Twitter iOS 5.0 'via iOS' information

sensor108 opened this issue 13 years ago · comments

Hi everyone,

i have an issue with ShareKit 2.0 integeration on iOS 5 devices. When i use the SHKTwitter class to share an item all works
perfectly smooth. But, if i look at the Tweet on my Twitter account, i allways see the info on the bottom of the Tweet 'via iOS' instead of the App i use as the twitterConsumerKey and twitterSecret. On iOS 4.3 this works fine as it seams to use the SHKOAuthSharer. Tweets send this way have the info: 'via MySpecialAppName' which is a link and could be set to the iTunes store.

What can i do to fix this? Or is this an issue of the TWTweetComposeViewController?

AFAIK there is no way to set this in TWTweetComposeViewController. It apparently needs some polish both from Apple and Twitter, see https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/2875

Thank you very much VilemKurz.
It really seams to be an issue between Spple and Twitter.

Some update: I have read somewhere, that after your app gets approved and is on the appstore, the info is automatically changed to state your app. No guarantee though...
