Hi, I needed a solution to simply post status updates to Twitter from an iPhone app. Just the typical stuff customers like to ask for: „Hey, can ya make our app post some stuff to Twitter, please?“.
Using xAuth was obvious because of usability concerns – everything else would just be like a crutch. So I started with Aral Balkan's xAuthTwitterEngine (http://aralbalkan.com/3133) but it seems that it has issues with special characters (e.g. a "+"). So I just took a look around and found a lot of similiar approaches which unfortunately ended up with the same issue because they were wrapping the same underlying libraries. Instead of fixing, compiling and coupling all those libraries out there I decided to start from scratch. There were some very well designed and great libraries (like Jon Crosby’s OAuthConsumer Framework) so that I could hardly imagine how to make it any better – therefore I adapted, rewrote or slighly modified parts of them whenever the license or author gave me permission to do this. Please see Credits section for details. If someones feels underappreciated, please don’t hesitate to contact me. There's a lot of stuff to do… but posting a message to Twitter and displaying an xAuth view already works.
