This will be my first iPhone app and I am running into difficulties that I thought I'd be able to find a tutorial on, but alas.... nothing on the inter webs that I can find.
I'm trying to get an initial 20 or so tweets from a signed in user (signed in using Parse's Twitter authentication) and I can't seem to get it to work. I put a breakpoint in when I get an error and this is what it shows:
I'm contemplating abandoning Parse all together and doing my own authentication using https://github.com/nst/STTwitter but wanted to quickly see if there was a way to simply do what I am trying to. The code is question is at this github: https://github.com/johndangerstorey/twiz and outlined below as found in my MyLoginViewController.m file:
NSString *bodyString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/home_timeline.json?screen_name=johnDANGRstorey"];
// Explicitly percent-escape the '!' character.
bodyString = [bodyString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"!" withString:@"%21"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:bodyString];
NSMutableURLRequest *tweetRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
tweetRequest.HTTPMethod = @"GET";
tweetRequest.HTTPBody = [bodyString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[[PFTwitterUtils twitter] signRequest:tweetRequest];
NSURLResponse *response = nil;
NSError *error = nil;
// Post status synchronously.
NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:tweetRequest
returningResponse:&response
error:&error];
// Handle response.
if (!error) {
NSLog(@"Response: %@", [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
} else {
NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
}
I figured it out, GET requests don't require .body or .method requests so I just removed
tweetRequest.HTTPMethod = @"GET";
tweetRequest.HTTPBody = [bodyString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
and was golden.
