They said that in the opening paragraph: "We are sorry to say that the app's sudden and undignified demise is due to an unannounced and undocumented policy change by an increasingly capricious Twitter". That sentence links to this post which explains in more detail what happened: https://blog.iconfactory.com/2023/01/state-of-the-twitterver...

that's too oblique, the term "policy change" could refer to a change in the price, for example, or a change in the privacy policy

Here's my two cents: it's oblique because they're talking to lawyers about suing Twitter and want to keep their options open.

Having followed these people for quite a number of years, it would surprise me if that’s the case. They seem to just want to move past this whole thing and not drag it out with a lawsuit, hence discontinuing the app.
