Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to use the new iOS 5 Twitter integration to build a complete iPhone app from scratch, using Twitter API as the core of the app and smart programming logic to enable the app behavor as needed, making our app socially aware by default!

Mobile app developers should keep the following two golden rules in mind while developing or starting their next big iPhone app:

  • Design is the key
  • Simplicity while choosing the application logic

In our case, had we chosen to build a TweetGovern website/backend/CMS first, API thereafter, and business logic for our app later on, we would have never completed the app in time. So, we chose the other way round, and used Twitter as our driving force for both, backend and social.
