How to integrate location information into Twitter app?

Question

I'm trying to get a Twitter iPhone app working using Matt Gemmell's MGTwitterEngine. I can post tweets OK, but I can't work out how to attach location data to those tweets... anyone have any idea?

Answer 1

I've never used MGTwitterEngine but from looking at the code, it should be as simple as calling sendUpdate:withLatitude:longitude:. What have you tried? What did and what did not work? Please be more specific.

Answer 2

There is no way to do post tweets with location information with MGTwitterEngine as of now. I am currently working on bringing the library up to date. You can check github.com/freeatnet/MGTwitterEngine/tree/v2-dev for updates. I'll be pushing a commit containing a method for geo-aware updates today.

UPD. See commit @ http://github.com/freeatnet/MGTwitterEngine/commit/512be99cca9f5787192633455300dcd788c7830c for location-aware updates.

Method signatures:

• (NSString *)sendUpdate:(NSString *)status;
• (NSString *)sendUpdate:(NSString *)status fromLocationLat:(float)locLat locationLong:(float)locLong;
• (NSString *)sendUpdate:(NSString *)status inReplyTo:(unsigned long long)updateID fromLocationLat:(float)locLat locationLong:(float)locLong;
