I make apps.

[Matteo Villa @mttvll]

I guess this is goodbye.

[Fenix @fenix_app]

It's officially over.
No more Fenix on Android, iOS or macOS.

Fenix for iOS was suspended earlier today and I've removed it from sale.

I've had a great time working on these apps for the past 10 years and I'm very greatful for all your messages and support.

[Tanmay @tanmays]

2 great Mastodon apps to try. Both are very well built.

Mammoth by @JPEGuin https://t.co/hpFYaYLOba

Woolly by @mttvll https://t.co/G2daAq6XhL

The future of Mastodon is bright!

[Matteo Villa @mttvll]

@Rockdog97 You can ask Apple for a refund

[Fenix @fenix_app]

While today is a very sad day, I'm already hard at work building my next app and if you want to follow my progress you can reach me on Mastodon at https://t.co/P1rcuOPyaq

See you soon!

@gedeon @AppStore My app @fenix_app is still working on iOS 🤷‍♂️

[Tapbots @tapbots]

Tweetbot has been around for over 10 years, we've always complied with the Twitter API rules.

If there's some existing rule that we need to comply with, we'd be happy to do so, if possible. But we do need to know what it is...

@TwitterDev, you know how to reach us.

[Twitterrific @Twitterrific]

We still have not received any clear communication as to why @Twitter deactivated Twitterrific on Jan 13th.

We’ve updated our blog post to reflect this - https://t.co/MitHGHDi0h

[Matteo Villa @mttvll]

@gedeon Unbelievable

[Matteo Villa @mttvll]

5 days to come up with this.
What rules???

[Developers @XDevelopers]

Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may result in some apps not working.

[Matteo Villa @mttvll]

Three days in, still no news from the glorious Twitter management. Very cool indeed.
Fenix on iOS inexplicably still working 🤷‍♂️

Let's continue working on #woolly, there's still a ton to do.
Get it on TestFlight if you want to try a new Mastodon app.

[Twitterrific @Twitterrific]

It’s been 36 hours since Twitter disabled access for Twitterrific for iOS & other 3rd party apps.

There’s still no official word about what’s going on. We apologize for the ongoing interruption. 😓

This post from @daringfireball has the latest info https://t.co/PNaxlmMJaH

[Matteo Villa @mttvll]

And I'm honestly thinking of also pulling Fenix for iOS from the app store.
People are still downloading it, and who knows if or when it'll stop working.

[Matteo Villa @mttvll]

There you go. The total lack of communication is quite insulting for all the people who worked on these apps and use them every day.
I mean, the platform is yours and you can do whatever you want with it, but own your own decisions.

[Erin Woo @erinkwoo]

SCOOP: Twitter intentionally suspended Tweetbot and other third-party apps, per internal Slack messages viewed by The Information. https://t.co/IngyJnFGBZ

[Matteo Villa @mttvll]

@craigmod I'm also building something for Mastonod if you want to check it out.
Still quite early but functional

[Matteo Villa @mttvll]

In the meantime, if you are on iOS and Mastodon, you can try something new I've been working on these past few weeks.

https://t.co/7yiczuu430

[Matteo Villa @mttvll]

Woke up to radio silence from Twitter still.
More than 24 hours with no communication, at this point I have no faith in the situation changing soon.

[Matteo Villa @mttvll]

I want to thank you all for the kind messages, I'm really glad my little app was useful to so many people.
Let's hope this is not the end of it.

[Matteo Villa @mttvll]

Well, this was an interesting day.
Better get some sleep now, hoping to wake up to at least Fenix on iOS still standing and an inbox not too much full on angry people.

[Matteo Villa @mttvll]

Unfortunately still no news from Twitter.
Fenix on Android still suspended, on iOS still working fine.

[Matteo Villa @mttvll]

Fenix for Android suspended, no communication whatsoever from Twitter.
Probably an automated action, but I doubt very much I'll heard from them again and be able to resolve the issue.
