The old SDK version 1.3.8 worked fine, but today I downloaded SDK version 1.5.4 from Square Reader Portal and it gave me errors.

```auto
ruby <(curl https://connect.squareup.com/readersdk-installer) install \
--app-id a12a1212a123aa123a123a123a123 \
--repo-password MMMMMMMMMMM __________cworrttttttttttt45f_______ bq

```

**vvvvv SQUARE ERROR vvvvv**

**ERROR: Something went wrong. Please contact the developer of this application and provide them with this error code: authorization\_invalid\_code**

**DEBUG CODE: authorization\_invalid\_code**

**DEBUG MESSAGE: The authorization code is invalid. The authorization code may have been requested with a Square Application ID different from the one associated with this application.**

👋 Do you have multiple application in the Developer Dashboard? If so is it possible you used the wrong repo password for the application that’s configured in the Reader SDK? 🙂

I think it was a location issue since I was doing testing in India and it was working in the US.

@Bryan-Square It was working for authorization previously not for the making payment in India. So now in new SDK authorization will also not work?

Are you having authorizations fail? 🙂

@Bryan-Square yes, getting authorizations failed in

`[[SQRDReaderSDK sharedSDK] authorizeWithCode:locationID completionHandler:^(SQRDLocation * **_Nullable** location, NSError * **_Nullable** error)`

locationID - getting this from [https://connect.squareup.com/mobile/authorization-code](https://connect.squareup.com/mobile/authorization-code) by passing Registered location ID

What’s the `location_id` that you’re getting this with. Also if you delete the SDK framework and reinstall it does that. 🙂

Should I share it here? We were using an old Framework so I removed the old one and downloaded a new and added it to my project.

BTW, [https://connect.squareup.com/mobile/authorization-code](https://connect.squareup.com/mobile/authorization-code) gives me authorization\_code & expires\_at so using this I am authorizing in my app by  
`[[SQRDReaderSDK sharedSDK] authorizeWithCode` method.

Is it working now once you replaced the framework? Also its safe to share a `location_id`. 🙂
