Share on facebook when app is not configured - ios

I want post something on Facebook. I have used SLComposeViewController for that. I just want to ask how can i share if user hasn't configured its app in phone.
Is there any way that I open it in browser and then post anything. Consider I want to post any string say "hello there" . So i keep this string , open safari and login there . After I am logged in the string is posted automatically
if SLComposeViewController.isAvailableForServiceType(SLServiceTypeFacebook) {
let fbShare:SLComposeViewController = SLComposeViewController(forServiceType: SLServiceTypeFacebook)
fbShare.completionHandler = {
result in
switch result {
case SLComposeViewControllerResult.Cancelled:
//Code to deal with it being cancelled
break
case SLComposeViewControllerResult.Done:
//Code here to deal with it being completed
break
}
}
refrenceViewController.presentViewController(fbShare, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else {
//open safari and post it there
}

I used the following code to post videos to facebook. You can use similar approach to post your text.
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:outputFileURL];
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
data, #"video.mp4",
#"video/mp4", #"contentType",
caption, #"description",
nil];
/* make the API call */
FBSDKGraphRequest *request = [[FBSDKGraphRequest alloc]
initWithGraphPath:#"/me/videos"
parameters:params
HTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBSDKGraphRequestConnection *connection,
id result,
NSError *error) {
if(!error) {
DDLogDebug(#"result %#",result);
} else {
DDLogError(#"error description : %#",error.description);
[Helper showToast:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Unable to share to Facebook : Error: %#",[error localizedDescription]] withDuration:1];
}
}];
of course before this you need to make sure that you already have the FBSDKAccess token granted. You can check the full documentation from facebook sdk

