This is obviously unintended and I'm working on a fix. On Apr 30, 2011, at 9:09 AM, Tom van der Woerdt wrote: > It sounds like all UIWebView, WebBrowser and probably Android's WebView are > blocked.

Although I'm personally a strong advocate of the protocol redirects, I can assure you that we have not actively blocked access to the OAuth screens in any context or browser with these updates. If you're having trouble with the auth screen in a web view, I'm going to need more information from you because there's no debugging tool for a UIWebView in third party apps. If you can trap any rendering or script errors from a browser view control in your development environment, please send them to me and I'll use them to look for any problems. Email me directly if you prefer.

Re: [twitter-dev] New oAuth Authorization screen is unusable on phone webbrowser control
In an embedded view, the developer can access the content of the website without the user knowing it (read passwords, usernames, etc). On most OSes (definitely iOS, WM7 and Android) this is not possible in the non-embedded (webbrowser) view. Tom On 5/1/11 1:02 AM, Dean Collins wrote: Why is it safer Tom? Safer for who?
