Invoke authorization when evernote client doesn't login could lead to crash.

[jinksw]

in my app, I call EvernoteSession.authorize(this) to start authorization. then the evernote sdk's progress dialog show, and later ,a crash dialog was shown.

I find that it only happened when I didn't login in in the Evernote app.

when I have already login in in the Evernote app, and then call EvernoteSession.authorize(this) from my app,It can work.

so ,for simplicity. the issue is when I don't login in in the Evernote App,It will crash when third part app use Evernote App to authorize. and I use YinXiangBiJi app.

here is the log message.

The issue was in the main Evernote app and not the SDK itself. It's been fixed and you should update Evernote. Version 7.1 was released on Friday last week together with the fix.

Thanks for your help!
