Just upgraded to Xcode 4.4 in Mountain Lion and faced with an issue. Built-in Twitter framework doesn’t work on IOS Simulator now. Looks like many developers who is upgraded to Xcode 4.4 have the same problem :

So the questions:
- Is it an issue of a simulator? Would that twitter-code work in real device?
- It’s known that from IOS 6 it will be another built-in framework to connect with social media. Can the app with IOS 5 twitter-code be rejected from appstore now?
According to the thread you linked to it’s a simulator-only problem. But you should always test your code on an actual iOS device before distributing to the store.
Actually the Twitter framework was available as a built-in framework from iOS 5 onwards. So your iOS 5 compatible implementation isn’t going to be rejected in iOS 6 (all things being equal). In fact, if you have a custom, non-‘Twitter framework’ integration this will still be acceptable – Apple aren’t forcing you to use the supplied Twitter framework exclusively.
