Twitter for Mac has been delisted from Apple's App Store,sex xem ???c signifying the ultimate demise of the company's oft-abandoned desktop app.
Here's a short history of Twitter's desktop app for Mac. The app was never really all that great, and the company, which was still called Twitter back then, ended support for it in 2018. But the app was resurrected the next year, which had more to do with Apple's Project Catalyst tech (allowing developers to easily port iPad apps to Mac) than the app itself.
Since then, the company did a whole lot of nothing with the app, so it's no surprise that it's now been removed from Apple's App Store (as noticed by developer Vedant, via The Verge).

Twitter (now X) has since focused on the mobile and web versions of its app, so the desktop variant for Mac probably won't be missed by many (it does still work, albeit buggily, if you already have it installed).
