#Update This functionality is now included by default in the latest Parse SDK. If you need to support an older version of the Parse SDK, you might still find it useful. However, you should really just use the latest version of the Parse SDK instead.
#Purpose
To replace Parse's OAuth process with deep iOS Twitter integration (pictures included below). This requires minimal changes to your existing code, and it becomes so much easier for a user to link their Twitter account and start using your app!
#Usage
-
Create a Parse app that successfully authenticates with Twitter by following Parse's instructions.
-
Drag my "SuperParseTwitter" sub-folder into your project (make sure to check the "copy" box when prompted).
-
Add the following frameworks to your project (Select your project in the navigator, then your target, then the “Build Phases” tab, and look for the “Link Binary with Libraries” section):
- Accounts.framework
- Social.framework
-
In your view controller that contains the Parse login block, make 2 replacements:
-
Change
#import <Parse/Parse.h>to#import "SuperParseTwitter.h" -
Change
[PFTwitterUtils logInWithBlock:...];to[SuperParseTwitter logInWithBlock:...]; -
Configure your Twitter app keys in SuperParseTwitter.m (the app will throw warnings if you don't).
###You're done! Now you'll see none of this:
###And lots of this:
#Disclaimer At the time of writing, I can find no other drop-in libraries that provide this functionality. This library is (obviously) forked from Sean Cook's library, which was suggested by a Parser on this post.
##Known Issues
- Memory Management: The app never actually releases the SuperParseTwitter singleton that gets created... oops.
- Untested: I'm sure there's a few ways to make this crash.
- issue #249
##Suggested Updates
- Come up with a clever way to pull obfuscated keys from the same spot in both SuperParseTwitter.m and AppDelegate.m
- Include support for linking an existing PFUser to a Twitter account. But really, who does that?
- General code clean-up. Any help is appreciated; just initiate a pull-request!
