Twitter - SEND disabled if image attached?

Social Media
#1

Hi guys,

Using the social plugin, I am trying to tweet with an image attached.

The code works, the pop up appears, but if an image is attached I am unable to press “send” (it is disabled).  Without an image attached it works fine.  Incidentally I can send images from my photos folder manually just fine, so it’s not my device as such.

I am running an older OS (iOS 6.0.1)

Here is the code I’m using.

[lua]
native.showPopup( “social”,

{

        service = “twitter”,

        message = "I beat level " … Global_Player.levelIndex … “! #tinybirdstory Play here --> bhug.co/bird”,

        listener = listener,

        image = { filename=“twitter.jpg”, baseDir=system.DocumentsDirectory },

})
[/lua]

Notice in the screenshot that ‘send’ is disabled?

I can tweet photos from my albums, and I can tweet from the game with no photo attached. I’ve even tried different images and smaller file sizes < 100kb in case that was the issue. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi @BearHugGames,

May I ask why you’re using such an old operating system? iOS 6 is now a full 3 years old, and Apple has made countless changes/updates since then. I can’t vouch for what works and what does not work, especially in regards to the Social plugin and its behavior on that OS.

Best regards,

Brent

Haha, because it’s an iPhone 4 and the new OS’s tend to run even slower.

PLUS, I like having old tech and old devices - if my game runs smoothly on old junk then I’ve done a good job :slight_smile:

Just tested it on my gf’s phone, ios 7 and it worked.  Odd.

Probably have to chalk it up to the OS then.

Thanks Brent
