Im looking into Facebook Marketing API and specifically attribution/conversion data tracking.
What i want to do is replace the AppsFlyer Im currently using for tracking app installs, conversion data etc. with Facebook Attribution.
But it seems like i cannot fetch/retrieve the data from the Facebook SDK, it seems to only be available on the Facebook Attribution dashboard.
My goal is to fetch that data and send it to my own backend for analytics.
In their documentation i found this:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/attribution
but it seems to be something else, more generalised reports...
Is this even possible? Or am i stuck with using Facebook dashboard to view this data?

One of my clients asked me to add the conversion tracking of Google Analytics AdWords, and they send me this link:
https://developers.google.com/app-conversion-tracking/ios/conversion-tracking-server
We use Google Analytics to track everything in our app and we are not interested in use the Facebook SDK to track the same (or almost the same) we track on Google Analytics, so I have been looking for a way to use the Facebook Pixel in a similar way Google does.
In Google I just have to call this URL (this is the example of the link above):
https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/0123456789/?label=abCDEFG12hIJk3Lm4nO&rdid=8880ea97-db86-4e10-a10f-4e71461ab8f9&bundleid=com.example.MyApp&idtype=idfa&lat=0
If I get a 400 response the URL is not well formed and if I get a 200 response everything is ok, is pretty easy and in accordance with our development.
Is there a way to do something similar with the Facebook Pixel? I have look a lot on the web and everything I can find tells me to install the Facebook SDK in my iOS project.
Thanks to all in advance for the help.
As the title suggests I want to add Social media extensions into my iOS application, I have seen multiple tutorials on how to publish to an external source e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc... which seems easy enough.
Now my question is it possible to do the reverse and instead retrieve information from these external factors? For example if I set the application to look directly at my Facebook profile when loaded and retrieve my Facebook status's.
I've heard of the concept of a Facebook Graph API which I plan on learning of the next couple of weeks. I'm looking for any resource materials or videos which I can use to learn from. I'm currently looking through Facebook's developers options but any additional information would be great.
You're going to want to use their official API. These links are a good starting point.

Twitter SDK for iOS
Instagram support for iOS
I am developing an app for iOS8 (also back versions compatible) . I need to Log-in using Facebook and get photos and album information of the user. I was looking around the web and found terminology like "Parse Framework" and "Graph API"
Is Graph API the old way and Parse Framework the recommended latest way ?
do they both apply for photos retrieval from Facebook account ? I also need to use instagram Log-in and photos for the same app does that change the choice between using Graph or Parse ?.
I think you are totally unaware about the terminologies Parse & Graph api.
Is Graph API the old way and Parse Framework the recommended latest way ?
No
Parse is a baas(backend as service). Its a backend service that you will used to store your app data such as images,user data or anything something like sqlite database but its own cloud.
Graph api is facebook api service that you will used to get the graph data such as posts, friends etc. Even if you have used the parse as the backend you have to use the graph api to get the posts from fb.
I'm trying to show information about certain facebook pages in an iOS app, and I know for a fact that it is not needed any authentication when using the graph api by HTTP but I can't find a way to do it with the iOS SDK. Is this possible or should I get it with the graph API??
You can use the Graph API with just an appid and a key, no Facebook SDK required. See this: Facebook API: Can I simply read posts from wall without loging in?
Upon exploring new ideas for apps, I stumbled on one that seemed pretty easy to do once nailed down to the right SDK, etc. I want to use Google OAuth authentication system to report Google Analytics data into my app, from the users account.
A couple days of researched turned up pretty much nothing but on how to add Google ANalytics to YOUR app to track YOUR views, etc.
Where should I begin? Does Google have Sample Code for this?
Google has a complete API for accessing the Google Analytics data. See https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/
There are several iOS apps out there that already use this data to provide graphical and numerical data on your GA account.
