You need to call Authorize Url. This issue can apear if you call "Authenticate Url".

if you have changed your settings you'll need to regenerate the keys

  • I have regenrated the keys, But the issue is still there. – Asghar Jan 04 '12 at 11:25

    recheck all your settings, Twitter has a habit of defaulting back to read-only access. –  Jan 04 '12 at 11:26
  • still same issue. One intresting thing is that in my accesstoken which i genereate from settings page shows access level Read, write, and direct messages – Asghar Jan 04 '12 at 11:36
  • is it just twitter at fault, does your app still work? can you get your DMs ?!! –  Jan 04 '12 at 11:45
  • No i cant get DM. it says. your application does not have access to DM – Asghar Jan 04 '12 at 11:48
  • hmm. i would perhaps try deleting and restarting your twitter app form again. i had to complete this twice, before i could get my app to work. - sorry i can't be of more help –  Jan 04 '12 at 12:12
