I've tried to create a dynamic links with branch.io to redirect to my mobile app but i encounter some issues : The tweet is not visible neither in general feed nor in notifications mention of the target user. However when i tweet with a normal url it's okay no problem.
Any solution ?
That's very strange! What's the Branch link URL you're sharing on Twitter?

I am working on a app which has the user feed of posts and I want to post feed post on facebook just like instagram do and if user will clicks on facebook shared post user will redirect to app or appstore, we are not using any post hosting server.
To implement this feature I found this url from facebook and I successfully got the object:
{
"canonical_url": "url",
"id": "643402985734299"
}
here I am facing problem to share my post with this given object please help.
I recommend using a deferred deep linking service like Branch which is free to use. You'll be able to generate links that work from most other apps including Facebook. You can start by implementing the iOS SDK.
In terms of sharing, you should be able to use the Facebook iOS SDK to add functionality for sharing pieces of content directly to Facebook. If you embed a Branch link as the contentURL you'll be able to link to the content in your app regardless of whether the app is installed.
Branch already leverages App Links for you so you do not need to do any specific handling just for Facebook.
I have video sharing and content sharing enabled for my iOS application with Branch.io deeplinking. When I share my contents from mobile to social networks and any user clicks on the same link from desktop, I would like to redirect them to a particular page in website.How can I achieve this?
Alex from Branch.io here: this is accomplished via the $desktop_url link control parameter. You can read about how to use it on this docs page
I'm trying to figure out how to post from xcode to a specific user's timeline. I found a lot of posts but they seemed to be for older versions of the facebook sdk.
I'm looking here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/feed-dialog/v2.4
And the only option I'm seeing is to use url redirection.
I'm looking here for options here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/ios
But I'm not seeing any way to specify it to post to a different user's timeline.
So is the url redirection the only way to do it? What I want to do is press a button on my ios app, and then have it post to a facebook wall. If I use url redirection, it will open up a browser... do the posting and then redirect somewhere... where I assume I will have javascript code to close the browser.
Are there any other options? Thanks.
You can only post to the timeline of the logged in user. Posting to the timeline of one or more friends of the user is not supported.
I've never used the FaceBook SDK before so I'm not sure what I should be using or whether what I'm thinking of can actually be done. But I want to try to integrate some Facebook functionality with my ASP.NET MVC3 application.
What I need to do:
I want to be able to access someone's Facebook account (granted their permission) and allow them to send out invitations to my website. But, when a friend clicks on the link in the invitation message (whether a wall post, PM... whatever), follows through and registers on the site, I want to be able to track that (maybe by appending the ID or username of the this user to the invitation link, and then extract it from the query string when the invited person/friend registers).
Questions:
From what I've read so far and according to this link, what I think I should be using is the Facebook Connect API. Am I right?
Is what I'm trying to achieve actually doable? Basically, can I append the username to the invitation link? Is Facebook okey with that?
Do you have any good resources other than the Facebook Developer Wiki? Share them please!
P.S: I do not want users to login to my website using their Facebook account. I have my own Membership system. I just want to allow them to invite their friends to register at my website and track that. More requirements might arise but for now that is all what I need.
Your help is appreciated!
EDIT:
Ok I went ahead and created some test app using the Developer FB app to do some experiments. One thing I do not understand though...
Canvas Page: The base URL of your app on Facebook.
Canvas URL: Facebook pulls the content for your app's canvas pages from this base URL.
So what exactly is the Canvas URL? From what I understand, it's a URL to a resource (page?) on my website which Facebook can display inside the Canvas Page, is that correct?
yes
Yes
Facebook documentation + facebook developers forum, that should be all for you. Also, as you are using asp.net mvc, facebooksdk discussion will help you also if you use that library. I will stringly recommend to use that library.
Also, it seems, you are a beginner on facebook api with c#. If so, you can consider my blog post for beginners on facebook open graph api tutorial in c#. There also some other related posts also.Hope you may like them.
Let me know if you wanted to know something else also specifically.

Nope. The Developer Wiki has its issues but the Facebook Docs usually solve your problems.
Hey all,
I would like to make possible to share links of my website on twitter with a click. I've already done this for facebook, just one click and the classic facebook window appears where you can also write what you're thinking while sharing the link.
Is it possible to do the same for Twitter? I've searched through the web but I could only find apps that go on your browser and not for a website. Moreover it would be better a simple code instead of an app, if it's possible.
Thanks
You mean this?
