@mjtsai If your site wants to allow third-party apps to represent it, not just your app, you can do so. :)
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 22 Sep 2015

@grynspan Yes, but not sure how that helps users of third-party Twitter clients.

@mjtsai It's up to Twitter to support third-party clients.
Jonathan Grynspan ‏@grynspan 22 Sep 2015 Cupertino, CA

@mjtsai Consider: I make an app that has nothing to do with Twitter, then claim to open http://twitter.com URLs. Bad user experience!
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 22 Sep 2015

@grynspan I thought the com.apple.developer.associated-domains entitlement is to protect from that.
Jonathan Grynspan ‏@grynspan 22 Sep 2015 Cupertino, CA

@mjtsai That tells iOS that the app knows about a domain/feature. The domain then recognizes the app via its JSON file. Both must consent.

@grynspan Why wouldn't the problem be solved by App Review requiring apps to actually be Twitter clients if they support that domain?
