LinkDew is ready for Twitter’s transition to OAuth
Twitter recently reminded 3rd party developers that the “Basic Authentication” method will be removed in the coming weeks. This means that many web sites and applications, including iPhone apps, need to be updated in order to keep Twitter integration working. I expect that some old, abandoned apps in the App Store will stop working altogether.
My own LinkDew app was built for OAuth, so it will continue to work with no problem. I spent about two days writing my own code for OAuth and Twitter, because existing 3rd party code did not look very stable or well documented yet.
It appears that the popular MGTwitterEngine library is finally being updated. So, if you are writing your own app with Twitter integration, you may want to look into that instead of doing it yourself.
