Twitter API 1.1 on Older Mac Systems

I'm maintaining an app that is required to support Macs running 10.5 and above. With Twitter's switch to version 1.1 of their API I've been unable to locate a solid library that supports these older systems.

I've tried STTwitter, oauthconsumer, and gtm-oauth to no avail.

My only requirement is that I be able to GET three tweets from a user's public timeline. I was previously using this end point : 

NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?exclude_replies=true&count=10&screen_name=%@", [_prefs objectForKey:@"twitterHandle"]];

Is it time to kick my 10.5.x users to the curb?

OS X 10.5 comes installed with Ruby. You can call the ruby gem "twurl" (using a command line call and parsing the results).

Plenty of example are available here: https://github.com/marcel/twurl

I used something like this for a Python project before the popular Python libraries had been updated to support API v1.1.

Good luck!
