Push Notifications on Twitter for iPhone

Push Notifications on Twitter for iPhone

Push notifications for Twitter for iPhone will soon go underway. Twitter is reportedly testing push notifications internally while the option to enable push notifications is also available for users running iOS 4.1 GM on iPhone. According to Twitter:

We’ve been testing push notifications internally. When we launched Twitter for iPad, there was a configuration error that caused us to offer push messages to a small set of users. We’ve stopped sending push messages, but users may see an option to turn on push until we release an updated version of the app. So, push isn’t ready yet but we look forward to rolling this out soon.

It’s still not clear that push notifications will be for mentions and DMs or will there be options to choose from larger set of options.

Fix the App is Not Signed iPhone / iPad Error (Code: 0xE8008001)

Posted by | Hacks | 11 Comments

Getting an error saying that the app is not signed while syncing iPhone with your PC? I’ve been facing this error when I purchased some apps in iTunes and when I tried to transfer apps to the iPhone, it showed the error message like “Application was not installed on the iPhone because it is not signed. I tried almost everything from clearing the iTunes data to de-authorizing and then re-authorizing my PC. Nothing seemed to work though. I then noticed the recent changes that I made to the PC and figured it out.

The problem is most likely caused by the Firewall that you may have installed. In my case, it was ZoneAlarm that was not letting the app to sync with iPhone. I uninstalled the ZoneAlarm and it worked well. I was able to transfer all the apps without facing any error.

So, try tweaking or uninstalling your Firewall if you get to see “app is not signed” error.