Get user profile details (especially email address) from Twitter in iOS

I am aiming to get a user's details based on his/her Twitter account. Now first of all, let me explain what I want to do.
In my case, user will be presented an option to Sign-up with Twitter account. So, based on user's Twitter account, I want to be able to get user details (e.g. email-id, name, profile picture, birth date, gender etc..) and save those details in database. Now, many people will probably suggest me to use ACAccount and ACAccountStore, a class that provides an interface for accessing, manipulating, and storing accounts. But in my case, I want to sign up user, even if user has not configured an account for Twitter in iOS Settings App. I want user to navigate to login screen of Twitter (in Safari or in App itself, or using any other alternative).
I have also referred the documentation of Twitter having API list here. But I am a lot confused how user should be presented a login screen to log into the Twitter account and how I will get profile information. Should I use UIWebView, or redirect user to Safari or adopt another way for that ?
Finally, after having a long conversation with sdk-feedback#twitter.com, I got my App whitelisted. Here is the story:
Send mail to sdk-feedback#twitter.com with some details about your App like Consumer key, App Store link of an App, Link to privacy policy, Metadata, Instructions on how to log into our App. Mention in mail that you want to access user email address inside your App.
They will review your App and reply to you within 2-3 business days.
Once they say that your App is whitelisted, update your App's settings in Twitter Developer portal. Sign in to apps.twitter.com and:
On the 'Settings' tab, add a terms of service and privacy policy URL
On the 'Permissions' tab, change your token's scope to request email. This option will only been seen, once your App gets whitelisted.
Put your hands on code:
Agree with statement of Vizllx: "Twitter has provided a beautiful framework for that, you just have to integrate it in your app."
Get user email address
-(void)requestUserEmail
{
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 {
// Handle user not signed in (e.g. attempt to log in or show an alert)
}
}
Get user profile
-(void)usersShow:(NSString *)userID
{
NSString *statusesShowEndpoint = #"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/show.json";
NSDictionary *params = #{#"user_id": userID};
NSError *clientError;
NSURLRequest *request = [[[Twitter sharedInstance] APIClient]
URLRequestWithMethod:#"GET"
URL:statusesShowEndpoint
parameters:params
error:&clientError];
if (request) {
[[[Twitter sharedInstance] APIClient]
sendTwitterRequest:request
completion:^(NSURLResponse *response,
NSData *data,
NSError *connectionError) {
if (data) {
// handle the response data e.g.
NSError *jsonError;
NSDictionary *json = [NSJSONSerialization
JSONObjectWithData:data
options:0
error:&jsonError];
NSLog(#"%#",[json description]);
}
else {
NSLog(#"Error code: %ld | Error description: %#", (long)[connectionError code], [connectionError localizedDescription]);
}
}];
}
else {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", clientError);
}
}
Hope it helps !!!
How to get email id in twitter ?
Step 1 : got to https://apps.twitter.com/app/
Step 2 : click on ur app > click on permission tab .
Step 3 : here check the email box
Twitter has provided a beautiful framework for that, you just have to integrate it in your app.
https://dev.twitter.com/twitter-kit/ios
It has a simple Login Method:-
// Objective-C
TWTRLogInButton* logInButton = [TWTRLogInButton
buttonWithLogInCompletion:
^(TWTRSession* session, NSError* error) {
if (session) {
NSLog(#"signed in as %#", [session userName]);
} else {
NSLog(#"error: %#", [error localizedDescription]);
}
}];
logInButton.center = self.view.center;
[self.view addSubview:logInButton];
This is the process to get user profile information:-
/* Get user info */
[[[Twitter sharedInstance] APIClient] loadUserWithID:[session userID]
completion:^(TWTRUser *user,
NSError *error)
{
// handle the response or error
if (![error isEqual:nil]) {
NSLog(#"Twitter info -> user = %# ",user);
NSString *urlString = [[NSString alloc]initWithString:user.profileImageLargeURL];
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc]initWithString:urlString];
NSData *pullTwitterPP = [[NSData alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:url];
UIImage *profImage = [UIImage imageWithData:pullTwitterPP];
} else {
NSLog(#"Twitter error getting profile : %#", [error localizedDescription]);
}
}];
I think rest you can find from Twitter Kit Tutorial, it also allows to request a user’s email, by calling the TwitterAuthClient#requestEmail method, passing in a valid TwitterSession and Callback.
In Twitter you can get user_name and user_id only. It is that much secure that you can't fetch email id, birth date, gender etc.., compare to Facebook, Twitter is very confidential for supplying the data.
need ref: link1.
In Swift 4.2 and Xcode 10.1
It's getting email also.
import TwitterKit
#IBAction func onClickTwitterSignin(_ sender: UIButton) {
TWTRTwitter.sharedInstance().logIn { (session, error) in
if (session != nil) {
let name = session?.userName ?? ""
print(name)
print(session?.userID ?? "")
print(session?.authToken ?? "")
print(session?.authTokenSecret ?? "")
let client = TWTRAPIClient.withCurrentUser()
client.requestEmail { email, error in
if (email != nil) {
let recivedEmailID = email ?? ""
print(recivedEmailID)
}else {
print("error--: \(String(describing: error?.localizedDescription))");
}
}
//To get profile image url and screen name
let twitterClient = TWTRAPIClient(userID: session?.userID)
twitterClient.loadUser(withID: session?.userID ?? "") {(user, error) in
print(user?.profileImageURL ?? "")
print(user?.profileImageLargeURL ?? "")
print(user?.screenName ?? "")
}
let storyboard = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "SVC") as! SecondViewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(storyboard, animated: true)
}else {
print("error: \(String(describing: error?.localizedDescription))");
}
}
}
Follow the Harshil Kotecha answer.
Step 1 : got to https://apps.twitter.com/app/
Step 2 : click on ur app > click on permission tab .
Step 3 : here check the email box
If you want to logout
let store = TWTRTwitter.sharedInstance().sessionStore
if let userID = store.session()?.userID {
print(store.session()?.userID ?? "")
store.logOutUserID(userID)
print(store.session()?.userID ?? "")
self.navigationController?.popToRootViewController(animated: true)
}

