Twitter has quietly updated its developer policies, banning developers from creating third-party Twitter apps. This development comes after apps like Tweetbot and Twitterrific experienced an outage.
Since last week, many third-party Twitter apps like Twitterrific, Tweetbot, and Fenix have been experiencing a service outage, making it impossible for people to use these apps. For many days, Twitter didn’t offer any comment regarding the issue, aside from an internal message obtained by The Information saying that the third-party app suspensions were intentional.
Now, it seems that the suspensions are official — Twitter has quietly updated its developer agreement page to say that developers are no longer allowed to make their own Twitter clients.
