i have used tweet sheet to tweet in my app,which works fine but can’t log out after setting ..i have to re launch the app to tweet
but what i want is to make a separate login button but in twitter is it possible to login and log out from twitter inside app?
Thanks loads in advance :)
I don't think that this is possible. You have to logout in your phones Settings.
You have to provide your own UI for Twitter login. E.g. once user entered twitter credentials you can first add Twitter account and then call Tweet sheet.
I doubt if log out or delete account is possible using SDK.
Sample code to add twitter account:
ACAccountStore *store = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init] ;
ACAccountType *twitterType = [store accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter];
[store requestAccessToAccountsWithType:twitterType withCompletionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
if(granted) {
ACAccount *twitterAccount = [[ACAccount alloc] initWithAccountType:[store accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter]];
ACAccountCredential *outhCredential = [[ACAccountCredential alloc] initWithOAuthToken:token.key tokenSecret:token.secret];
twitterAccount.credential = outhCredential;
[store saveAccount:twitterAccount withCompletionHandler:^(BOOL success, NSError *error) {
if(success)
{
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:#selector(showTweetSheet) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO];
}
}];
[outhCredential release];
[twitterAccount release];
[store release];
}
// Handle any error state here as you wish
}];

I want to save the facebook account to ACAccountStore in iOS,
I will get accessTocken from facebookSDK but how to obtain tocken and secret
How to save it to ACAccountStore
Thanks in Advance.
------ Edit--------
I have an application that uses facebook to login and after with login information need to share photos that he selected.
My use cases are,
If account already in settings app then I can use it for login and share.
User using safari or webview for login then how I can proceed for sharing.
a. facebook SDK says If the user need to use OS integrated share controller then, login method used to authenticate the user must be native iOS 6.0 authentication..
b. If I need to share option that provided by facebook SDK uses facebook App I don't want this option because I want to avoid App switching as much as possible.
How to solve this..
to do it you should have an accesstoken and secret,
if (self.accountStore == nil) {
self.accountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];
}
//make credentials to assign to ACAccount
ACAccountCredential *credential = [[ACAccountCredential alloc] initWithOAuthToken:accesstoken tokenSecret:secret];
ACAccountType *acctType =[self.accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierFacebook];
ACAccount *newAccount = [[ACAccount alloc] initWithAccountType:acctType];
newAccount.credential = credential;
NSDictionary *options = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:
"xXXXXXX", (NSString *)ACFacebookAppIdKey,
[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"basic_info"], (NSString *)ACFacebookPermissionsKey,
ACFacebookAudienceEveryone, (NSString *)ACFacebookAudienceKey,
nil];
[_accountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:acctType options:options completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
if (granted == YES) {
[self.accountStore saveAccount:newAccount withCompletionHandler:^(BOOL success, NSError *error) {
if (success) {
NSLog(#"the account was saved!");
}
else {
if ([error code] == ACErrorPermissionDenied) {
NSLog(#"Got a ACErrorPermissionDenied, the account was not saved!");
}
NSLog(#"%#",error);
}
}];
}
else {
NSLog(#"%# ",error);
}
}];
I am attempting to add facebook integration into a project. In iOS 6+, I request access to the user's facebook accounts with the following code.
if (self.accountStore == nil) self.accountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];
ACAccountType *accountTypeFacebook = [self.accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierFacebook];
[self.accountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:accountTypeFacebook options:options
completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
if(granted) {
self.accountsArray = [self.accountStore accountsWithAccountType:accountTypeFacebook];
dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self updateTable:self.accountsArray];
});
} else {
NSLog(#"error: %#",error);
}
}];
If the user selects "cancel" in the modal popup that prompts for access to Facebook accounts, is it possible to prompt the user again the next time the app needs this access?
Currently, if the user first selects "cancel", the user must then go into the Settings app and manually change the permission to use facebook within the app. I am not attempting to change this permission directly, I just want to prompt the user for access multiple times.
