It looks like Twitter registers the URI scheme of twitter://, but after playing around with it I can't get it to directly open a user's profile. I've tried:
twitter://username
twitter://user/username
twitter://profile/username
with no luck. I'll need it to work on Android as well.
Thoughts?
Step 1: Tap your profile picture in the top-left corner of the screen. Step 2: Tap “Settings and privacy.” Step 3: Tap “Accessibility.” Step 4: Scroll down and tap the toggle to the right of “Open links in Reader View” to turn this setting on.
When you click any Twitter link on an iPhone, you will get the option of opening it in the app. Once you click that option, it should work.
Go to Settings > Apps > Twitter > under Defaults go to Set as default and turn off Open supported links.
I found two URL schemes for twitter tweetie:// and twitter://:
tweetie:///user?screen_name=jessicaalba
twitter:///user?screen_name=jessicaalba
On this wiki site you can find a lot of other iphone url schemes (including twitter)
Doesn't seem to be official documented anywhere so I wouldn't count on all versions of the Twitter app supporting it but http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/92b958b7af002993?pli=1 gives a hint that might be worth a try:
I just found that "twitter:///user?screen_name=tvdw" works as well.
