Answer 1

To fix this issue you should set locale to en_US.

Change the private extension asTwitterDate in Tweet.swift to the following to fix issue on non en_US devices.

...
private extension String {
  var asTwitterDate: NSDate? {
    get {
        let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
        dateFormatter.dateFormat = "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss Z yyyy"
        dateFormatter.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "en_US")
        let createdAt = dateFormatter.dateFromString(self)
        return createdAt
    }
  }
}

After this your application should load and show all data correctly.
