Note that you should login your iOS device for this functionality:

- (void)signIniwthTwitter
{
   if ([TWTweetComposeViewController canSendTweet])
    {


            // Set up the built-in twitter composition view controller.
        TWTweetComposeViewController *tweetViewController = [[TWTweetComposeViewController alloc] init];


            // Create the completion handler block.
        [tweetViewController setCompletionHandler:^(TWTweetComposeViewControllerResult result) {
            [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

        }];

            // Present the tweet composition view controller modally.
        [self presentModalViewController:tweetViewController animated:YES];

    }
    else
    {
                [self getTwitterAccountDetails];
    }



}


- (void) getTwitterAccountDetails
{

    [DejalBezelActivityView activityViewForView:self.navigationController.navigationBar.superview];

    self.view.userInteractionEnabled  = NO;
    self.connectionstatusLabel.text = @"Getting user details....";
        // Create an account store object.
    ACAccountStore *accountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];

        // Create an account type that ensures Twitter accounts are retrieved.
    ACAccountType *accountType = [accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter];

        // Request access from the user to use their Twitter accounts.
    [accountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:accountType withCompletionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
    #pragma unused (error)
        if(granted) {
                // Get the list of Twitter accounts.
            NSArray *accountsArray = [accountStore accountsWithAccountType:accountType];

                // For the sake of brevity, we'll assume there is only one Twitter account present.
                // You would ideally ask the user which account they want to tweet from, if there is more than one Twitter account present.
            if ([accountsArray count] > 0) {
                    // Grab the initial Twitter account to tweet from.
                ACAccount *twitterAccount = [accountsArray objectAtIndex:0];
                NSLog(@"Account details %@",twitterAccount);
                _userid = [[twitterAccount valueForKey:@"properties"] valueForKey:@"user_id"];
                _screenName = [twitterAccount valueForKey:@"username"];
                NSLog(@"user id %@",_userid);
                [self getProfileDetailsFromTwitter];

            }
        }
    }];
