Flickr For iOS: Could Not Communicate With Server Fix

I've seen multiple reports on Google from people trying to login to Flickr through iOS 7 Settings and receiving the 'Could not communicate with server' login failure. I changed phones last week and received the same error message this morning. The fix that worked for me is:
1. Go to Flickr through a desktop browser. 
2. Go to the your profile image in the top right and click Settings.
3. In Your Account select the Sharing & Extending tab.
4. Revoke the iOS related Account Links.
5. Login again on your iPhone through Settings and you should now have access.

I hope this helps.
