[twitter-dev] Can I do this with OAuth?
Hi all, Some apps (e.g. TwitBird for iPad) have a very simple and straightforward authentication process: once a user downloads and runs the app, it asks for his username and password and then it automatically logs in the user, and adds the app to the list of his authorized applications in http://twitter.com/settings/applications. Can this be done with OAuth? Right now I glimpsed over the OAuth docs for Twitter as well some tutorials on the Web, but apparently they all open up a browser and redirect users to Twitter and ask him to explicitly grant Twitter access to the app. Is there a way to use OAuth, but provide a smooth all in-app user experience to the user like TwitBird does, and if so, where can I find more about it? -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: https://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: https://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/twitter-development-talk

Re: [twitter-dev] Ampersand
This is OT for this list, but you need to use NSString's -stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: method (or similar) to encode characters correctly for URLs. l8r Sean On May 27, 2011, at 9:10 PM, R wrote: I'm using cocoa and NSUTF8StringEncoding.

[twitter-dev] oAuth with twitpic or yfrog photo uploads in mobile apps
I am having some trouble integrating either yfrog or twitpic into my app. All the others I see are asking for users names and passwords inside the app, and not using oauth. Is it possible to let people post pictures to their stream using one of these services if the application uses only oAuth and not xauth? I am just assuming the people asking for account and passwords are using xauth. I am trying to integrate it using their new API which uses oauth access tokens. I get this error consistently: Timed out verifying authentication token with Twitter.com. This could be a problem with TwitPic servers.

[twitter-dev] TweetDeck technical problem
This is not strictly a dev question, but I was hoping others here may be able to suggest or redirect. I have recently started using Bodhi Linux, but I have not been able to get TweetDeck to work on it. Bodhi is based on the Ubuntu distro, but it's a minimalist version, and the user must use apt-get to pull down other software and components. TweetDeck works great on Ubuntu, but I have yet to make it work on Bodhi. I can install AIR and TweetDeck, but when launching TweetDeck the first time, it says: Oops, TweetDeck can't find your data TweetDeck is having trouble using some of your passwords that are stored securely on your machine. Clicking Submit will clear this data so that you continue to use TweetDeck. Please note that you will have to add your accounts to TweetDeck again. OK There is no submit button, per se, but clicking the OK button leads to second dialog box that says: Sorry, Adobe AIR has a problem running on this computer TweetDeck is having trouble storing your passwords securely. Please check the article at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/492/cpsid_49267.html for information on what may be wrong and how to fix it. OK Clicking OK will only redisplay this second message repeatedly. Clicking the close control button will close the dialog, but it is impossible to subsequently add a user account. I plan to try to contact Adobe, but perhaps someone here may know the issue or can provide a solid reference for help. The question is what component needs to be installed to store passwords on Linux with Gnome? Kwallet is not the ticket (KDE). The gnome keyring service is running, but there appears to be a subsystem missing for the password storage for Gnome Desktop apps. Any ideas? -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: https://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: https://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/twitter-development-talk
[twitter-dev] Re: oAuth with twitpic or yfrog photo uploads in mobile apps
Frank - A lot of the existing examples you see on the Internet use basic oAuth, but these are just old examples, and you must use oAuth. It's possible to make it work - I've made a basic TwitPic prototype, so I know it's doable. (Still working on 4sq tho!) You simple need to master the oAuth process, plus you have to deal with the IMAGE upload and submittal process. Here's the PHP tutorial that helped me master TwitPic image uploads - http://shkspr.mobi/blog/index.php/2010/05/howto-twitpic-and-oauth And, here's some file uploading background info as a good reference - http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_file_upload.asp ~Patrick On May 28, 6:55 pm, Frank Ash nut...@gmail.com wrote: I am having some trouble integrating either yfrog or twitpic into my app. All the others I see are asking for users names and passwords inside the app, and not using oauth.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: New 2 Android twitter app
ok I got it...my app was actually client type, but even though its a client native app on android, it has to be browsable for the callback url to work, EVEN THOUGH the callback_URL you configure on dev.twitter.com is just for looks cause you end up redirecting to your app anyway. :) Thx for all the help. -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: https://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: https://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/twitter-development-talk
