It looks like you're checking authenticationSuccessful but this only returns true during an actual app authorization flow. However, since you're setting your access token manually, this doesn't apply. You can used isLinked to check if you have an access token set instead:

Note that this doesn't validate the access token against the server though. If the access token has been revoked, later API calls will fail.
