You can create a twitter.properties file in the app folder containing the text below. The values don't really matter as they are only required for Twitter sign in verification. The README.md file will be updated.

twitterConsumerKey=xxx
twitterConsumerSecret=xxx

The README.md still hasn't been update for this. Is this going to be done soon or should I try to do it?

Or should there be changes to the code to allow for building without this file?
