It sounds as if your Twitter account has been suspended. That is not the same as having your application shut down. A shut-down app means you cannot access the API at all, i.e., all your API calls are denied with connection refused.
Can you still access the API from your app and publish tweets on other Twitter accounts? If it's only your Twitter account that has been suspended, then that was done because you must have violated the Twitter Rules on that particular account, and will probably have nothing to do with API access from your app. Dewald On Aug 20, 9:11 am, AccountingSoftwareGuy <virga.rob...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > We just built and released an application to allow users to schedule > tweets.
