Twitter added a native app prompt on its sign in page

[Olivier Tilloy]

The Ubuntu WebView component comes preloaded with a user script that removes the app banner that twitter displays to advertise its native android application (see http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser-app/trunk/view/head:/src/Ubuntu/Web/twitter-no-omniprompt.js).

Twitter changed recently their login page layout, and they added an extra banner that advertises their native android application, so the user script should be updated to also remove that one. Here is what the HTML code looks like:

  <div class="signup-step">
    <div class="client-prompt">
      <form action="/settings/dismiss" method="post">
        <span class="m2-auth-token">
          <input name="authenticity_token" type="hidden" value="…">
        </span>
        <input type="hidden" name="d" value="1">
        <input type="hidden" name="return_url" value="/session/new">
        <table>
          <tbody>
            <tr>
              <td class="left">
                <strong>New !</strong>
                <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twitter.android">Download</a>
                the Twitter for Android app
              </td>
              <td class="close">
                <input type="submit" id="promo_close" title="Close" value="x">
              </td>
            </tr>
          </tbody>
        </table>
      </form>
    </div>
  </div>
