"A server with the specified hostname can not be found"

I am trying to authorize my app on Instagram with SimpleAuth and the NSError description states "A server with the specified hostname can not be found". It mentions my redirect URI, which is "https://photobombers://auth/instagram".

When I created my client on the Instagram developer website, it would not accept my redirect URI until I put the "https:" in front of it.

I obviously don't own the domain that I put down for my URI, but I could not get the form to submit any other way. Please help.

You need to provide a valid URL. https://photobombers://auth/instagram is not a valid, nor working URL.
