'Post to Twitter' broken w iOS 11

Hey everyone-

With iOS 11, Apple has removed the system-level logins for Twitter and Facebook. This means that any "Post to Twitter" behaviors will be completely broken with iOS 11. The logins may return with future betas but it's very doubtful.

@ForumNinja @adent42 is this something we can have a work around for? This feature really helps us get the word out for our games.

One example is to implement the native "Share Sheet" on iOS as a behavior in creator. This would allow a player to post with any installed app that supports extensions.

Thanks!

EDIT - Added a bug to the tracker.

    Yup, we're coming dangerously close to iOS 11 release!

    Oh no:/ I've checked it, it did not work with iOS 11 beta. I prefer to get rid of this feature, until it works again.

    20 seconds has this feature :/

    You can still post to twitter (and Facebook) using the Open URL behaviour - though it will require the user logs in manually. Presumably that's something the user is going to get used to, though, if Apple are removing system level login.

    Installed 11 today. My custom image still appears in this button & can't be changed by the user, but no custom words or score as stated. I probably will still use this to my advantage for a button with a image with more details how to download.
