Required

Optional

• Profile page

• Optional: As the paging view moves, increase the opacity of the background screen. See the actual Twitter app for this effect

• Optional: Pulling down the profile page should blur and resize the header image.

• Optional: Account switching

• Long press on tab bar to bring up Account view with animation

• Tap account to switch to

Notes

• Had some trouble with the header cell, needed to lookup way to calculate cell height--AutoLayout didn't like to figure it out automatically like normal cells.
• This in turn caused a constraint warning to come up for 'UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Width' which I tried to fix by changing constraint priorities (per solutions on StackOverflow) but didn't seem to help. Luckily, this doesn't seem to cause any layout issues, however.
• Account switching does not save access tokens for multiple users so will have to login again while switching.
