@mjtsai It's up to Twitter to support third-party clients.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 22 Sep 2015

@grynspan And most people will have the official Twitter app installed, even if they don't prefer it, so they can verify their identity.
Bill Lloyd ‏@wklj 22 Sep 2015

@mjtsai @grynspan What role does the official Twitter app play in verifying a user’s identity? I’ve never heard of this.
Jonathan Davis ‏@jonathandavis 22 Sep 2015

@wklj @mjtsai Twitter is the authoritative owner of their links. If they want to allow third-party apps, it’s up to them. cc/@grynspan
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 22 Sep 2015

@jonathandavis Via multiple overlapping "details" dictionaries? Any way for the user to pick which app is used in that case?
Jonathan Davis ‏@jonathandavis 22 Sep 2015

@mjtsai Users can remove the app they don’t want to use.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 22 Sep 2015

@jonathandavis I want to use Tweetbot, but I can't remove the official Twitter app because I need it for 2FA.
Jonathan Grynspan ‏@grynspan 22 Sep 2015

@mjtsai @jonathandavis Twitter doesn't need 2 allow the 2FA path for 3rd-party clients. They could restrict that one to the official client.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 22 Sep 2015

@grynspan My point was that if you have to uninstall the official client to give another one priority, you can't then use the official one.
Jonathan Grynspan ‏@grynspan 22 Sep 2015

@mjtsai App ordering in the JSON file is respected when using arrays, so (if a site wants) they could prioritize third-party clients.

@grynspan Cool. Would be nice if that were documented.
