Twitter App Review

Unlike other Social Providers, Twitter does not require you to go through an App Review process for additional permissions/scopes. Instead they require you to explicitly configure your Twitter App in order to be able to gain access to the desired permissions/scopes.

Another notable difference with Twitter is that by default, Twitter does not give you access to the customer's email upon a successful social login. You can follow the steps below to gain access to the customer's email.
