It seems like your oauth2 code doesn't distinguish between the consumer_key and the client_id. I am trying to use it against Fitbit's oauth2 implementation and because your code treats them as one and the same, I either get an "invalid client_id" error or an "invalid consumer_key" error.

Any plans to distinguish between the two?

For OAuth version 2 only client_id is used by this framework event if the variable is named consumer_key (also named client consumer key, client key sometimes)
see

"client_id=\(self.consumer_key)"
 parameters["client_id"] = self.consumer_key

So if you use OAuth version 2 , use the "Oauth2 client id" into consumerKeyattribute

Only for OAuth version 1, consumer_key is used with this name for authentification header

authorizationParameters["oauth_consumer_key"] = self.consumer_key

The name is the same just to factorize code between the two class

You can comment, I will reopen the issue if necessary
