AdafruitIO_WiFi io() call

[borghuisb]

I want to connect my ESP8266 to Adafruit.io using wifi credentials, username and key stored in eeprom. In the tutorial, config.h file, these parameters are set using '#define '. How do I set them using string variables obtained inside setup()?

Specifically, if I initialize the AdafruitIO_WiFi object by calling

AdafruitIO_WiFi io(AfIO_username.c_str(), AfIO_key.c_str(), ssid.c_str(), password.c_str());

inside setup(), I successfully connect to Adafruit.io, but the io object appears to remain local to setup(): io.run() inside loop() does not handle its inputs and no dashboard input is received.
How do I resolve? Thanks!

I've answered something similar to this before, it might not be possible using Adafruit IO Arduino:
