I have same problem.

[adebonis]

We have 2 projects now stuck - any chance of getting a fix for this?

[adebonis]

So based on this link its an iOS11 issue - iOS 11 no longer supports using Twitter through the built-in social framework. Instead, you can use Twitter Kit 3 to Tweet, log in users, and use the Twitter API.

https://dev.twitter.com/twitterkit/ios/migrate-social-framework

Can this plugin be reworked to use Twitter Kit 3?

This is important to have a working twitter component

[oosswwaalldd]

Should be tag some of the admin guys so they can address this issue, I really need this plugin in my project

[adebonis]

So does the Pull Request solve the problem? Says its to use Twitter Kit 3 but its really only a plist file change.... #7

Any help here would be greatly appreciated - customer still waiting...

[chroa]

Sorry for the wait. I think that issue is related to your settings in the twitter app you've created. Fill in the Callback URL with "http://localhost:4000" and it should work.

[bogdanfinn]

Thanks @chroa.

Worked for me with my ios App.

I'm still getting this issue even after adding the http://localhost:4000. I've set up it up according to the readme. The Twitter Kit 3 fix is merged into master, yeah?

In xcode I am getting this error:

Any ideas?

@b-d-m-p
i read somewhere that you have to enable keychain access in the config.xml. But i dont know if this solves your problem.

<platform name="ios">
        <allow-intent href="itms:*" />
        <allow-intent href="itms-apps:*" />
        <preference name="KeychainAccessibility" value="WhenUnlocked" />
        <preference name="deployment-target" value="7.0" />
    </platform>

[b-d-m-p]

@bogdanfinn Unfortunately, that isn't working for me. One of the photo plugins I am using doesn't like that 7.0 and won't build with it. If I change it to 8.0, I can build but I am still getting the same 401 unauthorized issue. Any ideas?

[bogdanfinn]

@b-d-m-p
Here is my configuration:

config.xml:

<preference name="TwitterConsumerKey" value="myKey" />
<preference name="TwitterConsumerSecret" value="mySecret" />
...
<plugin name="twitter-connect-plugin" spec="^0.6.0">
     <variable name="FABRIC_KEY" value="myFabricKey" />
</plugin>

package.json:
under dependencies:

"@ionic-native/twitter-connect": "^4.5.2",
"twitter-connect-plugin": "^0.6.0",

under plugins:

"twitter-connect-plugin": {
        "FABRIC_KEY": "myFabricKey"
},

Make sure that your Fabric Key is in the correct structure in your .plist File of your generated xcode project.

I attached my App Settings for the Twitter App:

And here is my function for the twitter login:

// In the constructor of the class: private tw: TwitterConnect
doTwitterLogin() {
    let env = this;

    this.tw.login().then(function (result) {
     //Logged in 
     env.tw.showUser().then(function (user) {
      //Loaded Profile
      }, (error) => {
        console.log(error);
      });
    }, (error) => {
      console.log(error);
    });
  }

@bogdanfinn Dude, you saved my life. I don't know exactly what was wrong, but following your set up made it work. I think it was either the way the config.xml file was laid out or setting "Call back URL Locked" to "No" that did it. Thank you so much.

[bogdanfinn]

I am glad that I could help you :)
I searched a few hours on the internet how to solve it and at some point i get it to work with that configuration. I dont remember where i read about the "Locked" to "No"....

Maybe the Readme of this project should be updated for the future...

[b-d-m-p]

Well, one thing was when you install the plugin with the key & secret --variables, it puts them inside <plugin name="twitter-connect-plugin" spec="^0.6.0">, and it is working with them outside like your's. So, it didn't occur to me to take them out because the plugin put them there. Thanks again.