I want to send a tweet directly from my iPhone app without showing TWTweetComposeViewController pop up
Also i want to get all followers
is there a way to do it from twitter framework on the ios5 or should i use another api!
If I have to use another api can u specify a great api for me ? because all the apis i found
on the internet was so old.
Thanks in advance
You can use TWRequest for programatically posting tweets from my app, if you are using iOS 5.0 and up. Posting tweets is quite straightforward and there is no need for an external framework or anything.
You need the #import <Twitter/Twitter.h>. You retrieve the twitter account from the iPhone account store (you could check if there are multiple accounts) and then you use the account to post the request.
Here is an example of a method for posting a tweet with an image.
- (void)shareTwitterImage:(UIImage *)image
{
ACAccountStore *accountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];
ACAccountType *accountType = [accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter];
[accountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:accountType withCompletionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error)
{
if(granted)
{
NSArray *accountsArray = [accountStore accountsWithAccountType:accountType];
if ([accountsArray count] > 0)
{
ACAccount *twitterAccount = [accountsArray objectAtIndex:0];
TWRequest *postRequest = [[TWRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://upload.twitter.com/1/statuses/update_with_media.json"] parameters:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:self.textViewOutlet.text forKey:#"status"] requestMethod:TWRequestMethodPOST];
[postRequest addMultiPartData:UIImagePNGRepresentation(image) withName:#"media" type:#"multipart/png"];
[postRequest setAccount:twitterAccount];
[postRequest performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *responseData, NSHTTPURLResponse *urlResponse, NSError *error)
{
//show status after done
NSString *output = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"HTTP response status: %i", [urlResponse statusCode]];
NSLog(#"Twiter post status : %#", output);
}];
}
}
}];
}
There are quite a few options:
Well, on iOS 6, there is the Apple Social framework, and you can use SLComposeViewController to post to Twitter as well as Facebook and Sina Weibo, here are the docs. TWTweetComposeViewController has been deprecated, devices running iOS 6 will have to run into backward compatibility -- so avoid that.
There is also ShareKit, however I do not generally recommend it, its messy and bloated. Lastly there is the Oauth Library in iOS... create a consumer key and secret key. You can also call the Twitter API with TWRequest.
That's all of them I can think of.

In case you plan on integrating TwitterKit by Twitter to perform the tweets via your custom twitter app then this might help you.

With the same methods you can get the followers list by using the following API

Hope it helps.
I'm trying to modify Apple's sample code for using the Twitter API so that I can use the streaming API to filter tweets. I am attempting to implement the method suggested in response to this question:
Does TWRequest work for the twitter streaming api?
I have created the signed NSURLRequest and NSURLConnection objects as suggested, and set the delegate for the connection object. A valid twitter account is selected and used to sign the url. The problem is that the delegates connection:didReceiveData: method is never being called.
Here's my code:
#implementation Twitter
-(id)init{
if (self=[super init]) {
NSLog(#"Twitter init");
// Tell the notification centre to inform the app if the twitter account changes
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(twitterAccountChanged)
name:ACAccountStoreDidChangeNotification object:nil];
// Create an account store object.
ACAccountStore *accountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];
// Create an account type that ensures Twitter accounts are retrieved.
ACAccountType *accountType = [accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter];
// Request access from the user to use their Twitter accounts.
[accountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:accountType withCompletionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
if(granted) {
NSLog(#"Twitter: Access to twitter accounts granted");
// Get the list of Twitter accounts.
NSArray *accountsArray = [accountStore accountsWithAccountType:accountType];
// Pick the twitter account to use
if ([accountsArray count] > 0) {
// Grab the initial Twitter account to tweet from.
