Did anyone else change their permission on Twitter to rwdm and now their app
doesn't show anything? I changed mine, and today I had to reauthorized my
account because nothing would load inTo the app. Now it works as usual after I
re added my info. Am I the only one? could possibly just be a
Hi Matt,
I have started implementing these changes. The app's permissions setting is
set to Read, Write DM (the new one).
However, when the user gets redirected to the auth page, it still indicates
that the app will not be able to read or send DM's. Is this something that
will automatically
I wish they would just tell the developers to go to hell in a way and let us
know they hate us instead of doing these back handed attacks on our apps all
the time. This has very very little to do with privacy. Especially for the
developer that wants to abuse accounts, this doesn't stop them and
On that day when your users open up our various clients and see issues with
direct messages I suggest you insert your own DMs to your users with succinct
descriptions to the root of the problem and links to further info.
It looks like there is no way to prevent having to update apps for those

Yes janol, everything but twitters official apps will fail. This is
specifically aimed at client apps. It is a way to specifically Target client
apps because it deals only with DM's which are mostly viewed through client
applications. And specifically you said even tweetdeck, I would say
I'll give an example for people using multiple accounts. From a customer point
of view. I have 12 Twitter accounts, and I use 3 separate clients for different
things. When this comes out I will have to re-authorize 36 times over these 3
apps alone. And they won't work until I do. If I was a

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the applications won't quit working altogether.
You'll get a 403 error when trying to access DMs through the API. Everything
else should work as normal.
Has there been a better official answer if this affects Twitter's own apps
other than this:

Cartmetrix, We don't know for sure what will happen. That's kinda the problem.
My guess is we all prepare now by making our app request rwdm access, then when
the switch takes effect any token that has been changed with this update will
then need to be reauthorized. Not effecting us now, but

The way I read the FAQ posted is _only_ apps requiring DM read access will be
affected under the following endpoints:
/1/direct_messages.{format}
/1/direct_messages/sent.{format}
/1/direct_messages/destroy.{format}
That would be much better cartmatrix but either way, its a negative and
unnecessary to take this approach. I am still a bit sceptical that everything
will still work fine, just if they try to send a DM it will fail to a 403
error. There is language in the post that suggests both outcomes as
Hey everyone,
We recently updated our OAuth screens to give users greater transparency
about the level of access applications have to their accounts. The valuable
feedback Twitter users and developers have given us played a large part in
that redesign and helped us identify where we can do more.
Matt,
You say:
This means applications which use xAuth and want to access direct
messages must send a user through the full OAuth flow.
What if the client using xAuth has no browser and therefore cannot go
through oAuth? Does this mean that direct messages cannot be accessed?
Is there a
Sounds good! Also sounds like you folks are finally trying to get rid of
xAuth :-)
Of course, for desktop (and mobile) applications this will mean that
they will have to integrate the normal OAuth flow. Yay!.
In the past, I've seen several occurrences where popular clients weren't
affected

Gentlefolk,
This is way too short an amount of time to implement OAuth and
transition mobile users off of an xAuth based client.
