I have this error when using OAuth Instagram

I have my client ID pasted in but when I ran the app on the simulator, it shows the error below. My codes are exactly identical with those from the tutorial.

"

{"code": 403, "error_type": "OAuthForbiddenException", "error_message":"Implicit authentication is disabled"}

"

Go to Manage clients under instagram/developer. Then click edit under your app and uncheck Disable Implicit OAuth. It will now work as intended.
