TwitterKit: Manually create a TWTRSession - twitter

Is there anyway we can manually log user in and create a TWTRSession to be continued using with TwitterKit? I have tried:
NSDictionary *twSessionInfo = [self.accountHelper getTwitterCredential];
TWTRSession *twSession = [[TWTRSession alloc] initWithSessionDictionary:twSessionInfo];
[TwitterKit setValue:twSession forKey:#"_session"];
but Twitter class doesn't have _session property.
Any help would be appreciated.

Default Login
In general, the easiest way to login with Twitter is to use the standard:
[[Twitter sharedInstance] logInWithCompletion:^(TWTRSession *session, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Session: %#", session);
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
Custom Login
However, if you would really like to use your own login information (say your app had already been using a custom Twitter login and you want to migrate to TwitterKit), then you can do something like this:
TWTRSession *session = [[TWTRSession alloc] initWithAuthToken:#"cwimJSZ3Hatv1" authTokenSecret:#"HdDFPKWPwLj49DH4p4kNz9cX2" userName:#"TestUser323" userID:#"8723892340"];
[[Twitter sharedInstance].sessionStore saveSession:session completion:^(id<TWTRAuthSession> session, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Session: %#", session);
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];

Fabric Twitter Login issue when account is not setup?

I am using Twitter's fabric too login via twitter & to get user's detail. I am using below code for that.
[[Twitter sharedInstance] logInWithCompletion:^
(TWTRSession *session, NSError *error) {
if (session) {
NSLog(#"signed in as %#", [session userID]);
} else {
NSLog(#"error: %#", [error localizedDescription]);
}
}];
It is working fine when I have configured twitter account in settings of iPhone i.e. added user name & password in twitter app of iPhone.
But if that is blank & no twitter account is configured I can not login & will get the error Request failed: unauthorized (401)
Is there any way in which I can ask user to enter his/her username & password ?
Thanks in advance.

Okay so I figured this out for anyone that happens to find this.
Go to you developer.twitter app (their website).
Add a callback URL in the apps settings. (doesn't matter what it is)
The button will work now.
You can check like this :
if (![TWTweetComposeViewController canSendTweet]) {
NSLog(#"No Twitter Accounts");
}
if you want without going settings you need to use fabric way login. In documentation they use button, I don't know your application's lifecycle but at this point you can show this button somewhere and ask them to login maybe. here is some code from documentation :
TWTRLogInButton* logInButton = [TWTRLogInButton
buttonWithLogInCompletion:
^(TWTRSession* session, NSError* error) {
if (session) {
NSLog(#"signed in as %#", [session userName]);
} else {
NSLog(#"error: %#", [error localizedDescription]);
}
}];
logInButton.center = self.view.center;
[self.view addSubview:logInButton];
hope it helps.

openActiveSessionWithPublishPermissions / requestNewPublishPermissions publish_actions not adding permission

