Something's amiss about Twitter...

WP Central

Consider this a public announcement swain Windows Phone users, you might discover some foreign behaviour in several of your favourite Twitter-enabled apps, ours included.

We kept an eye on this story yesterday when we were alerted by Chris Field (the mind behind MehDoh) that he was spotting errors beingness returned past the Hammock library (a popular .Internet library used for accessing RESTful web services). Specifically, it appears that Twitter have changed their API slightly, or introduced a pocket-size bug, which is causing errors when users try and log in to Twitter within third party apps.

The issue is not affecting everyone. In fact I tin can authorise all my Twitter apps and use all tweeting, replying and retweeting functionality, however I've also seen users of our v2.0 app beta sending me problems reports that are acquired by this issue. If information technology happens to you, endeavour again, it might authorise second time around.

Jump past the break if you desire to know more...

If y'all hit the source link you'll see there is an ongoing word with the Twitter API staff regarding this outcome, and a couple of the developers out in that location seem to have figured out a workaround to fix whatever bankrupt in the Twitter API. I'll try to keep the technical details lite simply the issue seems to be that Twitter is sporadically encoding their API responses with GZIP pinch, patently nearly at random.

This is a serious issue that appears to be getting worse (we're seeing more and more issues reports relating to it), Chris has fifty-fifty gone and then far as to enquire Brandon Watson to speak to the powers that be inside Twitter.

Then why volition this problem be so widespread within the Windows Phone customs? Simple, Hammock is a large library, and it'southward used past probably the well-nigh popular Twitter integration library for Windows Telephone: Tweetsharp. I am a huge fan of Tweetsharp, it's i of the easiest libraries I've ever had the pleasance of utilising in any software I've written, in fact I put out a web log post expressing how easy it had been to use in the WPCentral app. In fact, the official Twitter app for Windows Telephone uses the Tweetsharp Library, information technology's that highly rated - by extension, the official Twitter app may well be affected past this issue.

Our advice? Most of the issues seem to relate to the initial authorisation/log in process, and so if you lot're logged into your favourite Twitter app, think twice before signing out and in again for whatever reason. Y'all will nevertheless be able to tweet from the 'Me' tile and then you lot can go your ready ane way or the other. Lastly, conduct with your favourite developers every bit we piece of work out a way to set up this issue ourselves, unless Twitter (or the guys behind Hammock) decide to solve the problem on their finish.
