Hi Dawson

we try your code in iOS and it works fine...
same code in android dosen't works, we became allways the twitter screen with the message that the token is missing...

did you try it with android?

regards

Hey Dawson,
The code had been working great in my app. However, Twitter recently deprecated the REST API v1 and now I get an error message that I should migrate to API v1.1
Could you please point as to how I should correct this?

Thanks!

In social.js, look for this

var supportedSites = {
twitter: {
accessToken: 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token',
requestToken: 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token',
authorize: 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?',
update: 'https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json'
}
};

change to

var supportedSites = {
twitter: {
accessToken: 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token',
requestToken: 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token',
authorize: 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?',
update: 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json'
}
};

Also, make sure your app in twitter has read and write permissions. Regenerate token if needed.

I made these changes but still can't get v1.1. working:

//1.1 instead of 1
update: 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json'

//in "send"
message.parameters.push(['oauth_version', "1.0"]);
client.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

The token is retrieved, but a share post is not validated (error 32).

Can anyone confirm they got this script working for 1.1?

can't get this to work... any suggestions?

var supportedSites = {
    twitter: {
        accessToken: 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token',
        requestToken: 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token',
        authorize: 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?',
        update: 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json'
    }
};

should make it work for api 1.1 for posting
