Failed to get request token on Android M running D

Question

Twitter login failed in Android 6.0 preview devices. Its working fine on all other devices.

Below code is used to initialize fabric with twitter.

TWITTER_ KEY and TWITTER_SECRET keys were obtained from twitter app settings.

    TwitterAuthConfig authConfig = new TwitterAuthConfig(TWITTER_KEY, TWITTER_SECRET);
    Fabric.with(this, new Twitter(authConfig));

Here is the error log i got during login using TwitterApiClient.

Answer 1

After going through a lot of solutions, one that worked for me is just add - twittersdk:// as one more callback URL in the setting section of your twitter app.

Answer 2

1. Make sure your Callback Urls is inputted.
2. Make sure Twitter app is installed on your device(Android, iOS)

Hope this help. It work well for me (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/79450).

Answer 3

this is the best solution when twitter auth not working without app. i tried with valid firebase auth callback url but not working and i also search this problem a lot but not getting the exact solution, @Moinkhan solution worked for me and save my time, thanks to @Moinkhan, it works

Before this solution i tried valid url and even google.com too. But for my case it was not working.

i found below solution and it work well for me.

Step 1: go to your twitter app setting https://apps.twitter.com/ >> Tab settings >> Fill this text "twittersdk://" to your callback url field( i found it in lib class)

Step 2: Save your update

Step 3: check out your app again

Answer 4

I have same problem and solved. In my case i need to set callback url in twitter dev account.

Twitter dev account->setting->callBack url(set any valid url like www.google.com)

Answer 5

Create your Your Access Token in Key and Access Token tab

Answer 6

I was facing the same issue(just moments back).

Go to Twitter Application Management ->
Click on the 'app' on which you are currently working ->
Click on 'Settings' tab ->
1) Callback URL: Insert any valid url(like homepage of your website)
2) Enable Callback Locking (It is recommended to enable callback locking to ensure apps cannot overwrite the callback url): Verify that it is unchecked

Twitter Kit tries to use a webview if the twitter app is not found.
The webview part of Twitter kit needs to override the callback url.

Info about Callback Url field clearly states: To restrict your application from using callbacks, leave this field blank.
So, we need to write down any valid url :)
