in_reply_to_status_id field is not set

[cseieb]

While trying to reply a tweet with “– (NSString *)sendUpdate:(NSString *)status inReplyTo:(unsigned long)updateID” method, "in_reply_to_status_id" field in the response string is empty.

At first, I had to change the type of updateID from “unsigned long” to “unsigned long long”, otherwise some part of the updateID parameter was truncating(because of the 32 bit issue I guess, as I’m trying on IOS).

After that everything seemed working, I was using the method above for replying a tweet and my reply tweet is sent to twitter perfectly but the problem is my reply tweet does not appear to be a “reply tweet”; it just appears as a usual tweet.

When I check the response of my reply tweet above everything seems OK except that “in_reply_to_status_id” field seems empty which explains the situation(my reply tweet seems like a usual tweet) I tried to explain above.
