Failed to get request token on Android M running Devices

Asked 20/10, 2015 at 4:49 Answered 5/12, 2018 at 0:46

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.

somethimes in developer console r u authenticate wia email is these confirm from your side ?? and check both virtual and real device...!!! – Optimize 1/12, 2015 at 7:19

Before this solution, I tried a valid url (even google.com). But, in my case, it did not work.

I then found this solution, which worked well for me:

Step 1: Go to your twitter app's settings by logging in at https://apps.twitter.com/ and selecting the Settings tab, then add twittersdk:// as a callback url. (I found it in lib class.)

Step 2: Save your update.

Step 3: Try your app again.

Here are the things you need to do

Twitter dev account->setting->callBack url

and then if you are doing for the android (means login using for android devices )

twittersdk://
(add this in callback)

if you are doing for the iOS (means login using for apple devices )

twitterkit-CONSUMERKEY://
(add this in callback)

and hit update settings button it will work :)

@Toggle Same Problem here and that to SDK.M Devices only........... please anybody help.......... – Vale 14/7, 2017 at 13:40

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

You saved my day. I wonder this is not working without the "twittersdk://"? Are you using Firebase UI? – Nones 31/8, 2018 at 1:29

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 :)

Personal experience obtained moments back :P

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.

Brockie answered 5/12, 2018 at 0:46 Comment(0)

Create your Your Access Token in Key and Access Token tab

Siddra answered 9/5, 2016 at 7:3 Comment(0)

I had the same problem on iOS, and found a hint here:
Apparently, it is now required to set the Callback URL to

http://twitter-oauth.callback

Sind I did so, the login works again.

Make sure your Callback Urls is inputted.
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).

Twitter mustn't be installed on the device, it will open web view instead – Infarction 31/8, 2018 at 8:35
