Are you sure? That would require a centralized review and distribution process for all 3rd party clients, like the App Store for Twitter. It's not outside the realm of possibility, but there's very little incentive for them.
- kadoban 4y agoIt barely needs to be more than a line in the ToS for the API. I'm sure Twitter already had a list of terms, and a way to ban people who misbehave. This is one more way to misbehave and get banned. Going right to an App Store would be insanity.
- saryant 4y agoShowing ads isn’t enough. You need to count as impressions to bill advertisers and convince them to trust the impression data coming from third party clients.
- manmal 4y agoThey could just tell Apple & Google that your app doesn’t conform to their TOS, and poof, it’s gone. Especially PlayStore is really careful around 3rd party content.
