Integrate twitter to IPhone application - iphone

Question

I am hoping to integrate Twitter to my application. My project is created with ARC support. When i added the Twitter framework i also flagged the .m files with -fno-objc-arc.
I could login to twitter (meaning, the authentication process works), and after the authentication that application crashes when i click the tweet button.
1.) This is what gets called first, twitter authentication works fine.
-(void)loginTwitterUser{
if(_engine) return;
_engine = [[SA_OAuthTwitterEngine alloc] initOAuthWithDelegate:self];
_engine.consumerKey = #"xxxxxx";
_engine.consumerSecret = #"xxxxxx";
if (![_engine isAuthorized]) {
UIViewController *controller = [SA_OAuthTwitterController controllerToEnterCredentialsWithTwitterEngine:_engine delegate:self];
if (controller) {
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
}
_engine - i have declared this is the .h file, but did not synthesize it in the .m
This is where we are going to tweet
-(void)tweetThis:(id)sender{
[_engine sendUpdate:#"Tweet something"];
}
3.) other delagate methods
#pragma mark SA_OAuthTwitterEngineDelegate
- (void) storeCachedTwitterOAuthData: (NSString *) data forUsername: (NSString *) username {
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[defaults setObject: data forKey: #"authData"];
[defaults synchronize];
}
- (NSString *) cachedTwitterOAuthDataForUsername: (NSString *) username {
return [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey: #"authData"];
}
#pragma mark TwitterEngineDelegate
- (void) requestSucceeded: (NSString *) requestIdentifier {
NSLog(#"Request %# succeeded", requestIdentifier);
}
- (void) requestFailed: (NSString *) requestIdentifier withError: (NSError *) error {
NSLog(#"Request %# failed with error: %#", requestIdentifier, error);
}
#pragma mark SA_OAuthTwitterController Delegate
In the NSLog username is null. Why is this ?
- (void) OAuthTwitterController: (SA_OAuthTwitterController *) controller authenticatedWithUsername: (NSString *) username {
NSLog(#"Authenticated with user %#", username);
}
- (void) OAuthTwitterControllerFailed: (SA_OAuthTwitterController *) controller {
NSLog(#"Authentication Failure");
}
- (void) OAuthTwitterControllerCanceled: (SA_OAuthTwitterController *) controller {
NSLog(#"Authentication Canceled");
}
The application crashes in the MGTwitterEngine.m at the return statement.
- (NSString *)sendUpdate:(NSString *)status inReplyTo:(unsigned long)updateID
{
if (!status) {
return nil;
}
NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"statuses/update.%#", API_FORMAT];
NSString *trimmedText = status;
if ([trimmedText length] > MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH) {
trimmedText = [trimmedText substringToIndex:MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH];
}
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:0];
[params setObject:trimmedText forKey:#"status"];
if (updateID > 0) {
[params setObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%u", updateID] forKey:#"in_reply_to_status_id"];
}
NSString *body = [self _queryStringWithBase:nil parameters:params prefixed:NO];
return [self _sendRequestWithMethod:HTTP_POST_METHOD path:path
queryParameters:params body:body
requestType:MGTwitterUpdateSendRequest
responseType:MGTwitterStatus];
}
How can i resolve this ?

Answer 1

Check your SA_OAuthTwitterEngine.m and try to implement the changes below. You should change http to https.
- (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;
}

There's no reason for you to do that, twitter integration has been optimized.
