Hopefully the bump from today’s coverage pressures Twitter to stop sabotaging third-party apps and communicate with developers about how to move forward - even if subscriptions are required in the future to sustain apps like Tweetbot and Twitterrific.

Twitter for iOS offers push notifications for mentions and new tweets, but there is no streaming feature to update your timeline without manually refreshing. If third-party apps like Tweetbot and Twitterrific lose the ability to offer push notifications and streaming timelines in June, there won’t be clear replacements for native apps with similar features - especially from Twitter.

It’s a massive change to how third-party Twitter clients will need to operate without proper communication from Twitter just two months before it is implemented. Since updating your timeline with other methods is rate-limited by Twitter, you will see delays in real-time updates during sporting events and breaking news.įor now developers must resort to creating workarounds that try to address the upcoming changes, but Twitter is not detailing how its Enterprise Account Activity API will work or how much it will cost developers.

However, despite many requests for clarification and guidance, Twitter has not provided a way for us to recreate the lost functionality. We are incredibly eager to update our apps. If you use an app like Talon, Tweetbot, Tweetings, or Twitterrific, there is no way for its developer to fix these issues.

Push notifications will no longer arrive.

The problem is an upcoming change to how Twitter allows third-party apps to access “streaming services” which power push notifications and updating timelines. After totally killing Twitter for Mac, Twitter’s next move appears to be taking some seriously useful features out of third-party Twitter clients: push notifications and streaming. Losing the ability to receive notifications and update timelines as new tweets arrive would significantly limit apps like Tweetbot and Twitterrific which serve the Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
