I'm using the iOS DataStore API to upload data to StackMob. I get this error when I try to use my smclient initialized with my public key.
HTTP Code=401 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (HTTP error 401.)" UserInfo=0xa14dac0 {error=Insufficient authorization}
Sample code
[[self.smclient dataStore] createObject:eventDictObj
inSchema:#"EventSchema"
onSuccess:^(NSDictionary *object, NSString *schema)
{
NSLog(#"Created online event : %#", object);
successBlock();
}
onFailure:^(NSError *error, NSDictionary* object, NSString *schema)
{
failedBlock(error);
}];
And smclient is initialized as follows
self.smclient = [[SMClient alloc] initWithAPIVersion:#"0" publicKey:#"xxxxxxxxxx"];
For this use case I don't need to use the logged in user credentials to create this entry in StackMob
Make sure that the permissions are set to Open on your stack mob database.

Today Google released version 3 of its Places API for iOS. Upgrading my project and using the new findPlaceLikelihoodsFromCurrentLocationWithPlaceFieldsmethod I get the following error:
"Pick Place error The operation couldn’t be completed. An internal
error occurred in the Places API library...."
Any ideas?
Here is my complete Objective C code:
GMSPlaceField fields = GMSPlaceFieldName;
GMSPlacesClient *placesClient;
placesClient = [GMSPlacesClient sharedClient];
[placesClient findPlaceLikelihoodsFromCurrentLocationWithPlaceFields:fields callback:^(NSArray* likelihoods, NSError* error){
if(error != nil)
{
//##
NSLog(#"Pick Place error %#", [error localizedDescription]);
return;
}
for(GMSPlaceLikelihood *likelihood in likelihoods)
{
//##
NSLog(#"likelihood.place : %#",likelihood.place.name);
}
}];
Turns out Google changed things without being terribly obvious.
In my case, I used to have the "Places SDK for iOS" restriction added on the API key, but the new stuff requires the "Places API" restriction.
-(void)getGoogleCalendar{
GTLServiceCalendar *calendarService = self.calendarService;
GTLQueryCalendar *calendarListQuery = [GTLQueryCalendar queryForCalendarListList];
[calendarService executeQuery:calendarListQuery completionHandler:^(GTLServiceTicket *ticket, GTLCalendarCalendarList * object, NSError *error) {
for (GTLCalendarCalendarListEntry *calendar in object.items) {
[self getEventsForTheGivenCalendar:calendar.identifier];
}
}];
}
For the First Time after the Login it works perfect but when app starts after that it gives error
Error Domain=com.google.GTLJSONRPCErrorDomain Code=401 "The operation
couldn’t be completed. (Login Required)" UserInfo=0x79eb4f90
{error=Login Required, GTLStructuredError=GTLErrorObject 0x79fa9270:
{message:"Login Required" code:401 data:[1]},
NSLocalizedFailureReason=(Login Required)}
I am using GTMOAuth2Authentication authentication for the login and storing the user details. If the user details are not nil it doesn't ask for login and then the error occurs while fetching the calendar.
How to fetch GTLCalendar every time the app runs?
You should set the service authorizer in order to be able to make queries.
calendarService.authorizer = [GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch authForGoogleFromKeychainForName:KEYCHAINITEMNAME
clientID:CLIENTID
clientSecret:CLIENTSECRET];
I have an iPad application which allows users to login to their Gmail account(s) using OAuth2. Thus far, the login process and email fetching is successful. However, when the app is closed and then re-opened after a (long) period of time, an error is produced "invalid credentials,' even though previous logins with the same credentials were successful.
Login Flow:
1) User logs in to gmail using OAuth 2.
2) User email address and oAuthToken provided by the GTMOAuth2Authentication object are saved to core data for future logins.
3) IMAP Session is created using saved email address and OAuthToken.
