Twitter engine SA_OAuthTwitterEngine integration? - iphone

Question

I successfully added SA_OAuthTwitterEngine in my app but I got a very strange issue. When I login in to Twitter my app will crash in:
- (void) OAuthTwitterController: (SA_OAuthTwitterController *) controller authenticatedWithUsername: (NSString *) username
{
[_engine sendUpdate:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"This Tweet for testing!"]];
NSLog(#"Authenicated for %#", username);
}
The app crashes on [_engine sendUpdate:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"This Tweet for testing!"]];. If I use [_engine sendUpdate:nil]; instead then it will work without crash but tweet cannot be sent from my account.
When I am trying to trace on sendUpdate method then I got actual problem on [theRequest prepare]; statement in following function,
- (NSString *)_sendRequestWithMethod:(NSString *)method path:(NSString *)path queryParameters:(NSDictionary *)params body:(NSString *)body requestType:(MGTwitterRequestType)requestType responseType:(MGTwitterResponseType)responseType
{
NSString *fullPath = path;
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#://%#/%#", (_secureConnection) ? #"https" : #"http", _APIDomain, fullPath];
NSURL *finalURL = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
if (!finalURL) {
return nil;
}
OAMutableURLRequest *theRequest = [[OAMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:finalURL consumer:self.consumer token:_accessToken realm: nil signatureProvider:nil];
if (method) {
[theRequest setHTTPMethod:method];
}
[theRequest setHTTPShouldHandleCookies:NO];
// Set headers for client information, for tracking purposes at Twitter.
[theRequest setValue:_clientName forHTTPHeaderField:#"X-Twitter-Client"];
[theRequest setValue:_clientVersion forHTTPHeaderField:#"X-Twitter-Client-Version"];
[theRequest setValue:_clientURL forHTTPHeaderField:#"X-Twitter-Client-URL"];
// Set the request body if this is a POST request.
BOOL isPOST = (method && [method isEqualToString:#"POST"]);
if (isPOST) {
// Set request body, if specified (hopefully so), with 'source' parameter if appropriate.
NSString *finalBody = #"";
if (body) {
finalBody = [finalBody stringByAppendingString:body];
}
if (_clientSourceToken) {
finalBody = [finalBody stringByAppendingString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#source=%#", (body) ? #"&" : #"?" , _clientSourceToken]];
}
if (finalBody) {
[theRequest setHTTPBody:[finalBody dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
}
}
[theRequest prepare];
// Create a connection using this request, with the default timeout and caching policy,
// and appropriate Twitter request and response types for parsing and error reporting.
MGTwitterHTTPURLConnection *connection;
connection = [[MGTwitterHTTPURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:theRequest delegate:self requestType:requestType responseType:responseType];
if (!connection) {
return nil;
} else {
[_connections setObject:connection forKey:[connection identifier]];
}
return [connection identifier];
}

Answer 1

Yes, at last i solve my problem. i Just replacing code,
- (SA_OAuthTwitterEngine *) initOAuthWithDelegate: (NSObject *) delegate
{
if (self = (id) [super initWithDelegate: delegate]) {
self.requestTokenURL = [NSURL URLWithString: #"https://twitter.com/oauth/request_token"];
self.accessTokenURL = [NSURL URLWithString: #"https://twitter.com/oauth/access_token"];
self.authorizeURL = [NSURL URLWithString: #"https://twitter.com/oauth/authorize"];
}
return self;
}
Modifying SA_OAuthTwitterEngine.m function. I got help from MGTwitterEngine crash in iOS5, this link.

Answer 2

I'm running iOS 6.1.3 and my device for testing is iPhone 4s. I got the same error/crash that xcode pointed the crash to [theRequest prepare]; method.
My fixed was:
OAMutableURLRequest *theRequest = [[[OAMutableURLRequest alloc]
initWithURL:finalURL
consumer:self.consumer
token:_accessToken
realm: nil
signatureProvider:nil] autorelease];
putting the autorelease on this line and checking again [_engine isAuthorized] before posting tweet:
if ([_engine isAuthorized])
{
NSLog(#"post Tweet");
. . . . . .
} else {
NSLog(#"cant post Tweet");
. . . . . .
}
I can't expalin further more, since i'm not yet familiar with this but this works for me.

Answer 3

I have made changes in the above code, because twitter api have been changed so the old one will not work.
And for any new users if they are using the above format with MGTwitterEnginer, it will not work, you will need to replace
self.requestTokenURL = [NSURL URLWithString: #"https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token"];
self.accessTokenURL = [NSURL URLWithString: #"https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token"];
self.authorizeURL = [NSURL URLWithString: #"https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize"];
