Meta tags correct, but "Invalid card type"

Hi-

My website https://www.rentcomfy.com has the correct meta tags, but it still says "Invalid card type" when using the Card Validator.

HTML renders fine on the page.

  1. <meta name="twitter:card" content="app">
  2. <meta name="twitter:description" content="Find your college pad, and get paid.">
  3. <meta name="twitter:country" content="US">
  4. <meta name="twitter:app:name:iphone" content="Comfy">
  5. <meta name="twitter:app:id:iphone" content="788690955">

You are including a tag which we don't define in the App Card documentation - twitter:app:name:iphone is not needed. Additionally, twitter:country should be twitter:app:country (and is only required if your app is NOT in the US AppStore), and twitter:description is optional for an app card.

Try those changes and let us know how you get on.

Andy-

Thanks, but in the documentation it has this in the sample code:

<meta name="twitter:app:name:iphone" content="Example App">

You pointed out that "twitter:app:name:iphone is not needed". Now I'm ultra confused.

Any pointers? Thanks
