Invalid Session Token (Code: 209 Version: 1.7.4)

Every time I go to run my app the app runs fine but the console prints an error. The error is "Invalid Session Token (Code: 209 Version: 1.7.4)"

I checked Parse.com and they told me to handle this error, writing a global utility function that is called by all of my parse request error callbacks. They said i can handle the "invalid session token" error in this global function and I should prompt the user to login again so that they can obtain a new session token. However when I try to input the code in my app I get the error that I am using unresolved identifiers.

Does anyone know how to fix an Invalid Session Token error. Or how I can use the code "kPFErrorInvalidSessionToken" in my app. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (the language I am writing in is swift)

I have tried to call ParseErrorHandler.handleParseError(err) not just only from AppDelegate, but also from other view controllers and it was not worked properly. Here is solution which works from every VC: 

class ParseErrorHandler {
    class func handleParseError(error: NSError) {

    if error.domain != PFParseErrorDomain {
        return
    }

    switch (error.code) {

        // error code 209 handling
    case PFErrorCode.ErrorInvalidSessionToken.rawValue:

        invalidSessionTokenHandler()

    default:
        break
    }
}

// NOTE: User has no other option but to log out in this implementation

private class func invalidSessionTokenHandler() {

    let message: String = "Session is no longer valid! Please login again!"

    let alert = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: message, preferredStyle: .Alert)

    var vc = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController

    while (vc!.presentedViewController != nil)
    {
        vc = vc!.presentedViewController
    }

    vc?.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

    let logoutAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default, handler: {
        (UIAlertAction) -> Void in

        let mainStoryboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
        let exampleViewController: SignUpViewController  = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("SignUpViewController") as! SignUpViewController
        vc?.presentViewController(exampleViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

        PFUser.logOut()
    })

    alert.addAction(logoutAction)
}
}

Hopefully I will save somebody's time!

Here is my solution, largely based on code in the Parse.com iOS developers guide.

class ParseErrorHandler {

    class func handleParseError(error: NSError) {

        if error.domain != PFParseErrorDomain {
            return
        }

        switch (error.code) {

        // error code 209 handling
        case PFErrorCode.ErrorInvalidSessionToken.rawValue:
            invalidSessionTokenHandler()

        default:
            break
        }
    }

    // NOTE: User has no other option but to log out in this implementation
    private class func invalidSessionTokenHandler() {

        let message: String = "Session is no longer valid, you are no longer logged in"
        let alert = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: message, preferredStyle: .Alert)

        let presentingViewController = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController
        presentingViewController?.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

        let logoutAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default, handler: {
            (UIAlertAction) -> Void in
            let loginViewController:UIViewController = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle:
            nil).instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("Login_2.0")

            presentingViewController?.presentViewController(loginViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
            PFUser.logOut()
        })

        alert.addAction(logoutAction)
    }
}

Above is the errorHandler class that should be used to catch all errors according to the Parse documentation (in this case I'm only showing error 209)

Here is how I catch this error in AppDelegate.swift within application function:

PFAnalytics.trackAppOpenedWithLaunchOptionsInBackground(launchOptions, block: {
        (suceeded: Bool?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
        if let err = error {
            ParseErrorHandler.handleParseError(err)
        }
    })

Note that the user is technically still logged in hence why logout is called

If by saying "unresolved identifiers" you mean to "kPFErrorInvalidSessionToken" then you should use PFErrorCode.ErrorInvalidSessionToken.rawValue instead. please tell me if you succeded in catching the error because all i get back is a nil NSErrorPointer.