ACAccount *twitterAccount = [accountsArray objectAtIndex:0];
// This is for a status filter
NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json"];
// Create the parameters dictionary
NSDictionary *dictionary=[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"twitter", #"track", nil];
// Create TWRequest object
TWRequest *req=[[TWRequest alloc] initWithURL:url parameters:dictionary requestMethod:TWRequestMethodPOST];
// Set the account
[req setAccount:twitterAccount];
// Get a signed URL request
NSURLRequest *signedRequest=[req signedURLRequest];
// Initate the connection
[NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:signedRequest delegate:self];
} else {
NSLog(#"Twitter: No twitter accounts to access");
}
} else {
NSLog(#"Twitter: Access to twitter accounts denied");
}
}];
return self;
}
return nil;
}
-(void)twitterAccountChanged{
NSLog(#"Twitter twitterAccountChanged");
}
-(void) connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data{
NSLog(#"data received");
}
The output from the program is:
2012-07-24 09:50:03.668 TwitterAPITest[36722:10403] Twitter init
2012-07-24 09:50:03.836 TwitterAPITest[36722:11d03] Twitter: Access to twitter accounts granted
As you can see, everything appears to work OK, the only problem is that the delegate method is never called and I currently have no idea why.
Any help would be much appreciated...
Mike
It took me a bit of time to get this up and running, So I thought I aught to post my code for others. In my case I was trying to get tweets close to a certain location, so you will see that I used a locations parameter and a location struct I had in scope. You can add whatever params you want to the params dictionary.
Also note that this is bare bones, and you will want to do things such as notify the user that an account was not found and allow the user to select the twitter account they would like to use if multiple accounts exist.
Happy Streaming!
//First, we need to obtain the account instance for the user's Twitter account
ACAccountStore *store = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];
ACAccountType *twitterAccountType = [store accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter];
// Request permission from the user to access the available Twitter accounts
[store requestAccessToAccountsWithType:twitterAccountType
withCompletionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
if (!granted) {
// The user rejected your request
NSLog(#"User rejected access to the account.");
}
else {
// Grab the available accounts
NSArray *twitterAccounts = [store accountsWithAccountType:twitterAccountType];
if ([twitterAccounts count] > 0) {
// Use the first account for simplicity
ACAccount *account = [twitterAccounts objectAtIndex:0];
NSMutableDictionary *params = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[params setObject:#"1" forKey:#"include_entities"];
[params setObject:location forKey:#"locations"];
[params setObject:#"true" forKey:#"stall_warnings"];
//set any other criteria to track
//params setObject:#"words, to, track" forKey#"track"];
// The endpoint that we wish to call
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://stream.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/filter.json"];
// Build the request with our parameter
TWRequest *request = [[TWRequest alloc] initWithURL:url
parameters:params
requestMethod:TWRequestMethodPOST];
// Attach the account object to this request
[request setAccount:account];
NSURLRequest *signedReq = request.signedURLRequest;
// make the connection, ensuring that it is made on the main runloop
self.twitterConnection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:signedReq delegate:self startImmediately: NO];
[self.twitterConnection scheduleInRunLoop:[NSRunLoop mainRunLoop]
forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];
[self.twitterConnection start];
} // if ([twitterAccounts count] > 0)
} // if (granted)
}];
Whenever you try and present a TWTweetComposeViewController and a user has no Twitter account added to their device they are prompted to go to the Settings app and add one. Once they are done they have to manually navigate back to the application.
Is there any way for my application to know that they have successfully added an account?
Actually, there is a way to be notified of new accounts while your application is running. ACAccountStore provides a notification ACAccountStoreDidChangeNotification which you can observe for changes using Key-Value Observing.
Ah, in that case, you can keep track of how many user accounts they had when they first launched the app, save that to NSUserDefaults. When you're putting up the TWTweetComposeViewController check to see if the number is the same as it was before.
__block BOOL accountSizeChanged = NO;
ACAccountStore *accountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];
ACAccountType *accountType = [accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter];
[accountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:accountType withCompletionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
if(granted)
{
int oldSize = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:#"myKey"];
int newSize = [accountStore accountsWithAccountType:accountType].count;
if(oldSize != newSize)
accountSizeChanged = YES;
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:newSize forKey:#"myKey"];
}
}];
