Tapbots, the maker of popular third-party Twitter application Tweebot, has brought back the application to the Mac App Store after pulling it over the weekend.
“We’ve worked with Twitter to resolve Tweetbot for Mac authentication issues,” Tapbots said in a tweet on Monday. “The app should be back on the Mac App Store soon.”
Tweetbot was pulled from the App Store after the application was no longer accepting new logins, a tell-tale sign that Tweetbot for Mac had reached its token limit. Users whose account were already authenticated could get past the re-authentication screen be deleting the “force_login=TRUE” text in the URL after entering their Twitter credentials.
Twitter has been taking a lot of heat since it began limiting the number of tokens issued to third-party clients in August 2012. Some fans interpreted the move as a sign that the micro-blogging startup wants to get rid of Twitter clients in favor of its own official web and mobile app.