Here is the relevant code
Google Login
- (void)gmailOAuthLogin
{
NSDictionary *googleSettings = [[EmailServicesInfo emailServicesInfoDict] objectForKey:Gmail];
GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch *googleSignInController =
[[GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch alloc] initWithScope:GmailScope clientID:GmailAppClientID clientSecret:GmailClientSecret keychainItemName:KeychainItemName completionHandler:^(GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch *googleSignInController, GTMOAuth2Authentication *auth, NSError *error){
if (error != nil) {
//handle error
} else {
[[ModelManager sharedInstance] authenticateWithEmailAddress:[auth userEmail]
oAuthToken:[auth accessToken] imapHostname:[googleSettings objectForKey:IMAPHostName] imapPort:[[googleSettings objectForKey:IMAPPort]integerValue] smtpHostname:[googleSettings objectForKey:SMTPHostName] smtpPort:[[googleSettings objectForKey:SMTPPort]integerValue] type:EmailProtocolTypeImapAndSmtpGMail success:^(Account *account) {
//create IMAP session using above arguments
} failure:^(NSError *error) {
//handle error
}];
}
}];
[self presentGoogleSignInController:googleSignInController];
}
Create IMAP Session Using MailCore2
- (void)authenticateWithEmailAddress:(NSString *)emailAddress password:(NSString *)password oAuthToken:(NSString *)oAuthToken imapHostname:(NSString *)imapHostname imapPort:(NSInteger)imapPort smtpHostname:(NSString *)smtpHostname smtpPort:(NSInteger)smtpPort success:(void (^)())success failure:(void (^)(NSError *))failure
{
self.imapSession = [[MCOIMAPSession alloc] init];
self.imapSession.hostname = imapHostname;
self.imapSession.port = imapPort;
self.imapSession.username = emailAddress;
self.imapSession.connectionType = MCOConnectionTypeTLS;
self.imapSession.password = nil;
self.imapSession.OAuth2Token = oAuthToken;
self.imapSession.authType = nil != oAuthToken ? MCOAuthTypeXOAuth2 :
self.imapSession.authType;
[self.imapSession setConnectionLogger:^(void * connectionID, MCOConnectionLogType type,
NSData * data){
NSLog(#"MCOIMAPSession: [%i] %#", type, [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
}];
self.smtpSession = [[MCOSMTPSession alloc] init];
self.smtpSession.hostname = smtpHostname;
self.smtpSession.port = smtpPort;
self.smtpSession.username = emailAddress;
self.smtpSession.connectionType = MCOConnectionTypeTLS;
self.smtpSession.password = nil;
self.smtpSession.OAuth2Token = oAuthToken;
self.smtpSession.authType = nil != oAuthToken ? MCOAuthTypeXOAuth2 :
self.smtpSession.authType;
[self.smtpSession setConnectionLogger:^(void * connectionID, MCOConnectionLogType type, NSData * data){
NSLog(#"MCOSMTPSession: [%i] %#", type, [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
}];
[[self.imapSession checkAccountOperation] start:^(NSError *error) {
if (nil == error) {
success();
} else {
failure(error); //FAILS WITH INVALID CREDENTIALS ERROR
}
}];
}
Once again, the above code works fine, unless the application has not been used in some time. I was not sure if I needed to refresh the OAuthToken or not, so I tried doing the following on launch of the application:
GTMOAuth2Authentication *auth = [GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch authForGoogleFromKeychainForName:KeychainItemName clientID:GmailAppClientID clientSecret:GmailClientSecret];
BOOL canAuthorize = [auth canAuthorize]; //returns YES
NSDictionary *googleSettings = [[EmailServicesInfo emailServicesInfoDict] objectForKey:Gmail];
[[ModelManager sharedDefaultInstance] authenticateWithEmailAddress:[auth userEmail] oAuthToken:[auth refreshToken] imapHostname:[googleSettings objectForKey:IMAPHostName] imapPort:[[googleSettings objectForKey:IMAPPort]integerValue] smtpHostname:[googleSettings objectForKey:SMTPHostName] smtpPort:[[googleSettings objectForKey:SMTPPort]integerValue] type:EmailProtocolTypeImapAndSmtpGMail success:^(Account *account) {
//create IMAP session
} failure:^(NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"failure %#", error);
}];
But I still get the same error. I have no idea why the OAuth token stops working or how to resolve this. Since the user is able to save multiple accounts, I am wondering if I need to save the refresh token for each account in core data and use that if the access token stops working?
(Disclaimer - I don't know iOS or the gtm-oauth2 libraries, but I do know Google's OAuth implementation.)
Conceptually you do need to persist the refresh token for the user. The refresh token is a long-lived credential which is used (along with your client secret) to get a short-lived access token that is used for actual API calls.
If you anticipate making multiple calls in a short period of time then your app will normally actually persist both the refresh token and access token (currently access tokens will last 1 hour).
That all said, it looks like the gtm-oauth2 library should be taking care of persisting these already (looks like authForGoogleFromKeychainForName does this).
What I think you need help with is getting an up-to-date access token that you can use to initiate your IMAP session.
The gtm-oauth2 library does contain an authorizeRequest method. It takes information about an HTTP request you intend to make and adds the appropriate authorization headers. It looks like this code will examine the state of the access token, and refresh it if necessary.
While I know you aren't able to make an HTTP request (you need to speak IMAP), my suggestion is to use this method with a dummy NSMutableURLRequest - and then, once it's finished, don't actually send the HTTP request, instead examine the headers it added and pull the access token from there.
