Card not showing when tweeting from iOS app includes image

My app (Xcode 6, iOS 7 up) uses the in built share sheet to tweet some basic text, an image (screen shot), and a link to a website that has a twitter app card.

When tweeting from the app with an image included I notice the twitter card does NOT appear. When I tweet from the app without an image it works as expected.

Is there a way to include an image and have the twitter card work? I need the twitter card to be the 'app card' type.

I can't find any documentation on this and hoping one of you may have experienced the same issue.

Cheers

Got an answer to this question via the Twitter developer forums. Unfortunately at this stage it turns out it's not possible.

Twitter staff reply: "No, you cannot include both an image and a card in a single tweet for display. As you've found, including the image will cause the card not to be used."
