The method you are using is called Pin-based OAuth, designed for Desktop. It's not ideal for mobile integration b/c it is cumbersome to ask mobile user to copy and paste a pin from safari browser, then open app 2nd time to paste the pin in the right place in the app. Who would want to take extra steps to authenticate such app on the go?
Plus your app would request user to enter multiple twitter accts to request matching pin for each account. Think of how many steps the same user have to do?
