Authentication broken

Open veskuh opened this issue 9 years ago • 5 comments

Something changed on Twitter's authentication and currently authentication flashes the pin but autoforwards immediately to page "some info missing".

Seems to be change in how Twitter handle's Sailfish Browser. If I copy paste the authentication URL and open it desktop browser I see the PIN correctly after entering my credentials.

No fix yet. Current thinking is that I may need to use embedded webview for authentication.

What is the URL to manually get the pin?

Can confirm setting the default browser to Web Pirate lets this work as expected.

Thanks. So apparently they changed something on Twitter server side when using Sailfish Browser.

URL to get pin you can see when launch Tweetian from command line and launch the authentication. It is printted as output to console.

@JeffHoogland Interestingly it doesn't work with setting WebCat as standard browser, same behaviour as with standard browser. Doesn't webcat use the same QtWebkit engine as Web Pirate does? (Tested on Jolla C with 2.0.2.43)
