@brion I hear that you are already aware of this, just added it to the bug tracker for completeness.

The message I am getting, and conveyed to @brion, was a bit different: "API OAuthException - Invalid consumer" (server side). Using 'http' instead of'https' does not work at all for me. I've taken the opportunity to move to meteoric, which is a dedicated status.net client for the iphone.

Without Twitter fixing the app to support auth against non-Twitter servers again, there's not much we can do here... Use other clients or the web interface; our own dedicated client is still in the works.
