Getting com.xero.api.XeroApiException: Unauthorized error when trying to create/update invoices

I'm using Xero-Java and I'm trying to push invoices to Xero. The scopes I requested in the Ouath2 authorization were:

openid
email
profile
offline_access
accounting.settings
accounting.transactions
accounting.contacts
accounting.journals.read
accounting.reports.read
accounting.attachments

Invoking the AccountingApi.updateInvoice() method throws the error:

com.xero.api.XeroApiException: Unauthorized - check your scopes and confirm access to this resource

I was under the impression that the scope accounting.transactions would allow pushing Invoices to Xero. Where is my problem and how do I fix it? Thanks.

Looking at some logs, it seems that your access token has expired. Access tokens only live for 30 minutes.

As you've used offline_access, you can acquire a new access token for the same user by using the refresh token provided during user authorisation with a refresh request as outlined in the Readme of the SDKs github repo.

You'll probably want to check token expiration prior to each call to the Xero API.
