create a reusable module so that nobody has to waste time anymore.

You can find the module here: emphaz/react-native-ios-spotify-sdk

There is a tutorial for the setup and we even created a boilerplate project

Thanks a lot Giannis !
