    For people coming here from the Blackberry World: we can't update apps anymore through it. The only way to get the newest version is through the links on this post

    Update 2.12.0.0:

    • All images are now loaded through https (fixes pictures sometimes not loading when using mobile data)
    • RAM picture caching has been ported to the https stack, now works again for all images


    USAGE HINTS:
    • For now, the background service doesn't automatically start when you log in. You can do so via the 'Start service' button on the upper application menu. Doing so will restart it if it's already running. If you log out it will stop by itself.
    • Prepend a '@' before the nick to search for users. Note that shadow banned users won't appear in the list, but you can still open their profile manually
    • Twitter links can be opened (if the kind of url is supported: profile, tweet or list) by pasting them into the search bar
    • If the login fails, the app will create a file named bird10log.txt in your documents folder, with the details of the error returned by Twitter
    • If you want to send tweets via 'Bird10 for BlackBerry' instead of 'Twitter for Android', scroll down from the top of the screen to reveal the app menu and tap 'Legacy login'


    Download link: https://mega.nz/file/AJs2TCiS#CGNr-I...31iDevYxZFGIR0

    NOTE: You'll need to sideload the app to install it, see here for a guide
    NOTE (2): If the app warns that your OpenSSL version is too outdated you need to update the OS to the latest version, 10.3.3, otherwise the app won't work

    If you appreciate the app and want to support the development here's a paypal link

    The source code is here: https://github.com/SimoDax/Bird10




    Update 2.11.0.0:

    • Added verified badges
    • Fixed profile pictures sometimes not loading
    • Fixed image attachments not loading in dms

    Download link: https://mega.nz/file/MAskyZbA#2uMYBH...U657M007lghg40




    Update 2.10.0.0:

    • Updated emoji font, more emojis are now supported
    • Added much more emojis in the picker, two new categories were also added
    • Fixed lag in notification page
    • Fixed key shortcuts in the main timeline
    • Tweets can be sent without text if any media is attached
    • Tweet urls can be opened (if the kind of url is supported: profile, tweet or list) also by pasting them into the search bar
    • Added a black background to the video player
    • Mentions and twitter urls are now correctly opened when tapped in DM chats
    • Increased emoji size in the picker for Passport devices (I hope not too much!)
    • Many other minor fixes

    Download link: https://mega.nz/file/dJEFACgJ#2eL-pP...cQM_zlKlEnyIjc




    Update 2.9.1.0:

    • Added a 'DM User' action on the profile pages
    • Added threads support in the home timeline
    • Fixed issues with long links that made system html parser go awry for some reason
    • Fixed polls not showing up in home tl
    • Fixed trends (again, twitter changed some stuff)
    • Ui tweaks and fixes

    Download link: https://mega.nz/file/5AdBgQqJ#NrQxdL...1qM9CPOGcfsi-4




    Update 2.8.0.0:
    I'll call this one a special Holiday gift release

    • The app can now be chosen as a target to share text / pictures / videos
    • Since many emojis were showing up as empty boxes (the system font is rather old) i thought it was time to do something about it. The app now uses a custom font for emojis, making them have the same appearance as the emojis displayed by Twitter.com. Of course, all emojis supported by Twitter.com are also supported by the app now
    • Added support for Fleets. The fleet bar appears in the main tl page just below the top 'Home' bar when there are new unread Fleets, otherwise it stays hidden. However, you can manually show/hide it via the new right menu action
    • Moved lists to v2 api, you shouldn't see any difference except for polls
    • Fixed: The profile picture of users having the default image now properly loads
    • Ui tweaks and fixes

    Download link: https://mega.nz/file/lU8kBARI#ZIGwu6...5pPC-BDGBeyt4Q




    Update 2.7.0.0:

