@pilky But you can display tweets via TWRequest. In fact, you can even access the streaming API using it :) -
@aral Who knows? Maybe Apple/MS/Google get special exemptions on account of being bigger and richer than Twitter?

@aral Don’t think they can. Twitter guy told me they get App ID, and use a private API to look up App details in App Store for attribution. -
