How to upload multiple images to twitter in single tweet in Swift?

Question

I am trying to upload(share) multiple images to twitter, but not able to upload all images into single tweet. Couldn't find proper documentation related to this. Is it possible or not?

I am using this link to upload Media: Compose Tweets

I have implement this using TwitterKit.Call this function requestImageToTwitterAccount onclick of button Share Multiple Image After Selecting image from Imagepickerview.

  func requestImageToTwitterAccount(image:UIImage,fileSize:UInt32){

            let accountStore = ACAccountStore()
            let twitterAccountType = accountStore.accountType(withAccountTypeIdentifier: ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter)
            accountStore.requestAccessToAccounts(with: twitterAccountType, options: nil) { (granted, error) in

                if granted {
                    let accounts = accountStore.accounts(with: twitterAccountType)
                    if (accounts?.count)! > 0 {
                        self.twitterAccount = accounts?.last as! ACAccount
                        self.uploadImageToTwitter(imageURL: image, fileSize: fileSize)
                    }
                    else{
                        let error = "Please set your twitter account in Settings."
                        print(error)
                    }
                }
                else {
                    print("App permissions are disabled in device twitter settings, please enable it.")
                }
            }
        }


func uploadImageToTwitter(imageURL:UIImage,fileSize: UInt32){


    if let imageData : NSData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(imageURL, 0.5)! as NSData{
            self.tweetImageInit(imageData: imageData, imageSize: Int(fileSize))

        }else{
            print("Something Wrong")
        }
