Social media is simply a moving target

Social media is simply a moving target for developers wanting to write cross-platform apps.  Twitter integration "almost" works now in our app, but I have run into several article that point out that the cose I'm writing should work for Android devices (and Kindle) but not iOS.  Why is that you ask?  Because Apple likes twitter so much that they integrated twitter right into iOS.  This greatly simplifies accessing twitter from within a native iOS app but does nothing but complicate the issue for cross-platform frameworks.

Corona SDK will address this in a future release but for now we're stuck with checking the target OS and writing the appropriate code.

As for "Flights of Fancy"; we will be forced to develop only for Android/Kindle for the moment.
