Twitter.com SSL Certificate fails in Android 2.1

[raviv_dev]

I have an Android app that opens a WebView to login to Twitter, suing http://twitter.com/oauth/authenticate?oauth_token=xxx
The last navigation is to https://twitter.com/oauth/authenticate.
Unfortunately, the SSL certificate for twitter.com is rejected by Android 2.1 because “The certificate is not from a trusted authority”.
You can see it by navigating to “https://twitter.com” using an Android 2.1 device. it works fine on Android 2.2

Is there a different OAuth login endpoint that works in Android 2.1?

Thanks,
Raviv

Hi Raviv,

First make sure that you’re using api.twitter.com when using the /oauth/* steps.

We haven’t otherwise seen issues connecting to api.twitter.com over SSL on Android. The certificate recently changed, as you can read about in this thread: [node:533]. Do you see the same behavior when you use api.twitter.com?

Ive seen this problem when the explorer wasnt updated.

Hi Taylor,

Using “api.twitter.com” did the trick.

Thanks.
