Opening Twitter Settings from ACAccountStore (iOS 5.1 TWITTER) In iOS 5.0, it was possible to open the Twitter settings from an app by using the openURL method with a URL that pointed to the prefs:root=TWITTER setting. However, in iOS 5.1, this feature has been removed. As a result, developers who want to allow users to access their Twitter accounts are now forced to use alternative methods. One such method involves using the ACAccountStore class to request access to the user’s Twitter account and then presenting a composed view controller that allows the user to tweet.
