How to parse one drive access token from url using objective-c

Question

I know it seems to be a silly question and URL parsing is easy to search, but I am really facing hard time to get the access token from the given URL below.

https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf?lc=1033#access_token=EwCIAq1DBAAUGCCXc8wU/zFu9QnLdZXy%2bYnElFkAAcXV/IZULfKdn7RHvXY8CmB1J2c0PgYOldbBLp023y1BilHNHPQBeAflk4edFfbK2Fwdazg/mFi900PbS013mQqEE93d/4NlutyY9MK%2bU/q0QjInVfTPdxAQvc5RLevnMsqiS7H77Eg9K5YJCjQKTGE4ILhRO60UEyIXU2GgL4eNmYX3%2b64wrnL5q3QBmD%2bXFgkkk6EKvbncUdUeGWj%2bzlgKSiXT06QMK1LKhcFFrrOQj3spgnkyx5LmrDsBcDIAUxrMZ%2bF3kwutGEj7nfZTovuR/FT4XE221wLXZEpSydIwi20EGiGcYBsWw5mPqCRvPShL3dYd0%2bMLczvmu0iTQgK3kYDZgAACD9QFp4Vqf%2b9WAE2rBZLy%2bGoHEP3vivVKIYz2znPU/IRmNGmq8FRLhrwm/YcByRfIQOj9AGoqwL0wsgTj5lD4DIwlPWREI1zj%2bAKTGDZilkewxzncpwynF5ZAxHrT3iEjqyqAIpvtzY1xAiGj8Swqu1uLcEUS6p7c/Qk2HiSc1GY6%2bnc9epmkhSxIGi9HHTmnREaRxgbjbqLDZ5%2bLYhQLu9k%2bHjadfwoKFQpquN3NjbVi3LpZpHb2gfhr%2bf17XcLhEHb1xQnNg7rVVbvGe8FAgp9kZrkzzbFXY8jKzsjfRW%2bIUkNvcnLD39eFDs%2b/og2nxT8jE/qkKLW9wfgcDkfMnGWpIvQrCT6XrqvDaDCEVJ0rCiUG/L33SELLlBP3g8fLNjUOZ5K0ztksreaSH/4YCQdnS%2bopl2EG7PFl8ckDfzvVO5RqZS/SoSpa9h61regG37qzjLf2d%2bvxUPhW2FepeUwA28B&token_type=bearer&expires_in=3600&scope=wl.signin%20wl.offline_access%20onedrive.readwrite%20wl.basic&user_id=6c0a5d79b74cefa0c6d9d5f302a14876

My code

    NSString* u = [[[[frame dataSource]request]URL]absoluteString];

    NSString* output = nil;
    if([u hasPrefix:@"https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf"])
    {
        NSMutableDictionary *queryStringDictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
        NSArray *urlComponents = [u componentsSeparatedByString:@"&"];

        for (NSString *keyValuePair in urlComponents)
        {
            NSArray *pairComponents = [keyValuePair componentsSeparatedByString:@"="];
            NSString *key = [[pairComponents firstObject] stringByRemovingPercentEncoding];
            NSString *value = [[pairComponents lastObject] stringByRemovingPercentEncoding];