Using SDK 3.22.0.
if (FBSession.activeSession.isOpen) {
[FBSession.activeSession
requestNewPublishPermissions:#[#"publish_actions"]
defaultAudience:FBSessionDefaultAudienceFriends
completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"error = %#", error);
NSLog(#"session open = %d", session.isOpen);
NSLog(#"session.permissions = %#", session.permissions);
NSLog(#"session.accessTokenData.declinedPermissions = %#", session.accessTokenData.declinedPermissions);
}];
}
else {
[FBSession
openActiveSessionWithPublishPermissions:#[#"publish_actions"]
defaultAudience:FBSessionDefaultAudienceFriends
allowLoginUI:YES
completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, FBSessionState status, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"error = %#", error);
NSLog(#"session open = %d", session.isOpen);
NSLog(#"status = %lu", status);
NSLog(#"session.permissions = %#", session.permissions);
NSLog(#"session.accessTokenData.declinedPermissions = %#", session.accessTokenData.declinedPermissions);
}];
}
I'm testing with a user that doesn't have yet publish permissions and never declined it either. On FB Apps Settings on this account, the App Visibility is set to "Friends" and publishing permissions are not even on the settings list as they are for other users/apps.
In both cases of the code, the FB app opens and returns to my app immediately, without asking permissions. Response of declinedPermissions is an array with publish_actions.
My expectation is that FB app will ask the user to approve publishing.
I got reports from multiple users that experienced the same issue - not being able to add publish permissions, but some are able to get the permission.
One thing to add is that I had the same issue before submitting the app for FB approval with users outside of the test group, but when app got approved it started working for those users. Now it seems like the problem persists even when the app is approved, just for random users.
Am I doing anything wrong with the way I'm asking for permissions?
Looks like this worked:
- (BOOL)hasWritePermissions {
if (!FBSession.activeSession.isOpen) return NO;
return [FBSession.activeSession.permissions indexOfObject:#[#"publish_actions"]] != NSNotFound;
}
- (void)requestWritePermissions:(void(^)(BOOL status, NSError *error))callback {
if (self.hasWritePermissions) {
callback(YES, nil);
return;
}
if (FBSession.activeSession.isOpen) {
[FBSession.activeSession
requestNewPublishPermissions:#[#"publish_actions"]
defaultAudience:FBSessionDefaultAudienceFriends
completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"error = %#", error);
NSLog(#"session open = %d", session.isOpen);
NSLog(#"session.permissions = %#", session.permissions);
NSLog(#"session.accessTokenData.declinedPermissions = %#", session.accessTokenData.declinedPermissions);
if (self.hasWritePermissions) {
callback(YES, nil);
}
else {
callback(NO, error);
}
}];
}
else {
[FBSession
openActiveSessionWithPublishPermissions:#[#"publish_actions"]
defaultAudience:FBSessionDefaultAudienceFriends
allowLoginUI:YES
completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, FBSessionState status, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"error = %#", error);
NSLog(#"session open = %d", session.isOpen);
NSLog(#"status = %u", status);
NSLog(#"session.permissions = %#", session.permissions);
NSLog(#"session.accessTokenData.declinedPermissions = %#", session.accessTokenData.declinedPermissions);
[self requestWritePermissions:callback]; // this time, with an open session
}];
}
}
If there's no session, I run openActiveSessionWithPublishPermissions and then run again requestNewPublishPermissions.
Issue is that openActiveSessionWithPublishPermissions was firing the callback without even going to Facebook app for more permissions (looks like FB bug, will report), but this approach seems to solve it.
Another issue I found is that session.permissions are not always reflecting the permissions on Facebook. The only way I found to ensure I have the latest permissions is to issue an API request:
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"/me/permissions" completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
and check the result.data array for granted/declined permissions.
I had a similar issue with this method. I ended up opening the session with a full set of permissions (read & write ) and it solved my problem.
-(void)requestPublishPermissionsWithCompletion:(FBHandlerComp)completion{
if (self.session.isOpen && [self.session.permissions containsObject:#"publish_actions"]){
//we have an open session and all neceassarry pemissions
completion(true,nil);
}else{
//something in missing, to account to all diffrent scenarios (missing persmission, expired tokens, changes in user sessting etc..), we reinisilise the session and request permissions
//for publish permissions we need to ask for the whole set( read& publish)
NSMutableArray *permissions = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:self.writePersmissions];
[permissions addObjectsFromArray:self.readPersmissions];
self.session = [[FBSession activeSession]initWithAppID:nil permissions:permissions defaultAudience:FBSessionDefaultAudienceFriends urlSchemeSuffix:nil tokenCacheStrategy:nil];
[self openFacebookSessionWithCompleteion:^(BOOL result, NSError *error) {
if (result) {
completion(true,nil);
}else{
if (LOGGING_IS_ON) DebugLog(#"could not get publish permissions- could not open session %#",error);
completion(false,nil);
}
}];
}
}

Can't get permissions for user_birthday and user_hometown in facebook-ios-sdk

I am not able to get the permissions for user_birthday and user_hometown.
I tried it with this code before but it only asks for the public profile and ignores others.
[FBSession openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:#[#"public_profile",#"user_birthday",#"user_hometown"]
allowLoginUI:YES completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, FBSessionState status, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NBAppDelegate* appDel = (NBAppDelegate*)`[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
[appDel sessionStateChanged:session state:status error:error];
}
if ([session isOpen]) {
[self loginWithFBToken:session name:sender];
}
}];
Then someone suggested to ask for additional permissions after getting the public profile, so i even tried that to no good.
Here is the code for that
- (void)loadFbDetails
{
NSArray *permissionsNeeded = #[#"user_hometown", #"user_birthday"];
// Request the permissions the user currently has
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"/me/permissions"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
if (!error){
// These are the current permissions the user has:
NSDictionary *currentPermissions= [(NSArray *)[result data] objectAtIndex:0];
// We will store here the missing permissions that we will have to request
NSMutableArray *requestPermissions = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:#[]];
// Check if all the permissions we need are present in the user's current permissions
// If they are not present add them to the permissions to be requested
for (NSString *permission in permissionsNeeded){
if (![currentPermissions objectForKey:permission]){
[requestPermissions addObject:permission];
}
}
// If we have permissions to request
if ([requestPermissions count] > 0){
// Ask for the missing permissions
[FBSession.activeSession
requestNewReadPermissions:requestPermissions
completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, NSError *error) {
if (!error) {
// Permission granted
NSLog(#"new permissions %#", [FBSession.activeSession permissions]);
// We can request the user information
[self makeRequestForUserData];
} else {
// An error occurred, we need to handle the error
// See: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/errors
}
}];
} else {
// Permissions are present
// We can request the user information
[self makeRequestForUserData];
}
} else {
// An error occurred, we need to handle the error
// See: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/errors
}
}];
}
-(void)makeRequestForUserData
{
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"me?fields=birthday,hometown"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
if (!error) {
// Sucess! Include your code to handle the results here
NSLog(#"user events: %#", result);
} else {
NSLog(#"error: %#" , error);
}
}];
}
All it does is recursively go between my ios app and the fb native app, returning only with the public_profile in the permissions array.
Looks like i am missing something?
It should work if you're using an admin user of the app. Once you want to use the extended permissions with other users, you have to get your app reviewed by Facebook first.
See my answer here: facebook extended permission
Facebook does not allow apps to access that information by default. You have to ask permission to Facebook for you to be able to use that information. Add a video and instructions for a Facebook employee review how you're using birthday and hometown intel.

