A tweak to restore functionality to older Twitter versions for iOS/iPadOS 9+
This makes it possible to use Twitter again on devices where it was broken previously.
- Bypassing certificate pinning in the app to fix sign in
- Spoofing the app version to bypass update now messages
- Fix problems with images not being displaed correctly by replacing
pic.x.comwithpic.twitter.com - Patches out the now deprecated 1.1 endpoints to return the newer graphql ones.
It also includes several QoL improvements such as:
- Hides the (now useless) Fleets bar on versions that had it
- Removes all ads
- Enables Birdwatch (Community Notes) on supported versions
Every 7.x, 8.x, and 9.x version should work. it will not work on 6.x this tweak isn't neccesary for 9.40+
If you wanna test the newest nightly builds, you can by visiting the link below. keep in mind things can and will break. please report any issues you find.
rootful-build is for devices on iOS 14 and below
rootless-build is for devices on iOS 15 and above
- On some 8.x versions, attempting to log in will freeze the app and eventually cause an crash. A workaround is to log in using 7.29.1 first, then upgrade to your preferred version.
- The Search page and Quote tweets doesnt work
- You may not be able to like tweets or view peofiles on some versions because of deprecated endpoints. (this will be fixed soon)
- Banners disappear or dont show up at all
- latest (following) timeline doesnt work yet
Please let me know if theres any other issues! pleae open a bug report and i'll get to you as soon as i can
