Overview

Light-weight share/upload video to Twitter for iOS

• Support chunk upload for > 5MB video file
• Built-in support for user's credential retrieval
• Support tweet text along with video
• Use Objective-C (Swift is TBD)
• Use SLRequest from Apple's Social framework to keep things light. No need to add extra frameworks such as TwitterKit and Fabric.
• Use new Twitter Uploading Media REST API, which was released in May 2015 https://blog.twitter.com/2015/rest-api-now-supports-native-video-upload.
• Twitter Uploading Media REST API document: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/uploading-media.

Usage

• Copy 2 files TwitterVideoUpload.h and .m to your project.
• Add 2 lines below to your view controller:

[[TwitterVideoUpload instance] setVideo:filename];
[[TwitterVideoUpload instance] upload:^(NSString* errorString) { ... }];

• If success, completionHandler's errStr will be nil. If failed, errStr will contain REST response string.
• To add tweet text along with video:

[TwitterVideoUpload instance].statusContent = @"...";

Optional usage

• By default (account property is nil), upload: will try to get account before uploading. Optional: if you want to obtain account (ACAccount obj) manually, you can set yours as below:

[TwitterVideoUpload instance].account = aACAccountObj;

Notes

• Twitter username + password must be provided to iOS Settings app
• Twitter video requirement: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/uploading-media#videorecs.
• FINALIZE command verifies video file per Twitter video requirement before completing the upload.
• If you get "HTTP status 400 bad request" with response data having "Invalid or unsupported media, Reason: UnsupportedMedia." error after sending FINALIZE command, you need to verify your video file with Twitter video requirement.