Facebook "view on ..." text on custom story is not showing

I'm implementing deep linking in an app.
Followed every tutorial I found.
Tested every possible setting.
And the result is: If I post a story with "user_generated": "true", Facebook posts the big photo as it should, but there is no link like "view on Instagram", "view on Foursqare" and so on. So people can't reach the actual object.
Facebook settings:
Display Name, Namespace, App Domains, Site URL, Bundle ID, iPhone Store ID, Deep Linking (ON), Native or desktop app?(ON), Is your App Secret embedded?(OFF)
App Restrictions - No restrictions
I'v set up the open graph action and object and they are working without "user_generated": "true".
I'm sending my code (projectnamespace is replaced for this example):
-(void) shareOnFacebook: (NSString *) image {
NSMutableDictionary<FBOpenGraphObject> *object = [FBGraphObject openGraphObjectForPost];
object.provisionedForPost = YES;
object[#"type"] = #"projectnamespace:photo";
object[#"title"] = _postText.text;
object[#"url"] = responseJson[#"share"];
object[#"og:url"] = responseJson[#"share"];
object[#"al:web"] = responseJson[#"share"];
object[#"web"] = responseJson[#"share"];
if (image) {
NSLog(#"Photo Link: %#", image);
object[#"image"] = #[#{#"url": image, #"user_generated" : #"true" }];
}
// Post custom object
[FBRequestConnection startForPostOpenGraphObject:object completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
if(!error) {
NSString *objectId = [result objectForKey:#"id"];
id<FBOpenGraphAction> action = (id<FBOpenGraphAction>)[FBGraphObject graphObject];
[action setObject:objectId forKey:#"photo"];
[action setObject: #"true" forKey: #"fb:explicitly_shared"];
if (image)
[action setImage:#[#{#"url": image, #"user_generated" : #"true" }]];
// create action referencing user owned object
[FBRequestConnection startForPostWithGraphPath:#"me/projectnamespace:add" graphObject:action completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
if(!error) {
NSString *actionId = [result objectForKey:#"id"];
NSLog(#"Posted story to facebook: %#", actionId);
[self shareAndDismiss: nil];
} else {
// An error occurred
NSLog(#"Encountered an error posting action to Open Graph: %#", error);
[self shareAndDismiss: nil];
}
}];
} else {
// An error occurred
NSLog(#"Error posting the Open Graph object to the Object API: %#", error);
[self shareAndDismiss: nil];
}
}];
}
As far as I have seen, there is no such "View on Foursquare" link on Foursquare posts being shared on Facebook.
The only "View on..." links that I am aware of are for Instagram. However Instagram is a Facebook company. The Facebook and Instagram teams work together for their own photo-sharing experience, which means they are not limited by the API as we are.
I'm afraid that "View on Instagram" is a special feature given to the Instagram app only and that the Facebook API doesn't give that ability to others apps.

How do I inject deep linking query parameters into appLinkData when using Facebook app links on iOS?

