iOS: FBSDKShareDialog Opening App but Not Allowing User to Share Link - ios

Question

I'm trying to integrate the new Facebook SDK into an app I'm working on and for some reason whenever I try and share a link the share screen doesn't come up. I get kicked to the Facebook app (or the web app if there's no Facebook app installed), but I never get an option to share the link I'm trying to get the user to post.
I've pretty much followed the example on the Facebook developer site to a T, but for reference, here's my code:
- (IBAction)shareToFacebook:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"Share to Facebook");
FBSDKShareLinkContent *content = [FBSDKShareLinkContent new];
content.contentURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://google.com"];
content.contentTitle = #"Test Post!";
content.contentDescription = #"Content Description;
FBSDKShareDialog *shareDialog = [FBSDKShareDialog new];
[shareDialog setMode:FBSDKShareDialogModeAutomatic];
[shareDialog setShareContent:content];
[shareDialog setFromViewController:self];
[shareDialog show];
// [FBSDKShareDialog showFromViewController:self withContent:content delegate:nil];
}
As you can see above, I've tried using both the convenience method Facebook uses in their documentation, as well as being more verbose, but both produce the same result (opening the Facebook app but not giving the user an option to share any content). Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

add to you code
[shareDialog setDelegate:self]
<FBSDKSharingDelegate> to your class
FBSDKSharing code
#pragma mark - FBSDKSharingDelegate
- (void)sharer:(id<FBSDKSharing>)sharer didCompleteWithResults :(NSDictionary *)results {
NSLog(#"FB: SHARE RESULTS=%#\n",[results debugDescription]);
}
- (void)sharer:(id<FBSDKSharing>)sharer didFailWithError:(NSError *)error {
NSLog(#"FB: ERROR=%#\n",[error debugDescription]);
}
- (void)sharerDidCancel:(id<FBSDKSharing>)sharer {
NSLog(#"FB: CANCELED SHARER=%#\n",[sharer debugDescription]);
}
set break point in the didFailWithError and You can see many interesting underlying errors descriptions.

This this example for share image from application to facebook with using swift
func shareWithFacebook(){
let share : FBSDKShareLinkContent = FBSDKShareLinkContent()
share.imageURL = NSURL(string: "image url")
share.contentTitle = "content description "
share.contentURL = NSURL(string: "https://www.example.com")
let dialog : FBSDKShareDialog = FBSDKShareDialog()
dialog.fromViewController = self
dialog.shareContent = share
let facebookURL = NSURL(string: "fbauth2://app")
if(UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(facebookURL!)){
dialog.mode = FBSDKShareDialogMode.Native
}else{
dialog.mode = FBSDKShareDialogMode.FeedWeb
}
dialog.show()
}
Don't forgot to add facebook framework

Answer 3

As it states in the FBSDKShareDialogMode.h:
#discussion The automatic mode will progressively check the availability of different modes and open the most
appropriate mode for the dialog that is available.
So just choose another Share Dialog Mode.

Answer 4

It actually turned out to be a small typo in my info.plist for the app. Just a heads up to anyone else getting a similar error to check over all the information they have setup there and be sure it's all correct.

Answer 5

I had this problem on only one iPhone whereas in other iPhones it worked fine. It turned out that the Facebook app in that device was outdated and hence the FBSDKShareDialog wasn't showing up. Once the Facebook app was updated to the latest version, the FBSDKShareDialog started working fine.

Answer 6

try to use this mode:
dialog.mode = FBSDKShareDialogModeFeedWeb

Answer 7

To share on Facebook through Native iOS app.
We need updated FB SDK installed in app.
I used Pods to installed.
link to get pod set up into Mac: https://cocoapods.org
Write pod file name in podfile :
pod 'FBSDKCoreKit'
pod 'FBSDKLoginKit'
pod 'FBSDKShareKit'
or
manual installation please follow : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/ios
after successful installation of FB SDKs.
Write code on button action:
FBSDKShareLinkContent *content = [[FBSDKShareLinkContent alloc] init];
content.contentURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://AppLink"];
content.quote = #"Sample description of app";
[FBSDKShareDialog showFromViewController:self
withContent:content
delegate:nil];
It will automatically handle Native or Web (if not installed.)
