You're getting this on the webAuth.finish line, right? This error indicates that the authorization code you're using is invalid or expired. (These authorization codes currently expire after five minutes.)

You should use the authorization only once, immediately after receiving it. After that, you can store and re-use the access token instead, without processing the authorization flow again.
