How to create a simple table view that populates with Twitter feeds?

I want to be able to sign in to Twitter through the iOS simulator then within the app itself have it open up and populate the table rows with my posts. Then I need to be able to click on the row and open the individual post in a new view controller. Any advice or guidance is helpful.

Doubt that you test that on a simulator, you might need an actual device to do so. Reason being, the server needs to authenticate the user, and it's not possible in simulator. (not too sure you can test it out, but doubt it)

In regards on how to do so? Check out Twitter API (Application Programming Interface). With the API, you can make a request to obtain the data that you need and populate them onto your tableview.

Good luck! =]
