Do I need separate Twitter apps to integrate with iOS and Android + Web apps?

I am working on a project that has applications for iOS and Android, as well as a website; with all 3 channels featuring content via Twitter. Of course, separation should be done by integrating the Twitter application with these channels.

Now the standard was that for this purpose we would need separate applications; especially with changes in the choice of application type (browser and client) and callback URL.

This may be old news, but recently we noticed that the Twitter app settings no longer have browser / client settings and seem to offer a universal approach for all channels. I did R&D but couldn't get the same Twitter app with different channels.

I wonder if anyone has experience in such a scenario; those. Use one Twitter app for multiple channels and is it possible?

Thanks.

(PS> I tried this on the Twitter forums, but no luck :()

After some answers on Twitter forums, as well as some personal R&D work, I came to the conclusion that this is now possible. that is, the same Twitter application can be used on different channels. The browser / client differentiation is no longer applied in these applications, and it can be operated with the callback URL on different channels for its operation.

The only caveat is that for iOS apps, you need to configure the sending of the PIN authenticator, which will cause the Twitter app to work well.

We used the following library for this purpose, and it will work well with some setup> https://github.com/brione/Brion-Learns-OAuth
