It seems that Google is cool with their current tutorials directions being outdated for weeks and months at a time. Ive yet to find a simple working sample of how to let a user oauth with google and get access to calendar api's anyone have a clue on this? Im 2 days and a bottle of Excedrin deep at this point, begging for mercy on my soul. Here is what ive tried:
https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/ios/additional-scopes#before_you_begin -seems to work , but not for accessing calendar
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/quickstart/ios - Outdated, ive yet to find anyone claiming to of gotten this set of examples to work, googles official response on Github issues can be summed up as "opps....yeah bro, sorry bout that will get to it eventually were overhauling everything over the next few months."
I just want a simple, easy to follow way to get access to gCal api.

I've been trying to update my dead blog Devilish Heels but I'm running into a problem with Twitter. New tweets and old tweets all say data:blog.metaDescription. I don't know much about Twitter, and can't seem to find a way to fix or remove that portion.
I have spent five hours searching the net and adding one twitter card after another to my blog with my blog and twitter info, but nothing changes. (Pretty sure I need to reset template at this point) I don't know what else to do. I tried all the different solutions from others who had similar issues but nothing is working for me.

So I am writing a rails application for my friends food truck business.
The functionality that I am trying to create with this specific application is the ability for him to update the google map by posting a Geo-location tag on twitter.
A lot of the ruby gems that deal with google maps seem to be depreciated so I'm a bit lost at the moment. If anyone could just point me in the correct direction I would appreciate it.
I realize that this feature is just a quality of life feature but id like to be able to do it with embedded ruby and not have to break out the JavaScript (ugh). Ideal this kind of automation would be great for this particular type of website because my friend won't always have access to the back-end of the website when he is on the move. (Already able to update a map from an admin backend but its not good enough for a business that moves multiple places in a given day.)
anyways, thanks in advance. (if anyone wants me to post any of my code I will.)
So after reading your question, I thought it would be fun to tinker with the Twitter API again since I haven't used it in a while.
I went ahead and created a sample application for you that basically does what you were asking for. It looks for recent tweets from a user, grabs the latest one, then updates a Google map with a marker on that location.
Keep in mind that this was quickly thrown together, so it's far from perfect. But all the concepts should be there!
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the app or anything else. I'm always happy to help.
So I've searched high and low for this, and I can't really seem to find anything conclusive. This seems to be the general case for most things concerning calendars, scheduling, events and the like.
So I'm well along in my project, and I've been working on implementing calendaring, events and the like. Using full calendar with my rails app, it gets the job done. I've been thinking lately, I could get that to a suitable level, but because I can't find any comprehensive calendaring solution (can't imbed google calendar functionality etc), what if I created a "restful?" interface for CalDAV to connect to? I'm not quite sure where to begin, or if CalDAV even uses anything like a RESTful interface...
How do Google and Apple do it?
If I could get that working, then I could just let people use their calendar app of choice. Anyway. Do you guys have any thoughts or insights into this realm?
Cheers!

Searching around the net for almost 1 day I still did not see any simple good example of an app that implements the Google Calendar API. Or even simple explanation on how to implement the API is still not available. Can someone help me please? I'm a newbie to iOS. I need to learn how to create an event using the Google Calendar API through my app in iOS. I need a sample simple code...
Here are some very useful links when trying to figure out the google calendar api. http://code.google.com/p/gdata-objectivec-client/wiki/GDataObjCIntroduction and mainly http://code.google.com/p/iphone-gcal/. I just downloaded the source code from the second link and worked from there. It was great!
The Google Calendar API, like most Google API's, provides a straightforward REST interface. Instead of focussing first on how to create calendar events, learn how to interact with a RESTful web service. Once you know how to do that, you only have to learn what calls to make to accomplish your goal, and that's already well documented.
Has anyone got any suggestions on where to start with building a google map into a rails app? I would like users to be able to add a marker by clicking the map, and have spent a few days looking for a suitable tutorial or plugin (beyond ym4r), to little avail...any help would be much appreciated as I am finding the Google Maps API rather difficult to get into! I've also come across the railskit for google maps - does anyone have any experience in using it?
Just fyi, I made https://rubygems.org/gems/gmaps4rails which is a useful wrapper with several options.
I probably wouldn't use YM4R. We tried it and found that it doesn't add much value because it just wraps the API. I would recommend working with Google Maps directly from JavaScript. Google Maps API documentation is pretty good, and there are quite a few examples on the web.
There is an example of a click handler on the map here, and adding a marker is just a matter of doing
map.addOverlay(new GMarker(latlng));
