                       responseType:MGTwitterStatus];


}

TwitterPostViewController.m

- (IBAction)submitTweet{

[tweet resignFirstResponder];

if([[tweet text] length] > 0){


    NSLog(@"%@",[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:@"TwitterUsername"]);

    NSLog(@"%@",[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:@"TwitterPassword"]);       


    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible:YES];

    [engine sendUpdate:[tweet text]];

}

}



- (void)requestFailed:(NSString *)requestIdentifier withError:(NSError *)error{

NSLog(@"Fail: %@", error);

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible:NO];

UIAlertView *failAlert;

if([error code] == 401){

    failAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error" message:@"Incorrect Username & Password." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];

    [failAlert setTag:10];

    [failAlert setDelegate:self];

} 
else 
{

    failAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error" message:@"Failed sending status to Twitter." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];

}

[failAlert show];

[failAlert release];

}

It shows me the fail popup of Incorrect username and password

I have checked through nslog that username and password are going correct.
what could be wrong?

Answer 1

It looks like the version of MGTwitterEngine you’re using is trying to use basic auth. That was switched off in Twitter in favour of OAuth. Get a newer version of MGTwitterEngine (or a fork that supports OAuth).
