iPhone and Twitter API OAuth Consumer Keys and Secrets - iphone

Question

I have a issue while loading my data from Twitter. The method I posted below works for about 5-10 minutes then it freezes up my consumer keys....
I know it is the keys because I have the app already installed on the device working then I will make changes and run on the simulator and it affects the device as well. This last for about 30 minutes then the keys seem to refresh themselves and work without any changes to the actual code. Sometimes I will just go in Twitter Dev were my application is and reset the keys and replace the keys in my code and that works for about 10 minutes then the same thing happens!
Here is the code I am using to call out to twitter OAuth and receive the objects for my UITableView.
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
if(_engine) return;
_engine = [[SA_OAuthTwitterEngine alloc] initOAuthWithDelegate:self];
_engine.consumerKey = #"key";
_engine.consumerSecret = #"key";
UIViewController *controller = [SA_OAuthTwitterController controllerToEnterCredentialsWithTwitterEngine: _engine delegate: self];
if (controller)
[self presentModalViewController: controller animated: YES];
else

Yes Sorry I should have came back and answered this!
First make sure your requests are not going over Twitters API request Limit, I was simply while reloading my table view.
After Fixing that mistake I the proceeded to reset my keys wrote a request to Twitter API to use xAuth "it only takes a few days to be accepted" then I have not had any issues since.
I did not use my keys until I received the letter from Twitter saying I was accepted and I have not had any issues since.
I hope this helps because I know how frustrating that can become !
Good Luck!
