We found the reason for the twitter outage. Unfortunately, twitter decided to change the widgets that we use in our apps without sending a notice of change to widget users.
This usually does not happen – companies like twitter usually “version” their widgets so that any changes only affect newer versions of the widget. Twitter does, indeed, version their widgets – but they’ve made a breaking change that requires us to change the way our apps work in order for the widgets to resume function.
Unfortunately, this change is beyond our control. We have already coded an updated version of our framework, and will be submitting these updates to Apple tonight. We hope that they will speed through the review process and be available to you sometime this coming week.
In the meantime, be sure to check back to the “Dev Blog” on the “More” tab in any of our apps or visit www.geekutils.com to stay up to date with this issue We will post again when the updated versions are available.
Thanks for your patience, and thank you to those of you who took the time to contact us to report this issue.
