Doug, I'm not sure if I understand your question. This issue was only affecting apps already using OAuth 1, with HMAC-SHA1 signing in particular. The fix should have resolved the issue for these apps without requiring the apps to be updated.

If you're seeing any unexpected errors, please open an API ticket with the details so we can look into it specifically:
