Answer 1

I encountered the same problem today.
Installing this plugin using the plugin register does not work (for iOS) at the moment.
You must clone the repository (phonegap-facebook-plugin) to your local file system, say $HOME/src/phonegap-facebook-plugin. And then install the plugin pointing to that path, e.g. cordova plugin add $HOME/src/phonegap-facebook-plugin
...
It turns out that FacebookSDK.framework isn't installed properly when fetching through the plugin registry. It should look like this:
$ ls -l plugins/com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect/platforms/ios/FacebookSDK.framework/
total 24
lrwx------ 1 mjl staff 24 Aug 15 15:23 FacebookSDK -> ./Versions/A/FacebookSDK
lrwx------ 1 mjl staff 20 Aug 15 15:23 Headers -> ./Versions/A/Headers
lrwx------ 1 mjl staff 22 Aug 15 15:23 Resources -> ./Versions/A/Resources
drwx------ 4 mjl staff 136 Aug 15 15:23 Versions
But the symlinks aren't preserved when installing through the plugin registry... They are preserved when installing from the local file system though.

Answer 2

I had solved it by installing the plugin using --save option.
in my case I had downloaded the plugin to my computer and what I did is :
cordova plugin add --save <my downloaded plugin directory> --variable APP_ID=<app_id> --variable APP_NAME=<app_name>
The required file will be listed same as #mjl's result from ls -l plugins/com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect/platforms/ios/FacebookSDK.framework/
P/S: if you are using iTerm, you can drag the folder into your iTerm terminal and the full directory path will be type in automatically.

Answer 3

After more and more search around the web, I tried to re create the sym link of Headers, FacebookSDK and Resources and resolved
ln -s ./Versions/A/Headers Headers
and so on
