Tweetbot re-auth bug
Bug Report: Tweetbot fails to sign in for retweet from other account after restore from iCloud
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Have Tweetbot set up for multiple Twitter accounts
2) backup to iCloud
3) reset device and restore from iCloud
4) open Tweetbot, when prompted re-authorize first account
5) in timeline of first account retweet something via the second account
6) Tweetbot wants to re-authorize the second account
7) enter your twitter credentials on the auth screen for the second account
Expected Result
- Tweetbot should assign the new oauth token to the second account
Actual Result:
- Tweetbot outputs an error that Twitter cannot be contacted
Additional Information:
Oauth tokens are not backed up or restored by iCloud.
Authorizing the second account via Settings app makes no difference.
You need to switch to the second account in Tweetbot and trigger a reathorization there. Then the retweet via other account starts to work again.
