Retweet Action Fails with Error 400 due to Invalid or Missing Tweet Reference

When trying to complete a Twitter Reward task in ArcBlock (via ArcSphere app), the retweet function fails with the following error message:
Request failed with code 400 - Invalid Request: One or more parameters to your request was invalid. (see https://api.twitter.com/2/problems/invalid-request))
After encountering this error, I checked the original Twitter/X post linked to the campaign, but it turned out that no post actually exists. This strongly suggests that the application is either:
Referencing a tweet that has already been deleted or expired,
Sending an incorrect/invalid tweet ID to Twitter’s API, or
Not properly validating the tweet’s availability before triggering the retweet action.
This issue creates a confusing user experience. The app shows a Retweet button and encourages users to perform the action, but the action always fails because the underlying content is missing or invalid. From the user’s perspective, it looks like a broken feature rather than a content issue.
The impact is significant for engagement campaigns since users cannot participate in tasks that rely on retweeting. It also discourages users because the system provides no clear explanation about why the action failed—just a technical error message from Twitter’s API.
Ideally, the system should handle this case more gracefully by:
Validating the tweet ID before displaying the Retweet option.
Hiding or disabling the action if the tweet is deleted/unavailable.
Displaying a user-friendly message such as “This campaign post is no longer available” instead of exposing raw API errors.

你好,活动进行中,可能会随着活动进行,有部分的 tweet 可能会被更新或者删除,大家可以继续参与其他 tweet 即可。
