Twitter 3.1 continuously wants to update my Mac and iPad even though it has been updated numerous times and even after the apps have been taken off both units. Happens every time I go into the app store and has been doing it since the 3.1 release in 2010. It's like I am continu ally being harassed by Twitter or the app store. Twitter su port won't help me.

This did not work. There is no Con tainers folder in then Library. I searched for com.apple.appstore and all that came up was an empty folder.
I have deleted the Twitter app on my mac and iPad numerous times and I still get the request to update Twitter 3.1. If I actually go ahead and update it installs it but the next day or a few days later I again get a request to update Twitter to 3.1. I delete Twitter on both Mac and iPad and the request still comes back.
