iOS URL scheme twitter://user?screen_name=SCREEN_NAME not working anyomre

Question

I want to redirect the user of our iOS App to our Twitter profile page with the URL scheme: twitter://user?screen_name=SCREEN_NAME

I recently noticed that this opens the Twitter app as expected but it shows a screen as if I used it for the first time:

The app is also completely frozen, I can't touch anything. If I keep the app open and klick on the UIButton in our app again, the profile will be shown correctly but still without being able to touch anything.

The only way I can get this to work is if I start the Twitter app before and let it open (in background). If I select the UIButton in our app now, everything works fine, the profile is shown and I'm able to interact with the Twitter app.

I think that there might be a problem of the Twitter app to handle such URL schemes on app start, but works when the app is already running.

Does anyone else experience this problem or have a solution for this issue?

Answer 1

Weirdly deleting and reinstalling the Twitter app fixed this problem. Still don't know why it happened though...
