Add Twitter Support To Your iPhone App In 5 Steps

Do you know how easy it is to give your users Twitter support in your app. This works like the email function in iOS apps – you will be able to present your user with a model view that is pre-populated with content that will become a tweet that will appear in your user’s timeline.

This is what you need to do to add Twitter support to your iOS app:

• Add Twitter framework
• Import Twitter.h
• Instantiate TWTweetComposeViewController
• Set initial text, images and URLs
• Present TWTweetComposeViewController in a model view controller

Here is an IBAction that I coded that implements this Twitter functionality.

-(IBAction)tweetTweet:(id)sender {
    NSLog(@"%i", [TWTweetComposeViewController canSendTweet]);
    TWTweetComposeViewController *tweeter = [[TWTweetComposeViewController alloc] init];
    [tweeter setInitialText:self.myTextField.text];
    [self presentModalViewController:tweeter animated:YES];
}

Cool huh? What do you think?
