I am reporting the same issue as this person, whose issue just closed due to lack of activity without a solution. I am teaching a class and have a developer account with team access. The flow for my students is they create an account, share the handle with me, I invite them to the team, they get credentials and do their assignment.

Many, perhaps a dozen, have experienced the blank page. They experience it first when they accept the invite (with a “Hmm That’s wierd” message). Fortunately the invite registers as accepted on my end, but when they proceed to the developer portal they get it again. This keeps them from getting credentials and completing the assignment. I can attach many screenshots from the many students who have encountered this (was going to post five but your system is restricting me to two).

Possible leads:

  • I also encountered blanks on the Developer Portal at some point. I’m not sure how I worked around it but I did eventually. Perhaps they’re inheriting the problem from me?
  • One student reports “when I clink the developer portal hyperlink on the assignment set up page it leads me here where I see the class account . after that I click the class tab and it goes to the error page.”
  • The experience of me and at least one student was that the issue somehow resolved itself at some point with enough random clicking around or refreshing or something.
  • You will see from the student screenshots that this is a cross-browser problem
  • You will see from the student screenshots that some students get the Hmm error and others just get a blank page. So there may be two errors. If I remember right, I got both, the error message after accepting the invite and the blank on trying to go to the portal.
  • I’ve asked students who are getting this to screenshot their JS console. Will follow up.

This problem is interfering with my ability to provide 100 students with access to the Twitter API, more if it continues into upcoming terms. That isn’t good for me, them, or Twitter. Please prioritize this issue so that I can continue to rely on the stability of Twitter for teaching introductory programming.

Can you share more images please?

Not sure if you’re kidding, but yes, a student came through with a screenshot of their js console.