    • The app can now be chosen as a target to open twitter.com urls. If they still open in the browser, you may need to long press the link and tap Open in.. to make Bird10 the default app
    • Moved home timeline and favorite tweets to v2 api, you shouldn't see any difference except for polls
    • Support for polls (for now you are able to see them everywhere but in the user profile, since that page still uses the old 1.1 api)
    • Added the emoji picker to dms
    • Moved settings to a dedicated page, accessible through the upper application menu
    • Added 'Show tabs on action bar' setting, it defaults to true and brings back the bottom tabs that characterized the official app
    • Fixed: Infinite loading of the oldest replies when scrolling to the bottom of a conversation
    • Fixed: Sending a tweet updates the tweet list only if it is the main timeline
    • Fixed: Tapping the main tweet in a conversation doesn't open another identical page (at last!)
    • Fixed: DM pictures are now centered when opened in full view
    • Searching a query starting with '@' is now allowed (Previously, pressing enter would just update the profile list)
    • Ui tweaks and fixes

    Download link: https://mega.nz/file/4dEzkSzZ#f9MJYP...G2ourL0OiEnnmU




    Update 2.6.0.0:

    • You can now attach a video when you send a Tweet
    • The timeline now automatically retrieves new tweets and adds them on top of the list
    • It also updates how long it's been since tweets got published, as time increases
    • Added 'Share tweet via DM' and 'DM user' context actions on tweets. The latter is enabled only if the user is following you
    • Added 'Delete Tweet' context action
    • Added preview cards when you open a Tweet in its conversation page (if 'card' doesn't sound familiar to you, here's an example of a tweet with a link preview card)
    • More replies will now load when you open a Tweet in its conversation page and scroll to the bottom
    • The background service is now much more stable and shouldn't silently quit sending notifications
    • Added a splash screen (finally!)
    • Fixed a time zone parsing bug
    • The search page correctly displays again 10 trends (lately, a server-side change made the app show only the first 5)
    • Ui tweaks and fixes

    Download link: https://mega.nz/file/5UsSzYpL#vFpF8r..._EMynbjgBvby6s




    Update 2.5.0.0:

    • Added background service for notifications (you can start/stop it via the upper application menu )
    • Added a Lists tab to check your lists
    • The search page suggests topics and hashtags as you type
    • The Tweet page now also suggests hashtags when you start typing them
    • Added legacy login to send tweets via 'Bird10 for BlackBerry' (you can enable/disable it via the 'legacy login' button on the upper application menu)
    • Small ui tweaks and fixes





    Update 2.4.0.0:

    • Added DM tab
    • Added support for 2FA / login security checks
    • Tweet page now suggests users while mentioning with @
    • Added tweet creation time
    • Discover page has a new "Recent" tab
    • Seach page loads user suggestions in real time
    • Background sync for notifications / DM can be toggled off from the app menu (useful if you're low on battery and want to leave the app open without it using the newtork). This setting is ignored for DMs while you have a conversation open and the screen turned on
    • Image cache moved to Ram instead of device storage. The app will use no more than 50 MB anyway, I think it's a good compromise between some extra speed and memory load.
    • Paypal link changed from a generic payment to a Money Box to avoid fees





    Update 2.3.0.0:

    • Added a general Twitter search, prepend @ to search for users like in previous versions
    • Added trends in search page, tapping opens them. They're shown in the location specified in your account settings
    • The search results page lets you filter by photos or videos, scroll down from the top of the tweet list reveal such options
    • Tapping on an hashtag makes a search for it
    • The notifications are now localized in your device language
    • Reduced connection latency, opening a conversation/profile/search should feel quicker
    • Removed generic error messages, now they really mean what they say
    • Fixed images occasionally displaying the wrong preview
    • Some more bug fixing

    Download link: https://mega.nz/file/gJ1Ryb5B#t9ANm4...eFudoYDEsy2Nr4




    Update 2.2.1.0:

    • Added a proper profile page, tapping on a mention opens the respective profile
    • You can see quoted tweets instead of their link
    • Added indication of who retweeted a tweet
    • You can now zoom on images when you open them
    • Gifs load more reliably
    • Tweaked some visuals
    • Tabs now stay open instead of resetting when you change to another
    • Support for http compression, less data usage
    • Bug fixing, such as: very long links not tappable, error when searching a profile with special characters, timeline overwrite when tweeting, useless reloads of profile icons





    Update 2.1.0.0:

