In conjunction with these 2 apps, you can "upgrade" all of your HTTP connections to TLS 1.2. More details can be found on this #webOS Nation forum thread - forums.webosnation.com/webos…

Hey, fellow #webOS hangers-on and true-believers! Macaw 2018 is back and working again, with a little help from its friends, Squid SSL Bump and Proxy Switch.

Okay, okay - enough of that, already... #webOS

Project Macaw and Macaw 2018 were the last functioning Twitter clients on #webOS. Maybe it's time to check out how the folks @webosports are doing with LuneOS...

Another sad milestone in the passing of #webOS phones & tablets & Twitter. In its day #webOS and Twitter were a perfect match, & developers created what seemed like dozens of very advanced and visually stunning Twitter clients. Bad Kitty, Carbon, Sparrow, phnx, to name a few.

TLS is a system library in #webOS and while there has been talk of attempts to create a more modern version of it, no progress has been made on this very difficult problem. In my estimation this means the end of Twitter apps on #webOS phones and tablets, including Macaw2018.

As of a few days ago, it was Twitter's turn - all API connections to Twitter require a TLS 1.2 connection, which #webOS on our phones and TouchPads simply cannot support. twittercommunity.com/t/remov…

As you may or may not know, our beloved #webOS phones and the HP TouchPad are limited to TLS connections using only up to verision 1.1. For a couple of years now, all major cloud services have been slowly phasing out connections to their APIs using anything less than TLS 1.2.

#webOS friends, it looks like the Twitter API has finally broken to the point where Macaw2018 will no longer function - at all...

I just noticed Macaw2018 is unable to login to new accounts and timeline refresh is broken. It was working yesterday. I don't know if it's temporary or something more permanent.

It looks like user muting is broken in @Macaw2018. I'll be working on figuring out why and publishing a new release with a fix.

Also, is it just me or does any else have the problem in @macaw2018 or @ProjectMacaw where if you watch a video from your Twitter feed, after you toss the card for the built-in #webOS video player, #webOS crashes? Happens pretty frequently on my TP. Maybe not on phones?

Huh. I was getting a new 404 error message from Twitter on DM panel, but after I sent a new message, it went away.

Oh, Twitter. What have you done now?
