IOS API loginWithCompletion and logout

[jdubuke]

Hi all,
i am writing an app for an iPad that will be ‘kiosk’ based. I need to (1) present the user with a login dialog, (2) allow the input of a message (3)send the message (4)logout the user.
Currently, i can do (1), (2) and (3).
I attempt to logout the user by calling the logout function, but this seems incomplete, since the next time i come into my routine, the login dialog is not displayed - it uses my original login credentials.
Can someone tell me how I can completely log out the user via Objective-C in xCode?
Thank you,
Jerry

Sorry but it is hard to help you, without any further information. Which Framework are you using? How are you trying to logout the user?

[jdubuke]

Sorry, i will try to be more thorough…

for login, I am using:

[[Twitter sharedInstance] logInWithCompletion:^
 (TWTRSession *session, NSError *error) {
     if (session) {
      <<< show a composer dialog >>>
      <<< send the tweet >>>
     }

for logout, I am using

[[Twitter sharedInstance] logOut];

I am including

#import <TwitterKit/TwitterKit.h>

Does that help any?

Hint: Please indent code with 4 spaces, so it is displayed properly.

It seems you are using Fabric, I am not familiar with fabric so I can’t help you much. (And the category you have chosen is wrong, as this is framework-related and not REST API related)

Moved over to the Fabric category for more visibility!

[jdubuke]

now that it has been moved, can anyone assist me?

Actually I faced with the same issue on Fabric under Objective-C, need help of Fabric guru

[jdubuke]

actually, after a LOT of reading, it seems that i DO need the REST API and OAUTH to do what i need.
now gotta open a dialog back in REST1.1 to figure out how to use https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json instead of https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json in order to be able to send a picture with a status update…
thanks all,
Jerry

Hi @jdubuke and @IhorA,

The incomplete logout issue you guys are facing is actually more related to iOS persisting system accounts. TwitterKit automatically logs a user in if they were already logged in on iOS. You can workaround this behavioral in the use case of kiosk with these steps:

1. login to Twitter in system settings > Twitter
2. Attempt to login using your app
3. Disallow access to Twitter accounts when the grant access dialog comes up:
   

This prevents TwitterKit from accessing your system accounts and every user will have to login. Hope this helps!

Does anyone have a legitimate solution of how to effectively logout with Fabric? all of these threads lead to empty “solutions” that all revolve around the same answer of calling [[Twitter sharedInstance] logOut]; . Perhaps someone could show a code snippet or photo that is actually helpful

Check out this stack overflow answer. It has to do with the logOut method not clearing the app’s cookies.

How to make User logout from twitter fabric ios

Hello,friends I suggest one Of the best Solution for LogOut the Twitter Account using Fabric SDK for ios

- (IBAction)LogOut:(id)sender
{
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://api.twitter.com"];
    NSArray *cookies = [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] cookiesForURL:url];
    for (NSHTTPCookie *cookie in cookies)
    {
        [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] deleteCookie:cookie];
    }
}

this not workin for me i am doing in Swift 3 and REST API 1.1

let store = Twitter.sharedInstance().sessionStore
if let userID = store.session()?.userID {
    store.logOutUserID(userID)
    Twitter.sharedInstance().sessionStore.logOutUserID(userID)
 }

when i retrive it. without login but they found they dont logout

let client = TWTRAPIClient.withCurrentUser()

While this example is in Android, it may help as an example for you: https://twittercommunity.com/t/how-to-logout-from-twitter-account-with-android-application/79751/3?u=bonnell
