Ok I u installed again, but installed from Aurora store rather than F Droid and I got logged in! Thanks all

[Yimellovzski]

Any solutions yet? None of the possible solutions commented under this issue work for me. Tried using Twitter for Ipad API's and changing Oauth to xAuth and all the other solutions.

Did you clean the app cache first and then do the other steps?

Just for other people's reference, I didn't need to use the Aurora store version of the app to make this hack work. I just did app cache cleaning then changed to iPad API then switched to xAuth.

User settings, oauth, password sign in, not sign in,

For me, XAuth worked.

For me, XAuth worked.

Sometimes xauth doesn't work and sometimes oauth doesn't work, i don't know why exactly,

Unistall and reinstall twidere,

For me the only solution was generating my own API v2 key (i.e. elevated API access) through Twitter's developer portal - even Twitter Lists are working. And it seems to me this will be the best (maybe only) long-term solution. I think only some users will go through the "hassle" of generating an API key, so maybe even Twitter won't bother that much about these users of third-party Twitter clients using their own keys.

I'm currently using TwidereX version 1.6.0.59, installed through AuroraDroid (F-Droid client). I've cleaned cache and all app data before trying to use my generated API key.

[Kreuger]

Nothing works for me, including using my own API. TwidereX 1.7.0-beta1.

FYI: it seems that Twitter are definitely going after accounts using their own API keys with 3rd-party apps.

I have had success in the past using my own API v2 keys with Twidere (no 'X'), but recently I have been unable to like, post, reply, quote retweet, retweet, block or mute. That is, I have read access, but no write access. This happened during a period when I had been inactive on Twitter and have not posted, replied, liked, or (quote) retweeted — that is, I've been quiet and shouldn't be noticeable. For the past month, there's literally nothing that I've been doing other than refreshing and scrolling my feed on Twidere, and not excessively; I'm under my rate limit. Nevertheless, in the developer dashboard, I see the following message for my app, associated with the API keys I am using:

This App has violated Twitter Rules and policies. As a result, certain functions will be limited. An email has been sent to [my email address] with details. For assistance, submit a support ticket.

• They never sent me an email. I've checked thoroughly. It didn't happen.
• They don't say which "rules and policies" I've violated.
• They don't say what "certain functions" have been limited.

For the moment, I'm just going to use Twidere as a reader, and when that breaks, I'm done with Twitter.

Okay its working for me. I didnt realize I kept tapping the button that brings up the box for inserting keys and not tapping the actual signin button.

[DrAndiLowe]

Twitter have announce that they will paywall API access. How will this news, posted today, affect access to 3rd-party clients like Twidere? Does this not indicate that Twitter is going to get tougher on 3rd-party apps?

Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead

[Kreuger]

I think the cost is going to be the big decider for what happens.

[rpetti]

Apologies for the spam on this issue, just wanted to share my most recent experience.

Since the breakage a month or so ago I've been successfully using my own keys. Today, I tried switching to the "official" keys after the API cost announcement and just can't get it working. I get "Invalid API Settings" on sign-in, using all sign-in methods and combinations of settings. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling, using the default settings from Twidere, using other official keys, and nothing seems to be working.

Then I switched back to my own keys and was able to log in, but now I only have read-only access and can't post or like, whereas before I had no problem doing so. Twitter functionality is pretty much dead for me at this point.

edit: seems to have resolved itself on its own now!

After the rate limit mess earlier today, I can once again scroll my timeline and lists, post new tweets and retweet fine. But I can't like tweets anymore. I get a "Network error: empty data". I also can't load anyone's tweets on their profile page - it loads the info blurb and any pinned tweets, as well as the "likes" tab in the profile, but the tweets/media tabs are empty. Is anyone else also experiencing this?

I've been on official keys since the initial 3rd-party purge in January (iPad keys at first, Mac keys now). Swapped to Mac keys because gifs in tweets didn't show with the iPad keys, but work fine with the Mac ones.

Didn't know about the GIF thing for the Mac keys, thanks!

[abelincoln8]

xojojo - can confirm the same behavior you're experiencing on my end over the past 10-12 hours. Last cycle the limits went away after a certain period of time (12 hours? 24?) and I was able to "like" again. I'm using the iPad key. As long as I can read in the app it's all good.

Becoming increasingly concerned about the future - the native application is unusable to me.

[Hasan5750]

After you set up mac key and secret, switch to oauth2, better than oauth,

I've been using Twitter for Mac keys since February. I have no problems accessing my timeline, lists, and search, though I probably wouldn't even notice if I was missing tweets. I'm not posting anything myself anymore so can't say if notifications and such are working. But for basic scrolling/liking/retweeting it's been working fine for me.

hey AntGeth - I was able to access on a new phone this morning success and victory

update. a week ago my twitter account was "permanently suspended". no warning, no reason given. it definitely wasn't anything i said (hadn't tweeted in quite a while). all i'd been doing was reading (and maybe a like or two) using twidere (and browser). i've appealed but no word yet.

[jonas1015119]

@Hasan5750 tried Tweetnuker, using the Twitter for Android Key and xAuth (everything else didnt work) also doesnt show lists or my own profile correctly. What settings are you using? (also isnt Tweetnuker more out of date than Twidere now?)

I'm using it with twittnuker key!

[jonas1015119]

@Hasan5750 thanks, that works somehow (is someone paying for the new API access for that key?). Gonna try the Twittnuker Key on Twidere tomorrow, still having the 140 character limit is annoying. But for anyone who just wants to read that seems to be the best solution for now. Now if only TweetDeck started working properly again.
