Question

Hi there. Firstly thanks for creating this awesome wrapper!

I used this library a while back, and did not run into really any issues. However after using it recently I cannot seem to login without having to complete a challenge. I have tried using the built in challenge repository without much success.

Now I'm trying to create a quick resolver for this purpose. Unfortunately the csrftoken appears unavailable from ig.state.cookieCsrfToken and it is only returning 'missing', both before and after attempting to login.

I'm wondering if anyone else has ran into this or how they solved the challenge problem? (FYI trying to keep this as far away from another challenge question)

Thanks

Code

const ig = new IgApiClient();
ig.state.generateDevice(username);
await ig.simulate.preLoginFlow();
console.log(ig.state.cookieCsrfToken); -> 'missing'
const loginResponse = await ig.account.login(username, password);
console.log(ig.state.cookieCsrfToken); -> 'missing'

So do we have any workarounds for it?
