iOS开发：我需要做的就是发布一条推文

Question

I've been researching the latest ways to integrate Twitter into my app and it appears the best (most painless) approach is to use the MGTwitterEngine, and the best tutorial I could find to implement this is a 3-part series . If all I need to do is allow the user to login to their twitter account and post a single tweet that's always the same, is there an easier way to do that than following the tutorial I linked to?

Thanks so much for your wisdom. If the alternatives aren't much easier, no problem, I'm not so lazy that I can't follow a tutorial, I was just wondering if there's a quicker way that I didn't see.

Answer 1

Create a button that opens a UIWebView when clicked. Build the URL using details here: http://twitter.com/about/resources/tweetbutton . Simple - about 10 lines of code.

Answer 2

I'm a big fan of st3fan's (Stefan Arentz) https://github.com/st3fan/iphone-twitter project. It's very easy to integrate and includes whole views that you can just use, easily customizable too.

Plan your Twitter implementation ahead - with an iPhone project you will want to use xAuth authentication which does not require a round trip to the web browser.* You have to first register your app and then request permission for your application to use this method. Check the Twitter developer pages for more details.

*or not. But I hate leaving the app to post tweets.