See:
https://code.google.com/p/gtm-oauth2/wiki/Introduction#Using_the_Authentication_Tokens
Hope that helps - I don't have an iOS environment to test it on.
This is my bit of code doing a GET request to a REST api.
Im not sure how to get back the message if I get an error:
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
[request setURL:URL];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"GET"];
NSError *err = nil;
NSHTTPURLResponse *res = nil;
NSData *retData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&res error:&err];
if (err) // This part is never called.
{
NSLog(#"Error: %#", err);
}
else
{
if (res.statusCode != 200)
{
// show the user the status message
NSLog(#"Error: %#", res); // This part is called
}
else
{
}
}
I want to get the error message if it was not successful. But the if (err) block is never called. err is still null, although the statuscode is 400.
And if successful I will get back a json response.
In the code above I get back a statusCode of 400
The error block is not called because the error object is created only if a system level error occurs. This does not happen because the request is sent correctly and the server sends a response. If you are in control of the server, you should probably make it return status code 200 and include an app level status code in the response, that would tell your app that the entered credentials are incorrect.
Edit:
To get status message you can use
+ (NSString *)localizedStringForStatusCode:(NSInteger)statusCode
This is a class method of the NSHTTPURLResponse class.
if (res.statusCode != 200)
{
// show the user the status message
NSLog(#"Error: %#", [NSHTTPURLResponse localizedStringForStatusCode: res.statusCode]); // This part is called
}
Take a look at the NSError class reference:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSError_Class/Reference/Reference.html
You can try to log the error message from the localizedDescription.
you are receiving this status code because- The Web server (running the Web site) thinks that the data stream sent by the client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) was 'malformed' i.e. did not respect the HTTP protocol completely. So the Web server was unable to understand the request and process it
to log above problem in respect to ios visit this link
If you read the documentation of sendSynchronousRequest...
error
Out parameter used if an error occurs while processing the request. May be NULL.
this mean that erro will be a valid NSError object in case there is a problem to resolve the request, like a malformed URL.
If the request can be resolved error will be NULL and according with HTTP protocol and depending to the server that you are trying to connect, the NSHTTPURLResponse object will contain all the information about the request.
In general is an error think that every status code different than 200 is an error, for example for a REST based API 204 mean empty data, and in this case the request is finished successfully but the requested resource is just empty data, and this is not an error.
So about your question, is absolutely fine that error is NULL most of the time, if is not mean that there is an issue before reach the target server, in general you have to consider both, error and according to the server that you are trying to talk the status code maps, in most of cases the REST pattern
I am using the Google CLient Libraries for Objective C available here..
I have successfully been able to Authorize the user and get refresh token. (Using the GTMOAuthenticaion api embedded within).
In the Selector called after successful authorization I make the Get User Profile request as follows.. (I need the id of currently loggedin/authenticated user)
-(void)viewController:(GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch *)viewController
finishedWithAuth:(GTMOAuth2Authentication *)auth
error:(NSError *)error {
if (error != nil) {
NSLog(#"Stop");
} else {
if ([auth canAuthorize]){
[Mediator plusService].authorizer = auth;
// Problematic Line
GTLQueryPlus *profileQuery = [GTLQueryPlus queryForPeopleGetWithUserId:#"me"]; // Notice the UserId Param
profileQuery.completionBlock = ^(GTLServiceTicket *ticket, id object, NSError *error) {
if (error == nil) {
self.mediator.gProfile = object;
} else {
NSLog(#"GPlus Service Error %#", error);
}
};
[[Mediator plusService] executeQuery:profileQuery completionHandler:
^(GTLServiceTicket *ticket, id result, NSError *error) {
if (error)
NSLog(#"Some Service Error %#", error);
}];
}
}
}
If I put "me" as parameter, I get invalid user ID error string in jSON response.
However, If I provide some userId like my own 113632923069489732066 it works perfectly fine and returns the appropriate jSON response..!!
The Example for Google Plus inside Examples folder also fails to get current user profile ending with following error.
Error Domain=com.google.GTLJSONRPCErrorDomain Code=400 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (Invalid user ID: {0})" UserInfo=0x7a670fa0 {NSLocalizedFailureReason=(Invalid user ID: {0}), GTLStructuredError=GTLErrorObject 0x7a67b130: {message:"Invalid user ID: {0}" code:400 data:[2]}, error=Invalid user ID: {0}}
P.S. My API Console application doesn't work with iOS option under installed app but needs be configured with "Other" option. When configured with iOS option, the oAuth fails with invalid_client error response.
My Mistake .. !! And a very silly one .. !!
I was signing in using a Gmail Account that was yet not associated with GPlus .. !! =/
