Has anyone been able to get the OAuth access token for a user after being granted access to that users account?

twitter mentions using a process called "Reverse Auth" in there iOS docs, but I can't seem to find any mention of it anywhere else.

I'm feeling a little lost here so if any one can provide some inside it would be much appreciated.

More information on using Reverse Auth has been released by Twitter here.

    I'm having trouble generating the signed request for step 1. Do we actually have to create the request headers ourself or can we use TWRequest somehow? I keep getting this error "Failed to validate oauth signature and token" – Randall Dec 14 '11 at 03:14
  • Yes, this is a dummy question but is there a function from ios framework to send this request (such as TwRequest) ? – Thomas Decaux Jun 10 '12 at 15:15
  • From my understanding, you have to generate the request yourself. This is the only way you could get a token and secret to get at the access_token endpoint. – Ying Sep 03 '12 at 20:19
