When you download an app, it should work as promised. Which is why human App Reviewers ensure that the apps on the App Store adhere to our strict app review standards. Our App Store Review Guidelines require apps to be safe, provide a good user experience, comply with our privacy rules, secure devices from malware and threats, and use approved business models.
Accessing the Twitter API and Twitter Ads API requires a set of authentication credentials, also known as keys and tokens, that you must pass with each request. These credentials can come in different forms depending on the type of authentication that is required by the specific endpoint that you are using.
API Key and Secret: Essentially the username and password for your App. You will use these to authenticate requests that require OAuth 1.0a User Context, or to generate other tokens such as user Access Tokens or App Access Token.
Access Token and Secret: In general, Access Tokens represent the user that you are making the request on behalf of. The ones that you can generate via the developer portal represent the user that owns the App. You will use these to authenticate requests that require OAuth 1.0a User Context. If you would like to make requests on behalf of another user, you will need to use the 3-legged OAuth flow for them to authorize you.
Client ID and Client Secret: These credentials are used to obtain a user Access Token with OAuth 2.0 authentication. Similar to OAuth 1.0a, the user Access Tokens are used to authenticate requests that provide private user account information or perform actions on behalf of another account but, with fine-grained scope for greater control over what access the client application has on the user.
In addition to generating the keys and tokens necessary to make Twitter API requests, you will also be able to set access permissions, document the use case or purpose for the App, define a callback URL, and modify other settings related to your App developer environment from within the management dashboard.
You can use Apps and Projects to help organize your work with the Twitter Developer Platform by use case. Each Project can contain a single App if you have Essential access, and up to three Apps if you have Elevated or greater access.
You can visit the dashboard to manage the Apps associated with your account. To learn more, please visit our documentation page on the developer portal. The dashboard allows developers to quickly and easily perform the following tasks:
If you have existing Twitter Apps, you can view and edit your Apps via the Twitter App dashboard if you are logged into your Twitter account on developer.twitter.com. Please note you will not need to sign up for an account to manage any and all Apps that were previously created on apps.twitter.com.
You can add an Automated Account label to your bot accounts to let users on Twitter know that your bot is an automated account. These bots perform programmed actions through the Twitter API. When you add an Automated Account label to your bot, you build trust with your audience, legitimize your account, and set yourself apart from spammy bots. This helps people on Twitter better understand your account's purpose when interacting with your bot.
Telegram apps are open source and support reproducible builds. Anyone can independently verify that Telegram apps you download from App Store or Google Play were built using the exact same code that we publish.
For the moment we are focusing on open sourcing the things that allow developers to quickly build something using our API. We have published the code for our Android, iOS, web and desktop apps (Win, macOS and Linux) as well as the Telegram Database Library.
This code allows security researchers to fully evaluate our end-to-end encryption implementation. It is also possible to independently verify that Telegram apps available on Google Play and App Store are built using the same code that we publish on GitHub.
Telegram welcomes developers and the security research community to audit its services, code and protocol seeking vulnerabilities or security-related issues. Learn more about our Bug Bounty Program here.
Not much! All you need to do is connect AppSheet to your favorite cloud data storage provider, such as Google Drive, Office 365, Dropbox, and Salesforce. Learn more about connecting an initial data source here.
AppSheet apps work great on both desktop and mobile devices, and are used for a variety of business use cases including project management, operations, field work, human resources, sales, and marketing.
AppSheet is a true no-code platform, which means anyone can build rich apps and automated processes without writing a line of code. The AppSheet Editor helps make creation easier by automatically generating app prototypes and providing smart suggestions for quick customizations. AppSheet also uses spreadsheet-like expressions to incorporate advanced logic to do things like filter data, create dynamic UI elements, and set up workflow automations.
Basic applications can be created and shared with small teams in any Workspace account. In order to scale and share apps with larger teams, licenses and an AppSheet subscription is required - AppSheet Core licenses are automatically included in some versions of Workspace Enterprise. Contact Workspace sales for more information.
A mobile application or app is a computer program or software application designed to run on a mobile device such as a phone, tablet, or watch. Mobile applications often stand in contrast to desktop applications which are designed to run on desktop computers, and web applications which run in mobile web browsers rather than directly on the mobile device.
Apps were originally intended for productivity assistance such as email, calendar, and contact databases, but the public demand for apps caused rapid expansion into other areas such as mobile games, factory automation, GPS and location-based services, order-tracking, and ticket purchases, so that there are now millions of apps available. Many apps require Internet access. Apps are generally downloaded from app stores, which are a type of digital distribution platforms.
Apps are broadly classified into three types: native apps, hybrid and web apps. Native applications are designed specifically for a mobile operating system, typically iOS or Android. Web apps are written in HTML5 or CSS and typically run through a browser. Hybrid apps are built using web technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5 and function like web apps disguised in a native container.[2]
Most mobile devices are sold with several apps bundled as pre-installed software, such as a web browser, email client, calendar, mapping program, and an app for buying music, other media, or more apps. Some pre-installed apps can be removed by an ordinary uninstall process, thus leaving more storage space for desired ones. Where the software does not allow this, some devices can be rooted to eliminate the undesired apps.
Apps that are not preinstalled are usually available through distribution platforms called app stores. These may operated by the owner of the device's mobile operating system, such as the App Store or Google Play Store; by the device manufacturers, such as the Galaxy Store and Huawei AppGallery; or by third parties, such as the Amazon Appstore and F-Droid.
Usually, they are downloaded from the platform to a target device, but sometimes they can be downloaded to laptops or desktop computers. Apps can also be installed manually, for example by running an Android application package on Android devices.
Some apps are freeware, while others have a price, which can be upfront or a subscription. Some apps also include microtransactions and/or advertising. In any case, the revenue is usually split between the application's creator and the app store.[3] The same app can, therefore, cost a different price depending on the mobile platform.
Mobile apps were originally offered for general productivity and information retrieval, including email, calendar, contacts, the stock market and weather information. However, public demand and the availability of developer tools drove rapid expansion into other categories, such as those handled by desktop application software packages. As with other software, the explosion in number and variety of apps made discovery a challenge, which in turn led to the creation of a wide range of review, recommendation, and curation sources, including blogs, magazines, and dedicated online app-discovery services. In 2014 government regulatory agencies began trying to regulate and curate apps, particularly medical apps.[4] Some companies offer apps as an alternative method to deliver content with certain advantages over an official website.
With a growing number of mobile applications available at app stores and the improved capabilities of smartphones, people are downloading more applications to their devices.[5] Usage of mobile apps has become increasingly prevalent across mobile phone users.[6] A May 2012 comScore study reported that during the previous quarter, more mobile subscribers used apps than browsed the web on their devices: 51.1% vs. 49.8% respectively.[7] Researchers found that usage of mobile apps strongly correlates with user context and depends on user's location and time of the day.[8] Mobile apps are playing an ever-increasing role within healthcare and when designed and integrated correctly can yield many benefits.[9][10]
All apps targeted toward a particular mobile platform are known as native apps. Therefore, an app intended for Apple device does not run in Android devices. As a result, most businesses develop apps for multiple platforms.
