Twitter introduced its Text Editor API for iOS developers.
Twitter recently announced its new “standalone, flexible” open-source API for iOS developers that provided a text editor for apps, which was the same used as the basis for tweet and Fleet composer on the Twitter app for iOS devices.
This, as the said announcement was made by Twitter through the official blog.
In a report on 9to5Mac, Twitter said that the company knew how complicated it can be to implement a simple text editor in iOS apps during the development process, as such, this was the reason why Twitter was currently making its own Text Editor API available to the public.
According to Twitter, the new Text Editor API solved common problems associated with text content filtering and syntax highlighting.

Twitter claimed that Apple offered multiple text editing APIs for its developers, but they can be very limited or too complicated to understand — which was something the new Twitter API aimed to solve.
9to5Mac also reported that iOS developers would find robust text-attribute update logic, safe event handling for text input, additional text editing events, and support for recent iOS versions with Twitter’s Text Editor API. It was implemented as a “Swift Package” which can be easily added to an Xcode project, besides working with CocoaPods.