            [queryStringDictionary setObject:value forKey:key];
        }
    }

Result

    "expires_in" = 3600;
    "https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf?lc" = "EwCIAq1DBAAUGCCXc8wU/zFu9QnLdZXy+YnElFkAAYQSbBaTYP1E4GlmB6vPpa9noNLSSg+FzA88BgdO2lFbr3EzR9POPhf417OAqXB7dlhZ7q/3AEhxthlBwFb3IebkElbeKUZll0QeIf7HniteFGJA0nD81xv01CHwjnJ0g/eIuh2GH8kE8/dL9seRMN4ngayEpV4Kp5/k3o1z9nDhtmn9/pZfspIlXo75Km9n2hqPAGt+7przBmYZZZGgLiQitQDCQEBidgKDfLjBmO5ZjbYFGuwCJz1Hmlsbs+e45MuF+VF4uk7ocAu8CQnFrYdVusPPS04QR2EzUkGt3uEBM7jmqnjZfM+EJ78kggmuPXuxkMarNsGiMYdzigNxIHEDZgAACE0dTsiQuAaFWAFL7tvmsSOprKe2jx4FrRgZhWn5F9vQTKw9thK63urFSY79m/CbLqQSlEMKLi4mRptJa+tXKFpg9anxHMyfvMSDQ5ryWK291qJX5W5Yv5syxSm3u6PEo8KM9WmeAdCW/trJzrCIVPrSdshzvI2N5Iu+SP9igWGDoWdE6uoH7G0ZA8gPn2v3NagzVNKUyIKuceiT3fI20nBCYx/6+N5Z/WWKmmkyuuAqo3kH5+FrGz2lz4F5tP0UOdYjY6q73RqUQMLwdJ2/3UNb3BcE/98nGbOgKMtCPPCx0GaPBwOPlVkvxqMa6oeNaHmArZNsyhwuvJEfWEbB+HLXtE5gYG5PziybUDeLa+uIJda9z0Tb9HRyMb+I2nA7+SMkhgITyo2OplaTMRVrKAGHViEDVSBMbspkbG6tV/nk/7SC3/cICXGPFX9u29sEcGe6l0onMQougQvhuXs90CFVNkVG8B";

    "token_type" = bearer;
    "user_id" = 6c0a5d79b74cefa0c6d9d5f302a14876;
}

Problem

As you can see in the above result, there is a key https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf?lc I think it should be Access_Token

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you so much.

My simple solution:

NSString *url = @"https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf?lc=1033#access_token=EwCIAq1DBAAUGCCXc8wU/zFu9QnLdZXy%2bYnElFkAAcXV/IZULfKdn7RHvXY8CmB1J2c0PgYOldbBLp023y1BilHNHPQBeAflk4edFfbK2Fwdazg/mFi900PbS013mQqEE93d/4NlutyY9MK%2bU/q0QjInVfTPdxAQvc5RLevnMsqiS7H77Eg9K5YJCjQKTGE4ILhRO60UEyIXU2GgL4eNmYX3%2b64wrnL5q3QBmD%2bXFgkkk6EKvbncUdUeGWj%2bzlgKSiXT06QMK1LKhcFFrrOQj3spgnkyx5LmrDsBcDIAUxrMZ%2bF3kwutGEj7nfZTovuR/FT4XE221wLXZEpSydIwi20EGiGcYBsWw5mPqCRvPShL3dYd0%2bMLczvmu0iTQgK3kYDZgAACD9QFp4Vqf%2b9WAE2rBZLy%2bGoHEP3vivVKIYz2znPU/IRmNGmq8FRLhrwm/YcByRfIQOj9AGoqwL0wsgTj5lD4DIwlPWREI1zj%2bAKTGDZilkewxzncpwynF5ZAxHrT3iEjqyqAIpvtzY1xAiGj8Swqu1uLcEUS6p7c/Qk2HiSc1GY6%2bnc9epmkhSxIGi9HHTmnREaRxgbjbqLDZ5%2bLYhQLu9k%2bHjadfwoKFQpquN3NjbVi3LpZpHb2gfhr%2bf17XcLhEHb1xQnNg7rVVbvGe8FAgp9kZrkzzbFXY8jKzsjfRW%2bIUkNvcnLD39eFDs%2b/og2nxT8jE/qkKLW9wfgcDkfMnGWpIvQrCT6XrqvDaDCEVJ0rCiUG/L33SELLlBP3g8fLNjUOZ5K0ztksreaSH/4YCQdnS%2bopl2EG7PFl8ckDfzvVO5RqZS/SoSpa9h61regG37qzjLf2d%2bvxUPhW2FepeUwA28B&token_type=bearer&expires_in=3600&scope=wl.signin%20wl.offline_access%20onedrive.readwrite%20wl.basic&user_id=6c0a5d79b74cefa0c6d9d5f302a14876";

NSURLComponents *components = [NSURLComponents componentsWithString:[url stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"#" withString:@"&"]];
//get query items
NSLog(@"%@", components.queryItems);

result will be:

NSArray *queryItems = components.queryItems;
        NSString *TheToken = [self valueForKey:@"access_token" fromQueryItems:queryItems];

NSLog(TheToken);
