TWTweetComposeViewController - animated GIF

Is it possible to upload an animated GIF with TWTweetComposeViewController?

I gave it a try with UIImage, and it only uploads the first frame. This makes sense, since UIImage doesn't support animated GIFs.

Is there a way to do this? Maybe a way to pass an NSData?

(My app is MonoTouch C#, but Objective-C answers work just as well)

Solution

  • You are correct - Twitter's official API documentation does not allow animated gif - only png, jpeg and one frame of gif is allowed

    Here is their api doc page

    I also tried the example for TWrequest post using multipart image data set to the raw Gif file and twitter sent back 400 / 403 error message
