Answer 1

It's profile_image_url_https ;)

We can access profile image without using Twitter sdk .Using Social framework in iOS we can get using it.

I use ACAccounts instead of Twitter IOS SDK's like MGTwitterEngine etc....... The twitter account provided in the IPhone Settings will be used.

        if(!accountStore)
            accountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];
        ACAccountType *accountType = [accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter];

        [accountStore
         requestAccessToAccountsWithType:accountType
         options:NULL
         completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
             if (granted) {
                 //  Step 2:  Create a request
                 NSArray *accountsArray = [accountStore accountsWithAccountType:accountType];
                 self.twitterAccount = [accountsArray objectAtIndex:0];
                 // NSString *userID = [[twitterAccount valueForKey:@"properties"] valueForKey:@"user_id"];

                 NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/show.json"];
                 NSDictionary *params = @{@"screen_name" : twitterAccount.username
                                          };
                 SLRequest *request =
                 [SLRequest requestForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter
                                    requestMethod:SLRequestMethodGET
                                              URL:url
                                       parameters:params];

                 //  Attach an account to the request
                 [request setAccount:[accountsArray lastObject]];

                 //  Step 3:  Execute the request
                 [request performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *responseData,
                                                      NSHTTPURLResponse *urlResponse,
                                                      NSError *error) {
                     if (responseData) {

                         if (urlResponse.statusCode >= 200 && urlResponse.statusCode < 300) {
                             [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(twitterdetails:)
                                                    withObject:responseData waitUntilDone:YES];
                         }
                         else {

                             NSLog(@"The response status code is %d", urlResponse.statusCode);
                         }
                     }
                 }];
             }
             else
             {
                 dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                     [self dismissError:@"Please set up your twitter account in iphone settings"];

                 });
             }
         }];



-(void)twitterdetails:(NSData *)responseData {

    NSError* error = nil;
    NSDictionary* json = [NSJSONSerialization
                          JSONObjectWithData:responseData //1
                          options:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments
                          error:&error];

    NSString *name = [json objectForKey:@"name"];
    NSString *scrnm = [json objectForKey:@"screen_name"];
    NSString *twitterid = [json objectForKey:@"id"];
    NSString *prof_img = [json objectForKey:@"profile_image_url"];
    NSString *location = [json objectForKey:@"location"];
