IOS7 - SLComposeViewController - Error posting to Twitter - cannot send tweet - connection failed

I'm trying to implement a twitter post using IOS7 SLComposeViewController and I get the following error -

The Tweet "blah blah" cannot be sent because the connection to twitter failed.

I am including image and URL in my tweet - if that makes any difference..

code below - 

SLComposeViewController *composeController = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter];

[composeController setInitialText:@"i ran with 18 chickens under my armpits for 18 hours"];
[composeController addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"zoeLrg.png"]];
[composeController addURL: [NSURL URLWithString:
                            @"http://www.nme.com"]];

[self presentViewController:composeController
                   animated:YES completion:nil];

SLComposeViewControllerCompletionHandler myBlock = ^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result){
    if (result == SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled) {

        NSLog(@"delete");

    } else

    {
        NSLog(@"post");
    }

    [composeController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:Nil];
};
composeController.completionHandler =myBlock;
Solution

  • Can you check your debug console to see what error is returned? Typically, those messages will be more informative.
