    <p>From your question:</p> <blockquote> <p>I know a lot of people are doing the OAuth workflow inside of their apps using a UIWebView, but I don't agree with that and am going with the Pownce approach.</p> </blockquote> <p>The Pownce article suggests that quitting your application and opening Mobile Safari to perform the authentication step is problematic, and that they started receiving bad reviews from users for doing it that way. They also experienced a failure rate of around 40%.</p> <p>Pownce's solution is to use a UIWebView within your application instead, so I have a feeling you may have misinterpreted their recommendations. That being said, they do label this as a "naive" solution and go on to suggest a bunch of theoretical "ideal" solutions.</p> <p>Another point you might not realise is that desktop applications (using the "out of band" / pin number method) <strong>and</strong> web applications need to open the Twitter site in either an embedded or external browser.</p> <p>So you've got two choices on the iPhone:</p> <ol> <li>Open up twitter.com in a UIWebView, specifying no <code>oauth_callback</code> parameter or <code>oauth_callback=oob</code> to start the pin-based out-of-band flow. The user then needs to copy the pin using the iPhone's copy-paste functionality, manually close the UIWebView, and paste the pin into your application. The pin can then be used converted to an access token.</li> <li>Do it how everyone else is doing it (UIWebView + <code>custom-uri://foo.bar</code> in the callback parameter).</li> </ol> <p>For obvious reasons, the first option is pretty crap and really only useful on platforms where Twitter is unable to redirect to a custom URI.</p>

    1. COI did see the 40% number but wasn't sure how much I agreed with Mike's conclusion. I was actually one of the folks that fit into the 40%, as I downloaded the Pownce iPhone app then remembered that I didn't really use Pownce anyway. Looks like I'll have to go with your approach #2 though, which seems unfortunate.

    2. COI'm interested in your opinion on why approach #2 is less than ideal. It's more work than simply entering your username/password, but what are some of the other problems?

    3. COIt's not that it's more work, but it goes against the spirit of OAuth. Instead of letting the user enter credentials into a place they trust (a page clearly owned by twitter, in mobile Safari) they are putting their information directly into my application, and who knows what I'm doing with it there.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
