share an image and text on facebook sdk v3.13 - ios

In older Facebook SDK I used the below code to enable the user to share a screenshot, and I added a text above the image that contains a link to the App.
The focus was on the screenshot and not on the link.
In the latest SDK, I can't find a way to do so.
In their tutorial they show how to share a link and add an image to the link frame, or how to share a photo but this is not what I want.
The most important thing to me is that the image I add to the post should be big, and I have to add a text and link above it (not text the user will add, but a text I am adding)
This is the code I used in older SDK version:
NSDictionary * params = #{
#"link" : link,
#"message" : strMessagetoPost,
#"picture" : UIImageJPEGRepresentation(img, 1.0f)};
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"me/photos"
parameters:params
HTTPMethod:#"POST"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection,id result,NSError *error)
{
if (error) {
}
else {
}
}];
Any idea how to do it with FBDialogs class or in any other way?

NSString *str_link = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#uploads/%#-5.jpg",app.Main_url,[Data_Dict objectForKey:#"deal_id"]];
//NSLog(#"%#",str_link);
NSDictionary *params = #{
#"name" :[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[Data_Dict objectForKey:#"name"]],
#"caption" : #"",
#"description" :[Data_Dict objectForKey:#"desc_title"],
#"picture" : str_link,
#"link" : #"",
};
// Invoke the dialog
[FBWebDialogs presentFeedDialogModallyWithSession:nil
parameters:params
handler:
^(FBWebDialogResult result, NSURL *resultURL, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
//NSLog(#"Error publishing story.");
[self.indicator stopAnimating];
} else {
if (result == FBWebDialogResultDialogNotCompleted) {
//NSLog(#"User canceled story publishing.");
[self.indicator stopAnimating];
} else {
//NSLog(#"Story published.");
[self.indicator stopAnimating];
}
}}];
}

For sharing you can use Social Framework.Here is the code.
Add Social framework and use this header
#import <Social/Social.h>
-(void)ShareOnFacebook
{
if([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType: SLServiceTypeFacebook])
{
SLComposeViewController *controller = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
[controller setInitialText:#"Greetings"];
[controller addImage:finalImage];
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:Nil];
}
}
It's work for me..Try it..

Cannot post to Facebook using iOS app

I am creating an iOS app. I need to post some links to Facebook events using my app. I have integrated Facebook SDK. By using Facebook Graph API, i found the code for the same and it works fine in Graph API Explorer. But it does not working in my app. When trying to post the link to Facebook,it shows the following error. I am using Xcode 7.3 and iOS 9.
error=Error Domain=com.facebook.sdk.core Code=8 "(null)" UserInfo={com.facebook.sdk:FBSDKGraphRequestErrorCategoryKey=0, com.facebook.sdk:FBSDKGraphRequestErrorHTTPStatusCodeKey=403, com.facebook.sdk:FBSDKErrorDeveloperMessageKey=(#200) Insufficient permission to post to target on behalf of the viewer, com.facebook.sdk:FBSDKGraphRequestErrorGraphErrorCode=200, com.facebook.sdk:FBSDKGraphRequestErrorParsedJSONResponseKey={

"fbtrace_id" = DWR8SW4K1Ls;
message = "(#200) Insufficient permission to post to target on behalf of the viewer";
type = OAuthException;
};
};
code = 403;
My code is given below.
-(void)postToFacebook

[self post];
// TODO: publish content.
} else {

}];
}

}
}];
}
And i have looked into https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/ios9 and tried all the combination of LSApplicationQueriesSchemes in my info.plist.Please help me.What is the problem? Why i can't post to Facebook?
SLComposeViewController *fbCompose;

share image on twitter and get favourites list from iOS native app

I found many tutorials online how to share image on twitter from an iOS app. But i want to know 2 things about social sharing with twitter-
If i post an image on twitter via my app, Can i get image id from twitter in callback method/block? If yes then how?
If i fetch favourites of a user, is the response include text posted with that image? I checked for the same on twitter Rest API doc that there is a text property returned in the response.
Now my question is that if i post some text with image via my iOS app and later make this post favourite in twitter app and now i get my favourites list through twitter rest API in my app, does the text property in the response is same that i posted with my post?
Edit about #1 above:- from SLComposeViewControllerResult docs i found that completion handler return one of
typedef NS_ENUM (NSInteger,
SLComposeViewControllerResult ) {
SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled,
SLComposeViewControllerResultDone
};
constant so there is no info about image just posted. Am i right? If not please give me some reference about how to get image id please.
Here I have customize alertView,NSLog,etc. You ignore that.
Here is the code to share to twitter by using STTwitter library

