For historical reasons, the .NET open-source developer SDK I created and maintain only had support for the X v1.1 endpoints when posting a status (Tweet? Xeet?).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A few from the community encountered issues when trying to use earlier versions of the SDK to post content using V2 methods.<\/p>\n
