There isn't any API for iMessage as far as I know, collecting username and password was the only way to do it. It's a lot like many Twitter apps nowadays just ask for username and password since the Twitter API, which is needed for oauth/xauth, is pretty locked down and useless nowadays.
- joshstrange 13y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression Twitter only supported oauth nowadays with password auth being phased out a few years ago.
- Adirael 13y agoI guess that you can always make your own wrapper and act like you were a browser.
- abraham 13y agoThe Twitter API only supports OAuth now. There is an API method developers can use to jumpstart the OAuth flow with a password but this is restricted to apps that Twitter allows to use it.
- joshstrange 13y agoI was not aware of this, thank you for informing me. Do you know if this is like Facebook+Spotify (and only a couple other FB apps that can use password) or is it much wider-spread in the Twitter ecosystem?
- eknkc 13y agoTwitter REST Api and oauth login facilities seems to be feature complete and many 3rd party client apps use that. (Tweetbot, at the top of my head)