    • You can quote tweets
    • You can search for users and open their timelines (or do so by tapping on their profile picture)
    • Added notifications tab. It automatically refreshes in the background every 60s, you'll get the red asterisk symbol on the menu button when there are unread entries.
      They're synced with your account, so reading the notification in the app will mark it as read also on the website and any other twitter app, and vice versa.
    • Bug fixing

    Download link: https://mega.nz/#!lYk3nIID!42IbsXeEe...Sr_LR_J9UFAwMQ

    • The app now loads more tweets when you reach the bottom of the timeline
    • Added support for playing videos in tweets
    • Added retweets and likes count
    • Improved app version check

    Hello there!
    I'm making a native App for twitter as there doesn't seem to be any working anymore.
    You can check your timeline, retweet and like. It shows tweets with more than 140 characters instead of cutting them with suspension dots, and it can show / save / share all the images attached to a tweet, not just the first one.
    You can't reply yet, but for now it allows you to open tweets in the browser in order to do it. I know the functionality is limited in its current state, but I wanted to make it available as soon as possible.

    Update: Tweeting is now supported, and you can attach images as well!


    I hope you enjoy it!

    I know there is a lot of interest in a good Twitter App... once you get the bugs worked out.

    If it gets shut down (I really hope it doesn't though) I'll make it available as a .bar to sideload and announce new builds here on the forums

    As for the bugs, it's feature limited, but I'm confident to say it has no issues on the functionality it offers up to now

    Thanks for supporting BB10 users! Installed the app and I will subscribe for updates, for sure.

    Hey Simo,

    First, you're AWESOME for developing this new native app to fill a void for BB10 users!

    Second, the current word is that Blackberry World will remain open but in "static" mode (so no updates, etc.) after 12/31/2019. I'm totally down with you continuing to use BBW and with any luck they will still take updates, but if you are willing to make it available as a .BAR (so among other reasons we can add it to the Developer-Released .BAR thread here on CB, so everyone can get it regardless of BBW status--or whether they think to search on BBW), that would be excellent. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to discuss that further.

    But either way, THANKS for supporting BB10 as a new native app developer! I also see you ask for donations on the Bird10 page in BBW...care to share a Paypal or other link here?

    I know I come a bit late but thank you!

    Starting with the latest release 1.3.0.1 I embedded a version check on startup, so that if you fall behind it prompts you to look on BBW or Creckberry forums for an updated version. The info about the latest version is hosted on a personal netlify site, so even if BBW becomes static I can trigger the popup whenever I attach a .bar here.
    I have yet to include a link to the thread in the app as I don't know if I should create a new one for the releases or just use this one


    THANKS for supporting BB10 as a new native app developer!
    Haha, actually I made another app before this but since it's for italian trains you can't see it outside Italy

    care to share a Paypal or other link here?
    I've added it to the first post, thanks for the suggestion

    Blackberry World has become unaccessible for developers since December 1st. The only way to update apps now is to sideload them, check the first post for the download link

    EDIT: I've checked and can confirm that PayPal donation page doesn't load anymore on the stock browser. You'll need to do so from desktop, sorry. I'll change the link to a paypal.me generic donation in the next release

    Would it be possible to help me sideload your update using Windows? I find the above guide with Chrome confusing, so basically what I would like to do is download the link and then connect my phone to my PC and somehow transfer it. Could you please help me do that? Many thanks in advance!

    This will be the future for everything BB10 pretty much. Autoloaders and workarounds and sideloading so you must understand why its recommended to move away from unsupported OS

    For the first, yes. For the second, I don't know: Twitter public APIs have been severely limited last year (that's the reason why the official app stopped delivering notifications, or not showing replies to tweets older than 7 days, or not sending/receiving DMs..). To get a realtime feed you need to go for premium/enterprise APIs, which cost way too much.
    For example, I haven't made a Tweet page to see the replies yet because of these limitations and wanted to look for another way, which is to spoof the requests and use the private endpoints used by the iOS/Android apps (don't ask how, it's probably illegal). I'll try, but no promises on this

    If you guys want to know more about the 'behind the scenes' of the app and what you can or cannot do with the free APis just ask, I'll explain
