Making Post Request to twitter with IOS - ios

Question

I am new to the concept of POSTing to twitter. I've looked here in order to understand how GET something from twitter. But I can't find any example about how to POST something to twitter.
how do I tell twitter that userXYZ is posting a tweet? How about the text body of the tweet itself.
Again, I'm very new to the concept.

You can easily find those in API Documentation. I think you are looking for this.
Also there are some question already asked in SO. You can also check this.

Using Twitter SDK import #import<Twitter/Twitter.h> in your .h or .m file
if ([TWTweetComposeViewController canSendTweet])
{
NSURL* aURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"your image Url"];
NSData* data = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:aURL];
UIImage *img1 = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
// Initialize Tweet Compose View Controller
TWTweetComposeViewController *vc = [[TWTweetComposeViewController alloc] init];
// Settin The Initial Text
[vc setInitialText:#"Setting The Initial Text"];
[vc addImage:img1];
// Adding a URL
strWEBTwitter = #"Pass Your URL here"
[vc addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:strWEBTwitter]];
// Setting a Completing Handler
[vc setCompletionHandler:^(TWTweetComposeViewControllerResult result)
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
NSLog(#"Result : %d", result);
if (result == TWTweetComposeViewControllerResultDone)
{
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Message" message:#"Thanks for sharing." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil]; [alertView show];
}
else if (result == TWTweetComposeViewControllerResultCancelled)
{
NSLog(#"Cancle")
}
}];
// Display Tweet Compose View Controller Modally
[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
} else
{
// Show Alert View When The Application Cannot Send Tweets
NSString *message = #"There are no Twitter accounts configured. You can add or create a Twitter account in Settings.";
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"No Twitter Accounts" message:message delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:#"Cancel",nil];
[alertView show];
}

Thanks Rashad. This is what I am using now. It works.
- (void)testPost {
ACAccountStore *accountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];
ACAccountType *accountType = [accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter];
[accountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:accountType options:nil completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error)
{
if (granted)
{
NSArray *accounts = [accountStore accountsWithAccountType:accountType];
if (accounts.count)
{
NSMutableDictionary *dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[dict setValue:#"check Check CHECK" forKey:#"status"];
NSString *retweetString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json"];
NSURL *retweetURL = [NSURL URLWithString:retweetString];
SLRequest *request = [SLRequest requestForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter requestMethod:SLRequestMethodPOST URL:retweetURL parameters:dict];
request.account = [accounts objectAtIndex:0];
[request performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *responseData1, NSHTTPURLResponse *urlResponse, NSError *error)
{
if (responseData1)
{
NSError *error1 = nil;
id response = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData1 options:NSJSONReadingMutableLeaves error:&error1];
NSLog(#"%#", response);
}
}];
}
}
}];
}