Upload Facebook Photo And Auto Log User Out (Kiosk App)

I have an iPad app designed for use in a kiosk environment.
The user flow should be
Take Photo
Choose photo from iPad Album view
Share to Facebook and / or Twitter
Automatically log user out after image has been posted
I have the auto-logout of Twitter working properly, my issue is with the Facebook portion.
I have implemented the Graph API for internal testing, and would love to be able to post a complete story this way, but I don't think there is a way to log out from the Facebook app once the authorization and post is complete.
For a fallback, I can use the Feed Dialog and auto-logout from there, but as far as I can tell, there is no way to upload a local image for sharing to Facebook from there.
My Facebook Sharing code is as follows:
- (IBAction)facebookShare:(id)sender {
/// Package the image inside a dictionary
NSArray* image = #[#{#"url": self.mergeImages, #"user_generated": #"true"}];
// Create an object
id<FBGraphObject> object =
[FBGraphObject openGraphObjectForPostWithType:#"me/feed:photo"
title:#"a photo"
image:self.mergeImages
url:nil
description:nil];
// Create an action
id<FBOpenGraphAction> action = (id<FBOpenGraphAction>)[FBGraphObject graphObject];
// Set image on the action
[action setObject:image forKey:#"image"];
// Link the object to the action
[action setObject:object forKey:#"photo"];
// Hardcode the location based on Facebook Place ID
id<FBGraphPlace> place = (id<FBGraphPlace>)[FBGraphObject graphObject];
[place setId:#"279163865580772"]; // Singley + Mackie
[action setPlace:place];
// Check if the Facebook app is installed and we can present the share dialog
FBOpenGraphActionShareDialogParams *params = [[FBOpenGraphActionShareDialogParams alloc] init];
params.action = action;
params.actionType = #"me/feed:share";
// If the Facebook app is installed and we can present the share dialog
if([FBDialogs canPresentShareDialogWithOpenGraphActionParams:params]) {
// Show the share dialog

}
}
// Auto log the user out

I have searched Stack Overflow far and wide for an answer to this, but have found no solutions.
I was finally able to figure this out! Posting the answer here to hopefully benefit others who are in the same situation.
First, add the following to your AppDelegate.m:
-(BOOL) application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation {
return [FBAppCall handleOpenURL:url sourceApplication:sourceApplication fallbackHandler:^(FBAppCall *call) {
// Facebook SDK * App Linking *
// For simplicity, this sample will ignore the link if the session is already
// open but a more advanced app could support features like user switching.
if (call.accessTokenData) {
if ([FBSession activeSession].isOpen) {
NSLog(#"INFO: Ignoring app link because current session is open.");
}
else {
[self handleAppLink:call.accessTokenData];
}
}
}];
}
// Helper method to wrap logic for handling app links.
- (void)handleAppLink:(FBAccessTokenData *)appLinkToken {
// Initialize a new blank session instance...
FBSession *appLinkSession = [[FBSession alloc] initWithAppID:nil
permissions:nil
defaultAudience:FBSessionDefaultAudienceNone
urlSchemeSuffix:nil
tokenCacheStrategy:[FBSessionTokenCachingStrategy nullCacheInstance] ];
[FBSession setActiveSession:appLinkSession];
// ... and open it from the App Link's Token.
[appLinkSession openFromAccessTokenData:appLinkToken
completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, FBSessionState status, NSError *error) {
// Forward any errors to the FBLoginView delegate.
if (error) {
//[self.loginViewController loginView:nil handleError:error];
}
}];
}
Wherever you are calling the posting action in your app, add this line to your header file:
#property (strong, nonatomic) FBRequestConnection *requestConnection;
And the following to your implementation file:
#synthesize requestConnection;
- (IBAction)facebookShare:(id)sender {
NSArray *permissions = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
#"publish_actions", #"publish_checkins", nil];
UIImage *img = self.facebookImage;
[FBSession openActiveSessionWithPublishPermissions:permissions
defaultAudience:FBSessionDefaultAudienceEveryone allowLoginUI:YES
completionHandler:^(FBSession *session,FBSessionState s, NSError *error) {
[FBSession setActiveSession:session];
if (!error) {
// Now have the permission
[self processPostingImage:img WithMessage:#"Enter_your_message_here"];
} else {
// Facebook SDK * error handling *
// if the operation is not user cancelled
if (error.fberrorCategory != FBErrorCategoryUserCancelled) {
[self presentAlertForError:error];
}
}
}];
}
-(void)logout {
[FBSession.activeSession closeAndClearTokenInformation];
[FBSession.activeSession close];
[FBSession setActiveSession:nil];
}
- (void)processPostingImage:(UIImage *) img WithMessage:(NSString *)message {
FBRequestConnection *newConnection = [[FBRequestConnection alloc] init];
FBRequestHandler handler =
^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
// output the results of the request
[self requestCompleted:connection forFbID:#"me" result:result error:error];
};
FBRequest *request=[[FBRequest alloc] initWithSession:FBSession.activeSession graphPath:#"me/photos" parameters:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:UIImageJPEGRepresentation(img, 0.7),#"source",message,#"message",#"{'value':'EVERYONE'}",#"privacy", nil] HTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[newConnection addRequest:request completionHandler:handler];
[self.requestConnection cancel];
self.requestConnection = newConnection;
[newConnection start];
}
// FBSample logic
// Report any results. Invoked once for each request we make.
- (void)requestCompleted:(FBRequestConnection *)connection
forFbID:fbID
result:(id)result
error:(NSError *)error
{
// not the completion we were looking for...
if (self.requestConnection &&
connection != self.requestConnection)
{
return;
}
// clean this up, for posterity
self.requestConnection = nil;
if (error)
{
}
else
{
[self logout];
};
}
- (void) presentAlertForError:(NSError *)error {
// Facebook SDK * error handling *
// Error handling is an important part of providing a good user experience.
// When fberrorShouldNotifyUser is YES, a fberrorUserMessage can be
// presented as a user-ready message
if (error.fberrorShouldNotifyUser) {
// The SDK has a message for the user, surface it.
[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Something Went Wrong"
message:error.fberrorUserMessage
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil] show];
} else {
}
}
Note:
To make this work with auto-logout, you also have to disable Safari on the device. This can be done by going to Settings > General > Restrictions > Allow Safari > Off. Once that is turned off, the Facebook IBAction will popup a UIWebView inside the app itself. When tapped, the current user can enter their Facebook credentials, then the app will post the image, and log the user out so the next user can use the app without having access to the previous user's Facebook details.

