Yahoo social SDK for Iphone

Hi
After the app redirects the user to the log in to get the session and the user clicks on agree to share the information with app one is redirected to a success screen with a displaying the following message: "To complete sharing of Yahoo! info with appName enter code xxxxxx into appName.
Not sure what this means did I miss this in the documentation?

I am writing an iphone app that will allow the user to log into one of the groups that I am a member of and will allow all our activity to be managed and updated from the app. We have a photo, contacts, polls, mail and such that I would like to make accessible within the app. I am beginning to think that the social SDK was not meant for this. If not is there another way?

Thanks,
-Joe

    Hi, I actually did find the Yahoo! iphone app which was actually pretty good, however for the groups I was able to create bookmarks within it to get to the aeras I with one click, so looks like the groups feature is not integrated with the app. I guess there's no API to support this.

    Optionally I am thinking is there any way to customize this app such as adding a different icon and having these bookmarks part of the defaults so that when one downloads it -members of our group- will alrady have this set-up the change of icon will mearly reflect that this is a yahoo specific group. I suppose this app is not an open source app? My intention will be to provide this for free anyway. Does anyone know if this is possible is there anyone I should be sending this note to?

    Was that Iphone app created by Yahoo? -Just incase I asked?

    The sample that comes with the iphone YDN framework seems to hang displaying the Loading.... text. Then if I click on the safari in the simulator it takes me to the yahoo log in, is this because I added the https://yaho.../.log_in... as shown in the docs? Why does the Loading hang? besides the callback url the only things that I changed in the app was the appID and keys....

    Thanks,
    -Joe

    I'm also trying to do something similar. What I found in a related thread was that in the [session sendUserToAuthorizationWithCallbackUrl:nil]; command you want to replace the nil with a link to a site of your own which bounces back to your application via a custom URL you create in the info.plist file. Where I'm having the issue is once it's bounced back to the app how does the app get that session information. It was recommended in a different thread to put a breakpoint at ln 74 of the YOSAuthRequest.m class and check what the local variable response was showing for the responseText. It's showing oAuth information for me which leads me to believe that it should work I'm just missing a step? When I follow the example code I can never get to the [self sendRequests] it's always showing that hasSession == false and repeating the sendUserToAuthorizationWithCallbackUrl command.

    I did the way u said to me . in my info.plist file there is a URL "i changed it to my website" . when i wrote this URL by removing the nil , nothing happens in the app. It will open up my website URL in safari browser.
