Set the coordinate parameter for facebook graph checkins - ios

Question

I am implementing the Checkins Facebook Graph API using Facebook SDK. This is the code for Checkins
NSDictionary *dict=[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:accsstoken,#"access_token",#"253651184683030",#"place",#"I m here in this place",#"message",#"30.893075018178,75.821777459326",#"coordinates", nil];
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"/me/checkins"
parameters:dict
HTTPMethod:#"POST"
completionHandler:^(
FBRequestConnection *connection,
id result,
NSError *error
) {
NSLog(#"Error...%#",error);
}];
When I tried this above code. It gives me following error:
error = {
code = 160;
message = "(#160) Invalid coordinates. Coordinates must contain at least latitude and longitude.";
type = OAuthException;
};
It gives the coordinates issue. Is there a different way to pass the coordinates parameters? Please help me out of this issue.

As far as I know checkins are deprecated and you should use post with place parameter.
And here is the link. Facebook SDK reference
Edit: For people who too lazy to check the link, there is the sample code from Facebook.
// Create an object
NSMutableDictionary<FBOpenGraphObject> *restaurant = [FBGraphObject openGraphObjectForPost];
// specify that this Open Graph object will be posted to Facebook
restaurant.provisionedForPost = YES;
// Add the standard object properties
restaurant[#"og"] = #{ #"title":#"Restaurant Name", #"type":#"restaurant.restaurant", #"description":#"a description", #"image":image };
// Add the properties restaurant inherits from place
restaurant[#"place"] = #{ #"location" : #{ #"longitude": #"-58.381667", #"latitude":#"-34.603333"} };
// Add the properties particular to the type restaurant.restaurant
restaurant[#"restaurant"] = #{#"category": #[#"Mexican"],
#"contact_info": #{#"street_address": #"123 Some st",
#"locality": #"Menlo Park",
#"region": #"CA",
#"phone_number": #"555-555-555",
#"website": #"http://www.example.com"}};
// Make the Graph API request to post the object
FBRequest *request = [FBRequest requestForPostWithGraphPath:#"me/objects/restaurant.restaurant"
graphObject:#{#"object":restaurant}];
[request startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
if (!error) {
// Sucess! Include your code to handle the results here
NSLog(#"result: %#", result);
_objectID = [result objectForKey:#"id"];
alertTitle = #"Object successfully created";
alertText = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"An object with id %# has been created", _objectID];
[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:alertTitle
message:alertText
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK!"
otherButtonTitles:nil] show];
} else {
// An error occurred, we need to handle the error
// See: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/errors
}
}];

Checkins have been deprecated in favor of attaching place information to posts, or tagging places in Open Graph stories.