Simple twitter timeline iOS (only read tweets for no register user)

I want a twitter timeline to be displayed in a View, without the user having to put your twitter account, simplemete read the tweets and hashtag, of the accounts that I have selected during the programming of the app.
Is it possible? Where do I can find info for this?
All I see includes login in twitter.
Thank you.
You can use STTwitterAPIWrapper
Firstly using Twitter you must create an app , because you must use key and secret of your app in the code.
For example :
STTwitterAPIWrapper *twitter = [STTwitterAPIWrapper twitterAPIApplicationOnlyWithConsumerKey:YourTwitterConsumerKey
consumerSecret:YourTwitterConsumerSecret];
[twitter verifyCredentialsWithSuccessBlock:^(NSString *username)
{
NSDictionary *parameters = #{#"q" : #"anyHashTag", #"result_type": #"recent", #"count": #"100"};
[twitter getSearchTweetsWithQuery:parameters successBlock:^(NSDictionary *searchMetadata, NSArray *statuses, NSString *refreshUrl) {
_refreshUrl = refreshUrl;
[self parseJSONString:statuses];
} errorBlock:^(NSError *error) {
//NSLog(#"-- error: %#", error);
}];
} errorBlock:^(NSError *error) {
//NSLog(#"--** error %#", error);
}];

Stackmob With Facebook Offline Sync

I have started to integrate Facebook in my app using StackMob.
I've been trying to use StackMob's offline sync, but it just seems broken.
In didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
SM_CACHE_ENABLED = YES;
SMClient *client = [[SMClient alloc] initWithAPIVersion:#"0" publicKey:#"cc5f57c8-4a5d-424d-a3e1-0594c675cad8"];
SMCoreDataStore *coreDataStore = [client coreDataStoreWithManagedObjectModel:self.managedObjectModel];
coreDataStore.cachePolicy = SMCachePolicyTryCacheOnly;
_managedObjectContext = [coreDataStore contextForCurrentThread];
When a user logs in with Facebook:
[[SMClient defaultClient] loginWithFacebookToken:FBSession.activeSession.accessTokenData.accessToken createUserIfNeeded:YES usernameForCreate:nil onSuccess:^(NSDictionary *result) {
NSLog(#"Logged in with StackMob!");
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [NSFetchRequest fetchRequestWithEntityName:#"User"];
[self.managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest returnManagedObjectIDs:NO onSuccess:^(NSArray *results) {
NSLog(#"users: %#",results);
} onFailure:^(NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"error: %#",error);
}];
} onFailure:^(NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
The problem is that the fetchRequest's result is an empty array, although the user has been created successfully.
When I change my cache policy to SMCachePolicyTryCacheElseNetwork, the fetchRequest's result is not an empty array.
Why isn't the user saved in the cache?? Also, how can I tell StackMob to save some objects in the cache only?
Thank you so much!
It sounds like a bug you can report it here. You could work around this so you don't have to globally set SMCachePolicyTryCacheElseNetwork, by using a per request cache policy. Change your fetch request to:
SMRequestOptions *options = [SMRequestOptions options];
options.cachePolicy = SMCachePolicyTryCacheElseNetwork;
[self.managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest
returnManagedObjectIDs:NO
successCallbackQueue:dispatch_get_main_queue()
failureCallbackQueue:dispatch_get_main_queue()
options:options
onSuccess:(SMResultsSuccessBlock)successBlock
onFailure:(SMFailureBlock)failureBlock];
Note that per request cache policies require the latest 2.1 SDK.