My question is predicated on Jason Clark’s statement at f8 2014 that app links is designed to sit side by side well with deep linking technologies. I have a word game app published in 2013 to Canada and Australia using Facebook’s authentication but without deep linking. For the US market launch my intent was to add Facebook deep linking. Managed with the request and feed dialogs to send the Match Identifier UUID for both initiating a match and then bragging about the match (FriendSmash example) at that time to open the game on that match. My day job got in the way and I did not have time to finish QA and support a launch to the US. Last summer I upgraded SDKs (Facebook 3.14) and the url query no longer contained the string ‘notif’ to allow me to parse for the match Id. Therefore, I switched from using [FBSession.activeSession handleOpenURL:url] to the current [FBAppCall handleOpenURL:url …] and some other code from the new FriendSmash example. However, the url passed from the Facebook app no longer contains the ‘ref’ and therefore not the ‘notif’ which was the method documented to utilize my deep linking content. I have since updated my project to Facebook iOS SDK 3.21 (predicated in part by other SDKs, e.g. AWS not supporting arm64).
I currently use the following code to send the brag
- (void) sendBrag
{
// This function will invoke the Feed Dialog to post to a user's Timeline and News Feed
// It will attemnt to use the Facebook Native Share dialog
// If that's not supported we'll fall back to the web based dialog.
NSArray *friend = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: bragMatch.opponentFacebookId, nil];
NSString *linkURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://www.ruleofwords.com/?deeplink_matchno=%#", bragMatch.initiatorMatchNo];
//NSString *linkURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://www.ruleofwords.com"];
NSString *pictureURL = #"https://pacific-castle-1361.herokuapp.com/rowappicon.png";
NSMutableString *msg = [[NSMutableString alloc]
initWithString:#"Just scored 0 points in Rule of Words. Good luck trying to beat that."];
[msg replaceOccurrencesOfString:#"0" withString:bragMatch.initiatorMatchPoints
options:NSBackwardsSearch range: NSMakeRange(0, [msg length])];
// Prepare the native share dialog parameters
FBLinkShareParams *shareParams = [[FBLinkShareParams alloc] init];
shareParams.friends = friend;
shareParams.link = [NSURL URLWithString:linkURL];
shareParams.name = #"Rule of Words Bragging Rights";
shareParams.caption= msg;
shareParams.picture= [NSURL URLWithString:pictureURL];
shareParams.linkDescription = #"Rule of Words, the contagious photography word social game on iPhone.";
if ([FBDialogs canPresentShareDialogWithParams:shareParams]){
[FBDialogs presentShareDialogWithParams:shareParams
clientState:nil
handler:^(FBAppCall *call, NSDictionary *results, NSError *error) {
if(error) {
NSLog(#"Error publishing story.");
} else if (results[#"completionGesture"] && [results[#"completionGesture"] isEqualToString:#"cancel"]) {
NSLog(#"User canceled story publishing.");
} else {
NSLog(#"Story published.");
}
}];
} else {
// Prepare the web dialog parameters
NSDictionary *params = #{
#"to": bragMatch.opponentFacebookId,
#"name" : shareParams.name,
#"caption" : shareParams.caption,
#"description" : shareParams.linkDescription,
#"picture" : pictureURL,
#"link" : linkURL
};
// Invoke the dialog
[FBWebDialogs presentFeedDialogModallyWithSession:nil
parameters:params
handler:
^(FBWebDialogResult result, NSURL *resultURL, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error publishing story %#.", error);
} else {
if (result == FBWebDialogResultDialogNotCompleted) {
NSLog(#"User canceled story publishing.");
} else {
NSLog(#"Story published.");
}
}}];
}
}
(Aside - In my stepping through the sendBrag code the FBDialogs canPresentShareDialogWithParams always fails so that every time it defaults to a feed dialog. Anyone know what is the state is where the share dialog works? )
Then in my AppDelegate I have…
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
openURL:(NSURL *)url
sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication
annotation:(id)annotation {
NSLog(#"app is %# and url is %# and sourceApp is %#", application, url, sourceApplication);
// attempt to extract a token from the url
return [FBAppCall handleOpenURL:url
sourceApplication:sourceApplication
fallbackHandler:^(FBAppCall *call) {
// If there is an active session
if (FBSession.activeSession.isOpen) {
// Check the incoming link
[self handleAppLinkData:call.appLinkData];
} else {
NSLog(#"Access Token is %#", call.accessTokenData);
if (call.accessTokenData) {
// If token data is passed in and there's
// no active session.
if ([self handleAppLinkToken:call.accessTokenData]) {
// Attempt to open the session using the
// cached token and if successful then
// check the incoming link
[self handleAppLinkData:call.appLinkData];
}
}
}
}];
- (void) handleAppLinkData:(FBAppLinkData *)appLinkData {
NSURL *targetURL = appLinkData.targetURL;
if (targetURL) {
//NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL URLWithString:targetURLString];
NSDictionary *targetParams = [self parseURLParams:[targetURL query]];
NSString *ref = [targetParams valueForKey:#"ref"];
// Check if ref parm is among incoming news feed link, otw attribution link
if ([ref isEqualToString:#"notif"]) {
// Get the request id
NSString *requestIDParam = targetParams[#"request_ids"];
NSArray *requestIDs = [requestIDParam
componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
// Get data (of last request) from Graph API call to request id endpoint
//
[self notificationGet:requestIDs[[requestIDs count]-1]];
}
}
}
- (void) notificationGet:(NSString *)requestid {
__block NSString *title;
__block NSString *message;
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:requestid
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
id result,
NSError *error) {
if (! error) {
if (result[#"data"])
{
title = [NSString stringWithFormat:
#"%# requests a match!", result[#"from"][#"name"]];
NSString *jsonString = result[#"data"];
NSData *jsonData = [jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
if (!jsonData) {
NSLog(#"JSON decode error: %#", error);
return;
}
NSError *jsonError = nil;
NSDictionary *requestData =[NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonData options:0
error:&jsonError];
if (jsonError) {
NSLog(#"JSON decode error: %#", error);
return;
}
message = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Match #: %#, Flashes: %#",
requestData[#"deeplink_matchno"],
requestData[#"flashes_gifted"]];
// set global opponentFacebookId for bragging
[[rowGlobals sharedGlobalVars] setRowGlobal:requestData[#"deeplink_matchno"]
forKey:#"deeplink_matchno"] ;
// Set up FB Deep Link Notification
