Problem posting image to Twitter

Confirmed that the native Twitter client works with images and text. Having the Twitter app installed does not allow Tweetcaster or the GGTwitter functions to work.

I guess they half-fixed it? Or maybe this is more of a third-party issue than a CL issue. I hope it’s the latter, as it might be less moving parts for me (you caught me, I’M SELFISH!).

I guess it’s important to talk about why GGTwitter is such a useful library when coupled with the sharing panel. I have several twitter accounts but do not have the native twitter client on any of my phones. I use Tweetcaster, and while I can share through the panel to Tweetcaster, the only thing that is passed to Tweetcaster is a picture.

GGTwitter is nice because it takes out about 10 steps while allowing you to log into your preferred twitter account, and you can just auto-post a message and picture (at least we used to be able to do that). Maybe I’m just clinging to the hope that we can make the posting to Twitter seamless, but I really hope we can at least confirm where the problem lies.

I see that the Twitter app on my Nexus 7 was updated yesterday.  Since @Ingemear had found that it broke with a twitter app update, I wonder if this update fixed it?

I don’t believe that we have done anything on the Corona side to make this work any better.

This was a case where Twitter broke their own code.

The new version of Twitter for Android has several bugfixes, and now it works.

guess I’ll have to settle for this until I can figure out how to fix GGTwitter myself.

And it seemed such an elegant solution… quite a shame…

@Panc have you tried it with the new Twitter app installed on your Android device?  We can’t support GGTwitter, but Graham is quite responsive and might be able to provide you some help.

Yep, I was saying earlier how the Twitter app was working fine, but GGTwitter and other third party options (Tweetcaster through the sharing panel) were still swinging in the breeze.

I’ll make do with what is working for now. Gotta make a dollar out of fifteen cents these days…
