Configure Your Twitter App

Note

The Fabric IDE plugins will automatically create and configure a Twitter application when you use it to integrate the Twitter Kit into your app. If you would like to use keys from an existing Twitter app in your app read on, otherwise you may happily ignore this document.

You will need a consumer key and a consumer secret (collectively, a “Twitter app”) to use Twitter kits and access Twitter’s API. You can create or review an application’s settings at Twitter’s developer site

1. Go to your Twitter application’s settings at Twitter’s developer site.
2. Find your application and go to the permissions tab.
3. Select the appropriate permissions for your needs (e.g. “Read and write”)
4. If you are using login, add a placeholder URL in the Callback URL field (eg. “http://example.com”).
5. Click update settings.

Callback URL

Although Fabric will ignore the value of the callback URL, it must be set to a valid URL for the app to work with the SDK.

Allow Sign in with Twitter

If you wish to use Login with Twitter, be sure that Allow this application to be used to Sign in to Twitter is checked:

Additional Permissions

If your app requires writing Tweets or accessing DM’s you will need to enable additional permissions for your app.

Changes to the application permission model will only take effect in access tokens obtained after the permission model change is saved. You will need to re-negotiate existing access tokens to alter the permission level associated with each of your application’s users.