// homeViewController is registered for notification
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
postNotificationName:FBDeepLinkNotification
object:requestData[#"deeplink_matchno"]];
NSLog(#"successfully posted DeepLink notification") ;
} else {
title = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# sent you a request", result[#"from"][#"name"]];
message = result[#"message"];
}
// Delete the request notification
[self notificationClear:result[#"id"]];
} else {
title = #"General Deep Link Error" ;
message = #"Error occured with Facebook FBRequest Connection. This Facebook notification likely has been previously processed." ;
}
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:title
message:message
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil,
nil];
[alert show];
}];
}
Now I recognize I have some clean up to align the dialog setup with how I parse appLinkData to get the matchId UUID for my NSNotification to open on the game, but I am not getting that far to bother cleaning it up.
I have tried many meta tags on my site but at the moment I am just using
<meta property=”al:ios:url” content=”ruleofwords”>
where ruleofwords is a custom URL I added to my app’s plist.
but I cannot seem to put together any URL other than
NSString *linkURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://www.ruleofwords.com"];
which will launch my game by clicking on the Facebook link…
When I use anything like
NSString *urlLink = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"https://www.ruleofwords.com/?deeplink_matchNo=%#", bragMatch.initiatorMatchNo];
Then Facebook will only launch my web page without the custom URL link to my game.
Moreover, Facebook no longer launches it directly; it brings up my web page with an added link displayed as the offset brackets app Links logo.(Although not explicit it does technically follow the Facebook flow diagram). Touching this app Link logo does launch my game. This seems to be the case whether I have the meta tag on my website or not (now I may have other problems since we are only using Godaddy website builder).
Previously with the request dialog I had the ability to populate values such as #”data” with things like my match Id and gifts
NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization
dataWithJSONObject:#{
#"deeplink_matchno": bragMatch.initiatorMatchNo,
#"flashes_gifted": #"0"}
options:0
error:&error];
if (!jsonData) {
NSLog(#"JSON error: %#", error);
return;
}
NSString *challengeStr = [[NSString alloc]
initWithData:jsonData
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSMutableDictionary *params =
[NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
bragMatch.opponentFacebookId, #"to",
#"Rule of Words Bragging", #"name",
msg, #"caption",
#"Rule of Words, the contagious photography word social game on iPhone.",
#"description",
urlLink, #"link",
#"https://pacific-castle-6969.herokuapp.com/rowappicon.png", #"picture",
challengeStr, #"data",
nil];
// Invoke the dialog
//[self.facebook dialog:#"feed" andParams:params andDelegate:self];
//[FBWebDialogs presentFeedDialogModallyWithSession:nil
[FBWebDialogs presentRequestsDialogModallyWithSession:nil
message:msg
title:nil
parameters:params
handler:
^(FBWebDialogResult result, NSURL *resultURL, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
// Case A: Error launching the dialog or publishing story.
NSString *errormsg = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Error encountered posting Facebook brag with error %#", error.localizedDescription];
NSLog(#"%#", errormsg);
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Facebook Brag Error"
message:errormsg
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok"
otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
} else {
if (result == FBWebDialogResultDialogNotCompleted) {
// Case B: User clicked the "x" icon
NSLog(#"Player canceled Facebook brag post via x icon.");
} else {
// Case C: Dialog shown and the user clicks Cancel or Share
NSDictionary *urlParams = [self parseURLParams:[resultURL query]];
//if (![urlParams valueForKey:#"post_id"]) {
if ([urlParams valueForKey:#"error_code"]) {
// User clicked the Cancel button
NSLog(#"error message is %#", [urlParams valueForKey:#"error_message"]);
NSLog(#"Player canceled Facebook brag post via Cancel button.");
} else {
// User clicked the Share button
//NSString *postID = [urlParams valueForKey:#"post_id"];
NSString *postID = [urlParams valueForKey:#"request"];
NSLog(#"Player Successfuly Posted RoW Match via Facebook brag, id: %#", postID);
}
}
}
}];
However, I no longer have al_applink_data in the passed URL for this request dialog, it just has an access_token with the original custom URL.
url is fb407545862655947://authorize/#access_token=CAAFyqSpfj8sBAGxahmdTCl1D9fs5hZBt3OfKP2MHCtM8STHadqEjlyFnXDTNHScjsxZCI6q0H8ZAppNSqJIJt83uN4LemkfklLjOdPTv3JZBtg3xTVZBKOhzdOMaZCGob5x2FPddZBzmaZBhIaE8dIgNqPfi9IlEuwQ2oHq6tEgA1w1pNESnHuDyK9gD7vswAC93nO7cCmCT4KBgxI22UDB3nINYZA058g8AZD&expires_in=3600 and sourceApp is com.facebook.Facebook
When I add the #”data” param with
[FBWebDialogs presentFeedDialogModallyWithSession:…]
although this argument is accepted by the feed dialog I the url does not get my match UUID or anything extra from my #”data” param…
url is ruleofwords:///?al_applink_data=%7B%22target_url%22%3A%22http%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fwww.ruleofwords.com%5C%2F%22%2C%22extras%22%3A%7B%22fb_ref%22%3A%22Default%22%7D%2C%22referer_app_link%22%3A%7B%22url%22%3A%22fb%3A%5C%2F%5C%2F%5C%2F%3Fbacktrack_id%3Ddlr5p6iu_6a-OeUn%22%2C%22app_name%22%3A%22Facebook%22%7D%7D and sourceApp is com.facebook.Facebook
So I am at a loss how I am supposed to inject content specific information so that I can open my game with the match, which the opponent has requested or bragged about. I probably would have given up a long time ago but I did once have deep linking working (SDK 3.5?). I am wondering if I should be at another release level of the SDK for deep linking. It seems like the Facebook platform has significantly changed how it packages appLinkData. And although Facebook’s documentation has improved over the past two years, many of the examples which are required to put this all together do not seem to be referring to the same level of SDK. So Facebook how do I inject content into appLinkData so I can support deep linking with SDK 3.21? I thought about adding the Bolts framework but Jason implied it was designed for outlinking apps, which is not my case.
I can directly type in my iPhone Safari something like ‘ruleofwords://matchId=UUID’ and get the app delegate to parse out the [url query] so I could probably implement deep linking with push notifications, but I still like the ability to have a Facebook user tap on a link and launch the specific match directly.

