New App Registration Flow

medmatest147 · 2014-03-06T12:38:13.000Z

Hello Team,
I am a developer using Twitter 1.1 API for automatic tweet but every time twitter is asking for login and authorize how i fixed it please please help me…
I want to tweet on twitter in background process same as justunfollow.com and tweetlonger do.
Thanks in advance.

How I can create an application to allow my users to send tweets without having to turn your mobile phone? It seems absurd. I have paralyzed a very important project for that reason.

The mobile phone number requirement is probably the dumbest thing you could have done.
I understand making it harder for malicious users to take advantage of your service, but you are ruining a lot of peoples potential to develop with your API by assuming they can afford a cell phone.

What about people who dont want to disclose their phone number into your service? Assuming I still want to develop, some phone services do not support shortcodes.

What about companies that develop apps for twitter? They would have to go buy mobile phones in order to text your numbers, or require their employees to do so.

Really dropped the ball on this one. Theres a ton of really useful data that can be derived from the API and now you expect those without phones to actually submit a request and have someone real approve it.

And as usual the icing on the cake is that you don’t even care enough to respond to this thread!

fooliganAD · 2014-03-10T09:20:14.000Z

Is there seriously NO solution here?

I have the same problem from Spain. This policy is absurd.

Totally agree with you!!

I’m getting complaints from people using my code libraries about this. One just now from Australia. So thanks to Twitter for adding to my workload. And also just to echo the general sentiment here - what a ludicrous requirement. People wishing to abuse the system will just go and buy an anonymous simm card, leaving legitimate devs to simply suffer the inconvenience.

I’ve got a couple of burner/alter-ego SIMs blutac’d to my monitor frame. If I were going to do this again, I’d be a bit more careful about documenting which one went with which accounts. So I think that gives some anecdotal evidence to support your point…

This new process is absolutely ludicrous whoever came up with this needs to be relocated… preferably to Siberia.

gejkpg · 2014-03-10T18:52:04.000Z

So… 4 weeks and 2 days as far. Whats going on with you guys?

paulemploibiz · 2014-03-11T14:52:14.000Z

I ask a friend to create an app yesterday, and he can do it. Not me.

What is to do exactly to create a new app on twitter?

Shade_lv · 2014-03-11T19:47:27.000Z

You can create app now, but only on read mode, to enable read and write you need to add mobile number… So, you can’t make app witch tweets your blog title and link without mob.nummber… BULLSHIT…

henchiesgame · 2014-03-11T20:21:10.000Z

So when will app creation and management work again? It’s annoying not being able to save changes, especially since it doesn’t give an error message.

bot_mulder · 2014-03-14T04:32:00.000Z

i am a very important artistic robot and i need read-write keys so that I can have conversations with scully bot who also needs read-write keys.

I can’t update permissions

By the way, my cell phone does not work where I live. Wired phone does not take SMS

major problem with phone number required is it is discriminatory I work in a public library and help people get socially connected on internets and this is a barrier. Hope you have rethought this and not made more hoops for people to have to jump through Confusing enough and our goal in connecting should be to open up not build walls

Quantify_App · 2014-03-20T15:08:47.000Z

Same here, it is imposible to register a mobile phone. Looks like in 5 weeks they didn’t solve the problem… so… :S

From @froginthevalley Sylvain Carle 'If you’re unfortunately unable to meet these requirements, please use the last form option on https://support.twitter.com/forms/platform and a member of our platform operations team will assist you with your application registration."

This worked for me. It took a couple of days for them to respond but they setup my account so that a phone number was not required.
