FBSDKShareLinkContent without deep linking to app - ios

I'm using FBSDKShareLinkContent to display a dialog to share a link to Facebook. No matter the link I use (I even tried with https://google.com/) when the post / link is tapped in the Facebook app my app is launched.
I want, however, to load the link in a web browser or the FB browser instead (and not have it launch my app or navigate to the app store). Is there anyway to achieve this? I tried both FBSDKShareDialogModeFeedWeb and FBSDKShareDialogModeAutomatic.
Here is my current code:
FBSDKShareLinkContent *content = [[FBSDKShareLinkContent alloc] init];
content.contentURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://google.com/"];
FBSDKShareDialog* dialog = [[FBSDKShareDialog alloc] init];
dialog.mode = FBSDKShareDialogModeFeedWeb;
dialog.shareContent = content;
dialog.fromViewController = self;
[dialog show];

Add this to your code:
FBSDKShareLinkContent *content1 = [[FBSDKShareLinkContent alloc] init];
content1.contentURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook"];
content1.contentTitle=#"Share";
[FBSDKShareDialog showFromViewController:self withContent:content1 delegate:nil];

How to share a post to a facebook group, not my own timeline, using the Facebook SDK share dialog?

I'm trying to share a link object to a Facebook group using the share dialog. No one seems to have answered this question satisfactorily yet.
The SDK documentation clearly states that you can use the share dialog to share to your own timeline or groups, yet I can't figure out how to do it. I also don't see any other apps that do it. Using the web share dialogue on a desktop you can see the option, but on a mobile website you don't! This screenshot of the iOS Facebook app shows what I'm talking about:
I'm trying to get the functionality in where it says 'tap to change' at the top.
It appears you have to use an instance of FBSDKShareDialog, and set the mode to FBSDKShareDialogModeNative.
FBSDKShareDialog *dialog = [[FBSDKShareDialog alloc] init];
dialog.fromViewController = viewController;
FBSDKShareLinkContent *content = [[FBSDKShareLinkContent alloc] init];
content.contentURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.test.com"];
content.contentTitle = productItem.productTitle;
dialog.shareContent = content;
dialog.mode = FBSDKShareDialogModeNative;
if (![dialog canShow]) {
dialog.mode = FBSDKShareDialogModeWeb;
}
dialog.delegate = self;
[dialog show];

FBSDKMessageDialog for iOS doesn't work

FBSDKShareLinkContent *content = [[FBSDKShareLinkContent alloc] init];
content.contentURL = [NSURL URLWithString:APPSTORE_URL_MAIN];
content.contentTitle = INVITE_TITLE;
content.imageURL = [NSURL URLWithString:INVITE_IMG_URL];
content.contentDescription = INVITE_TEXT;
[FBSDKMessageDialog showWithContent:content delegate:self];
If the Facebook Messenger app is closed, this just opens the app and does nothing else.
Works fine is the FB Messenger app is working in background

iOS: FBSDKShareDialog custom message

I'm creating the FBSDKShareLinkContent object and feeding it into the FBSDKShareDialog. I'm trying to set up the dialog's default message to something like "my highscore is %d !". sharing itself is working and has an empty message by default. can anyone help please?
thank you!
EDIT: here is my piece of code:
FBSDKShareLinkContent* content = [[FBSDKShareLinkContent alloc] init];
content.contentURL = [NSURL URLWithString: #"https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cylinder-game"];
content.contentTitle = #"Cylinder Game";
content.contentDescription = #"Cylinder Game is endless, rhythm based game with super addictive gameplay";
FBSDKShareDialog* dialog = [[FBSDKShareDialog alloc] init];
[dialog setMode:FBSDKShareDialogModeAutomatic];
[dialog setShareContent:content];
[dialog setDelegate:self];
[dialog setFromViewController:UnityGetGLViewController()];
There's no way to set the default message using the share dialog offered by the SDK. It's also considered prefilling, and is against the Facebook Platform Policy, see section 2.3 https://developers.facebook.com/policy
I found that the title and description is related to url object anyway. That means the text of message above the object, which user see in share dialog cannot be affected it seems.
And the title and descripton of URL object only works if you set the dialog mode to Native or FBSDKShareDialogModeFeedBrowser.
dialog.mode = FBSDKShareDialogModeNative;
if (![dialog canShow]) {
dialog.mode = FBSDKShareDialogModeFeedBrowser;
}
Another thing is, there is some property of FBSDKShareLinkContent called "quote", which displays some text above URL object and under message itself, but it is not displayed in all modes. For example not in Native, but yes in FBSDKShareDialogModeFeedBrowser.
FBSDKShareLinkContent *content = [[FBSDKShareLinkContent alloc] init];
content.contentURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.x.com"];
content.contentDescription = #"desc";
content.contentTitle = #"title";
content.quote = #"quote";
