Trying to \"follow\" someone on Twitter using new iOS 5 API, getting 406 return error. Why?

Is my code correct? Need to find out why this isn\'t working....

Answer 1

you can use this code

- (BOOL)openTwitterClientForUserName:(NSString*)userName {
NSArray *urls = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                 @"twitter://user?screen_name={username}", // Twitter
                 @"tweetbot:///user_profile/{username}", // TweetBot
                 @"echofon:///user_timeline?{username}", // Echofon              
                 @"twit:///user?screen_name={username}", // Twittelator Pro
                 @"x-seesmic://twitter_profile?twitter_screen_name={username}", // Seesmic
                 @"x-birdfeed://user?screen_name={username}", // Birdfeed
                 @"tweetings:///user?screen_name={username}", // Tweetings
                 @"simplytweet:?link=http://twitter.com/{username}", // SimplyTweet
                 @"icebird://user?screen_name={username}", // IceBird
                 @"fluttr://user/{username}", // Fluttr
                 /** uncomment if you don't have a special handling for no registered twitter clients */
                 //@"http://twitter.com/{username}", // Web fallback, 
                 nil];

UIApplication *application = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
for (NSString *urlString in urls) {
    NSString *candidate = [urlString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"{username}" withString:userName];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:candidate];
    if ([application canOpenURL:url]) {
        [application openURL:url];
        return YES;
    }
}
return NO;
}