iOS: Post on wall of Selected FB Friends using FBWebDialogs

I can post image to facebook friend's wall using FBWebDialogs.What am looking is how can i post image to multiple Friends...
Below is my code for single post
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:

#"http://i.imgur.com/g3Qc1HN.png", #"picture",
#"100006771363037",#"to",
nil];
// Show the feed dialog
[FBWebDialogs presentFeedDialogModallyWithSession:nil
parameters:params
handler:^(FBWebDialogResult result, NSURL *resultURL, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
// An error occurred, we need to handle the error
// See: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/errors
NSLog(#"Error publishing story: %#", error.description);
} else {
if (result == FBWebDialogResultDialogNotCompleted) {
// User canceled.
NSLog(#"User cancelled.");
} else {
// Handle the publish feed callback
NSDictionary *urlParams = [self parseURLParams:[resultURL query]];
if (![urlParams valueForKey:#"post_id"]) {
// User canceled.
NSLog(#"User cancelled.");
} else {
// User clicked the Share button
NSLog(#"fb web dialog result=====>%#",result);
NSString *result = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"Posted story, id: %#", [urlParams valueForKey:#"post_id"]];
NSLog(#"result %#", result);
}
}
}
}];
While adding friends profile_id's separated by comma in #"to" field getting error.Added screen shot in below
You cannot add multiple ids in the to parameter in a Feed Dialog. In fact there's no way to post a feed to multiple friends at once. You have to invoke the dialog for each of the friend separately.
According to documentation, to is:
The ID or username of the profile that this story will be published to. If this is unspecified, it defaults to the value of from.

