M. Haddad has also discussed a current problem. Users have current subscriptions to TweetBot and face repeat subscription charges at their app store. Migrating those users with time left on their subscriptions (and who want it) to Ivory, the in-development app from Tapbots for the FediVerse, requires an update to TweetBot. However, app stores will not accept an updated app when that app is rendered non-functional by Twitter.
Twitter has left 3rd-party vendors with no sunset period, or ability to deal with their customers gracefully, directly impacting not only their apps but their revenue. It is as yet unknown how amenable to 3rd-party Twitter app vendors the app store owners for iOS and Android will be.
