Answer 1

You certainly can't get user email from Twitter.

Answer 2

You can get Email from Twitter now.

1. First you need to get permission to access user-email from Twitter. In order to do that fill out this form. Ask for special permission and permission required is 'Email'. Once Twitter grants permission(They will send an email regarding this), goto next step.

2. Please follow this link from Fabric: Fabric

// Objective-C

if ([[Twitter sharedInstance] session]) {
    TWTRShareEmailViewController* shareEmailViewController = [[TWTRShareEmailViewController alloc] initWithCompletion:^(NSString* email, NSError* error) {
        NSLog(@"Email %@, Error: %@", email, error);
    }];
    [self presentViewController:shareEmailViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
} else {
  // TODO: Handle user not signed in (e.g. attempt to log in or show an alert)
}

// Swift

if Twitter.sharedInstance().session {
  let shareEmailViewController = TWTRShareEmailViewController() { email, error in
    println("Email \(email), Error: \(error)")
  }
  self.presentViewController(shareEmailViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else {
  // TODO: Handle user not signed in (e.g. attempt to log in or show an alert)
}

Answer 3

It is now possible using Fabric SDK and these steps