iOS sharing picture on Social Networks

My app let the user take a picture, and add an overlay before saving it.
I'd like to let the user share his picture using whatever app able to handle images (i.e : email, facebook, twitter...), like an Intent on Android.
I tried to use UIDocumentController, but it doesn't show Facebook or Twitter as it does in the official gallery. It also makes my app crashes after taking the second picture.
Is there a simple way to do so ? I don't wan't to use the Facebook SDK and so on.
Here is what I do when the picture is taken :
[stillImageOutput captureStillImageAsynchronouslyFromConnection:videoConnection completionHandler:
^(CMSampleBufferRef imageSampleBuffer, NSError *error) {
if(!error){
//Resize the picture and add the overlay
UIImage *picture = [self imageFromSampleBuffer:imageSampleBuffer];
//Custom code letting me save the picture in a specific album
[self.library saveImage:picture toAlbum:#"myApp" metadata:metadata withCompletionBlock:^(NSError *error,NSURL* assetURL) {
if (error!=nil) {
NSLog(#"Big error: %#", [error description]);
} else {
NSLog(#"Image Saved");
NSString *path = [[NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"tmp.jpg"];
//Only way to use UIDocumentController is to save the file at a known location
NSData* imagedata = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(picture, 0.9f);
[imagedata writeToFile:path atomically:NO];
NSLog(#"%#",path);
docController.URL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
// This make my app crash after the second picture
[docController presentPreviewAnimated:YES];
}
}];
} else {
NSLog(#"%#",error);
}
}];
iOS has an inbuilt social sharing kit. You can share images via Email, Facebook and Twitter. But for using Google+ and other social services you will need their respective SDKs.
1) For Facebook
SLComposeViewController *controller = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
[controller setInitialText:message];
[controller addImage:image];
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:Nil];
2) For twitter replace SLServiceTypeFacebook with SLServiceTypeTwitter.
3) For Email
MFMailComposeViewController *emailShareController = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
emailShareController.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[emailShareController setSubject:#"Share Image"];
[emailShareController setMessageBody:message isHTML:NO];
[emailShareController addAttachmentData:UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1) mimeType:#"image/jpeg" fileName:#"your_image.jpeg"];
if (emailShareController) [self presentViewController:emailShareController animated:YES completion:nil];
4) Remember to add Social.Framework to your project and the following header files
#import <MessageUI/MFMailComposeViewController.h>
#import <Social/Social.h>
#import <MobileCoreServices/MobileCoreServices.h>
5) Set your view controller as delegate of
MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate
Dismiss MailViewController once mail is send-
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
