Can confirm I'm also facing this bug on the latest version (v3.6.0+300012773) on a Samsung Galaxy S21 on Android 13.

Edit: randomly fixed for me. This error may be because of some kind of rate limit per device per some certain period amount of time. I'm not too sure, though.

Ditto here

The Twitter/X guest account creation is limited to one per day per IP address (location).
The new version v3.6.1 will not try to create a Twitter/X guest account more often than one per day, so this type of error should happen less frequently.
Over time, a pool of Twitter/X guest accounts should be large enough to make the new very rate limited enhanced requests without any problem.

Hello
Unfortunately I have same Issue with squawker_3.6.2_300012833_org.ca.squawker.apk

[Spring2022abcjk]

This problem also occurred to me.

Program version used: 3.6.1

Android system used:12

Just wanted to say this is happening to me as well.

I am getting a similar problem when using search, going on trending, attempting to import subscriptions but my code is different so please advise if I should create a separate issue for:

Unable to create the guest account. The response (400) from Twitter was: {"errors": [{"code":366,"message":"Required input 'Signup' not provided."}]}

[j-fbriere]

Thank you for reporting.
This type of error is a first in Squawker for creating guest accounts.
It seems that Nitter have the same problem when creating guest accounts starting today.
I will do some tests.

[j-fbriere]

I am not able to create a guest account right now.
I'll be on the lookout for information to know if it's permanent, if it's a glitch that resolved itself (hopefully) or if there is a workaround.

[TheHCJ]

Looks like we should just use regular accounts, #769

[samolukadjo]

Oh https://t.me/InternationalInsider/1829
Yeah no more guest accounts.

[j-fbriere]

The version v3.7.0 allows you to use a regular Twitter/X account.
To add the information (username/password) of your regular Twitter/X account, go to Settings / Account and tap on the plus icon.
Since each account is rate limited (same with the guest accounts), you can add as many as you want.
This wiki page explains how to create a Twitter/X account that is privacy oriented.