iOS: Canvas URL error when posting to wall

Please see the 29th December update notes at the bottom of the page.
Hi I'm doing maintanance work on someone else's iOS project at work (which is kind of soul destroying because they haven't documented their code).
The problem is that after the user logs in, attempting to share a post to the wall always results in
error 100: "The post's links must direct to the application's connect or canvas URL".
I've searched for the past 2 hours and haven't found any results specifically for iOS (but plenty for wordpress, which didn't help)
Any ideas what might be causing this.
Here's the overseas developer code for posting to the wall:
-(void)uploadPropertyDetailsOnFacebookWall
{
[FBSettings setLoggingBehavior:[NSSet setWithObjects:FBLoggingBehaviorFBRequests, FBLoggingBehaviorFBURLConnections, nil]];
NSString* photoURL = #"";
NSString *strFullPropertyDetailLink=#"";
if (!kIsListOnce) {
photoURL = [currentItem objectForKey:#"Photo1FeaturedURL"];
strFullPropertyDetailLink=[currentItem objectForKey:#"FullDisplayLink"];
}
else {
strFullPropertyDetailLink=[currentItem objectForKey:#"FullDisplayLink"];

Here's the error I keep getting:

Please help, I have done more research online since my initial posting, and still can't find the answer.
Update Dec 17th:
I am using SDK 3.1.1. I'd like to avoid having to update, as I'm maintaining someone else's code.
Using me/feed, in a fbrequestconnection, any additional paramater aside from "message", crashes the app.
I've also tried linking the app to a test account with settings suggested by other stack overflow users viewable here
I've also disabled post streaming security
Other Questions
Am I missing something in linking up the app to Facebook?
Why won’t it detect that the “link” parameter is the same as the canvas url?
I've been struggling with posting to facebook wall too.
Why don't you use the facebook SDK instead of the API?
There are two ways to post to facebook wall using the SDK
Via Feed Dialog
or
Via Share Dialog
The Feed Dialog is very easy to implement and you can control what you want to post through the parameters you send, the only bad thing is that the parameters are limited.
The Share Dialog uses OpenGraph and requires the user to have the facebook APP installed, you also have to create an action in app developer page in facebook so your app knows what to do with that action.
The good part is that you can share almost all that you want.
I suggest you check the Feed Dialog if you want a simple facebook share, it's the easiest way.
Edit
NSString *message = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#/%#",domain,TypeName,[object alias]];
// Put together the dialog parameters
NSMutableDictionary *params =
[NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"TITLE", #"description",
message, #"link",
[object image],#"picture",
nil];
// Invoke the dialog
[FBWebDialogs presentFeedDialogModallyWithSession:nil
parameters:params
handler:
^(FBWebDialogResult result, NSURL *resultURL, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
// Error launching the dialog or publishing a story.
//NSLog(#"Error publishing story.");
} else {
if (result == FBWebDialogResultDialogNotCompleted) {
// User clicked the "x" icon
//NSLog(#"User canceled story publishing.");
} else {
// Handle the publish feed callback
NSDictionary *urlParams = [self parseURLParams:[resultURL query]];
if (![urlParams valueForKey:#"post_id"]) {
// User clicked the Cancel button
//NSLog(#"User canceled story publishing.");
} else {
// User clicked the Share button
NSString *msg = #"Partilhado com sucesso";
//NSLog(#"%#", msg);
// Show the result in an alert
[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Aviso"
message:msg
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK!"
otherButtonTitles:nil]
show];
}
}
}
}];
