Tweetbot For Mac

Posted on  by

Jun 03, 2015 Tweetbot 2 fully embraces the Yosemite aesthetic that was introduced in OS X last year while still maintaining much of the same functionality and layout.

Tweetbot users will be happy to hear that the Tapbots have updated their popular Twitter client today to support the just-released macOS Sierra software. When the first alpha of Tweetbot for Mac came out in July, I said I would take a look at the app again. Here we are, three months later, with the final version of.

In November, on Twitter’s limitations on third-party developers with the Iconfactory’s Gedeon Maheux. In the original article, Maheux said that development on Twitterrific 5 for Mac had stalled due to Twitter’s strict limits on how many users can login to a particular application.

While Twitterrific 5 is the first application to have been stuck in development because of these limits, another popular client seems to have claimed the title of the first Twitter app for Mac to run into the token ceiling:. For a full explanation on Twitter’s token limits and how they affect third-party app development and the Mac ecosystem, see. We are aware of Tweetbot for Mac authentication issues. We have contacted Twitter and are waiting for a response. Thanks for your patience.— Tweetbot by Tapbots (@tweetbot) Tweetbot for Mac early this morning as users began reporting that the app was no longer allowing new logins. While it’s possible that this could be a glitch in Twitter’s system, 9to5Mac was previously told that the app was on track to potentially reach the limit around the end of 2014, and the app would likely have to be removed from sale at that time.

While that didn’t end up being the case, we are only a month into the new year, so this could still be the case. The disappearance of the application from the store indicates that this may not be a mere glitch on Twitter’s end. We reached out to Tapbots developer Paul Haddad to find out how this turn of events could impact the future of Tweetbot for Mac. As many users running OS X Yosemite have undoubtedly noticed, Tweetbot currently suffers from a few bugs on the latest Mac operating system, and its design isn’t geared toward the new aesthetic.

We will update this report when we have a response. For what it’s worth, Tapbots Mac developer Todd Thomas has doubts about hitting the limit: @ will look into it. According to last token count I saw we shouldn’t be out.

@— Todd Thomas (@toddthomas) Haddad, on the other hand, posted this vague tweet just two hours after the first reports of error messages: Well I was having a pretty good week.— Paul Haddad (@tapbot_paul) Update: Although Tweetbot has not returned to the Mac App Store, the app has resumed accepting some new accounts since publication of our report, and Tapbots appears to be working on resolving whatever the issue may be.

What exactly that means for new users is unclear. It could be that a behind-the-scenes issue with Twitter is in the process of being resolved, additional tokens have been granted, or some users have logged into Twitter and deactivated their tokens, which then became available to new users. Update 2: Less than two hours after the appearance of the above message, the original token limit error has resurfaced. The app seems to be switching back and forth between accepting a few logins and returning an error message. Update 3: Tweetbot for Mac has and is accepting new logins now.

Twitter did not respond to multiple requests for comment on whether this was a legitimate token issue or the first instance of a false positive on this type of error. 3 years ago I went into more detail as to why Twitter instituted these limits in the first post (the one about Twitterrific linked above), but essentially they just want to control the “experience” of how people use Twitter. They want to be able to manipuate the timeline how they see fit, insert ads and force people to look at them, and more. They can’t really do that in third-party apps right now, but they can in their own apps. Drivers 3com Etherlink 3c905c Tx. By forcing people to move to official Twitter apps, they drive more people to see their ads and make them money.

@Alberto – I agree for sure. I don’t care if Twitter wants to monetize. It just sucks that they’re being douchebaga about how they do it. Third-party developers made Twitter what it is today. Many popular Twitter features that exist today (like replies) were created by outside devs, and those apps were the big attraction that kept people (including me) coming back to Twitter in the early days.
