The error does not return when I used the TWTRComposer.
It seems only to when I was using the generated by Fabric authorization.

Thanks @67gmadb279, I’ve flagged this to the team as an error, but don’t currently have an ETA on the fix.

I also confirmed this problem with TwitterKit 3.0.3. Tried to re-generate customer key and secret, but no change.

Why are you using the statuses/update endpoint rather than TWTRComposer? The user should be able to approve and modify the Tweet that is being sent.

@andypiper

Thank you for replying, the answer is that TWTRComposer is not flexible for I am expecting.

Do you have any workaround (except for TWTRComposer) to avoid this issue?

@andypiper

Also Confirmed same issue by TWTRAPIClient.sendTweet method that introduced in TwitterKit 3

Here is the reproducible code:

// client is TWTRAPIClient
client.sendTweet(withText: "^") { (tweet, err) -> Void in
  if err != nil {
    print("Error: \(String(describing: err))")
  }
}

What is the issue with using the Tweet Composer? That is the intended way to implement Tweet sharing in Twitter Kit, so I’m confused what it is lacking for your use case.

@andypiper

TWTRComposer is also not working.

[andypiper]

Thank you for clarifying.

I’m also suffering from this issue. Is there any plan to fix this issue?

[takasek]

This issue still occurs with TwitterKit 3.1.1 .
I found out that “\r” as another pattern to reproduce the bug.

[cocoamixjp]

This is a very big issue.
Twitter-Kit should add the legal characters to be escaped.
Or Twitter-Kit can leave URL encoding to our developer side.

I hope this issue will be resolved as soon as possible.

Thanks.

I’m also facing same issue.
Is there progress on this issue?

[ihomway]

Facing the same issue, is there any way to fix this?

[katejaiheelee]

Twitter Developer Page hints that such Tweets are failing because parameter values should be converted to UTF-8 prior to sending the Tweet. Percent encoding will be a work-around till the new fix.

We are working on a fix for this since this is facing users (of the apps with Twitter Kit), and they shouldn’t worry about converting to percent encoding.
Thank you for your patience!

[buncho]

Amazing! Over 1 year struggling, Developers and Twitter Inc can finally share the issue!

I thought these characters are also valid UTF-8. However, I will try your suggested workaround.

Thanks!

@katejaiheelee
I tried the workaround
Org Text: test - ^
Converted Text with Percent-encoding: test - %5E

This is the code I exactly used:

client.sendTweet(withText: “test - %5E”) { (tweet, err) -> Void in
//
}

The result is here - Do I have something misunderstanding?

TwitterKIt Version is below:

• TwitterCore (3.0.2)
• TwitterKit (3.2.1)

Thanks.

I’m facing same issue. Any update here?

This bug was fixed !!
The latest frameworks worked.

Download from here,
Install Twitter Kit Manually

twitter/twitter-kit-ios

The usage was a bit different.
#import <TwitterKit / TwitterKit.h>
