Wouldn’t it have been wiser to use OAuth since you have to request xAuth tokens from Twitter? I highly doubt they want to go handing out xAuth tokens to every user who wants to play with Tweetanium.

Learning stuff already and I’ve only been reading the source for 10 minutes. I think this will be more valuable than Kitchensink in terms of learning how an app might hang together. Thanks guys.

Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t get the Desktop version to work from the source. I downloaded it from GitHub, imported it in Titanium and launched it!

It runs per se, but instead of the application, I’m presented with a centered square window with Tweetanium as the title. Inside, all the page “components” (labels, images, textbox, etc.) are listed one after the other. There is even a crollbar on the right that allows me do go down that list. Kind of like a web page where the the CSS was not properly loaded.

I also checked in the inspector, but I haven’t noticed any errors. All the css and js files are accessible (via the ressource view).

Any pointer on what I’m doing wrong will be appreciated.

For actual production use, xAuth ends up working a little more predictably than oAuth in Titanium, and we wanted to showcase the best possible way to interact with Twitter from Titanium. Point taken though, tough for the casual user to pick up and drop in their own keys. We’ll be getting binary versions of the code distributed ASAP, hopefully in the app stores very soon.

It could be you’re running into problems because you haven’t configured a Twitter xAuth consumer key/secret.
