osx/Tweets app crashes on launch

[sferik]

When I run the default rake task, I see the following:

     Build ./build/MacOSX-10.8-Development
       Run ./build/MacOSX-10.8-Development/Tweets.app/Contents/MacOS/Tweets

    from app_delegate.rb:71:in `block in search:'

Well this will not fix that particular issue but check your url. It's probably wrong (something's missing like http or so). If the url is ok, you will not get that issue.

Just bought RubyMotion, ran this example and same error.

http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=xcode%20crash responses {"errors": [{"message": "The Twitter REST API v1 is no longer active. Please migrate to API v1.1. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview.", "code": 68}]} with HTTP/1.1 410 Gone. So osx/Tweets should use API 1.1 instead of old API.

Is anyone interested in whipping up a patch for this?

Also bitten by this. Any progress?

thoughts on bringing in Twittermotion gem? Or should all RM samples be 100% native?

btw, the v1.1 URL is going to move to this: https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=xcode%20crash

It looks like Twitter changed their API and now requires authentication even to search for tweets. So I guess we have 2 solutions here:

1) Port the sample to another "social network" (hacker news, reddit, ...) 2) Remove the sample

Thoughts?

I'm pro-switching to new social network :+1:

Thus preserving the utility of the example.
