How do I retrieve extended tweet text with C# using the Microsoft UWP Community Toolkit

I’m developing a UWP Twitter client using the Microsoft UWP Community Toolkit, which includes a set of types for working with Twitter.

I’m unable to retrieve full tweet text from the home timeline (statuses/home_timeline.json), even if I add tweet_mode=extended to my request. Is there something that needs to be updated in the toolkit’s implementation, or am I doing something wrong?

Source for the toolkit’s implementation is here:

I’ve not tested, but the pull request #2103 will be fine.
