Thanks Taylor, I've applied yesterday and got a reply. Unfortunately since we still don't have the art for the game I can't provide the screenshots. So I'm putting the xAuth process to a halt until I have it published in the App Store / Android Marketplace.
But I basically wanted to know what are the criteria that Twitter uses for approval / denial. From what you wrote I believe I won't be having much problems once the app is done. I've checked Web Intents as you suggested, but I'm not sure it is the appropriate solution for what I want. I really don't want the user to type any messages, only used the "canned" message defined by my app. On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 12:35 PM, Taylor Singletary <taylorsinglet...@twitter.com> wrote: > Hi, > You can apply for xAuth access by emailing a...@twitter.com and including as > much about your native application as possible, preferably with links to > screenshots.
