I am using SLComposeViewController to send a tweet. I have all the necessary permissions from Twitter to send a tweet, however, when I present the tweet sheet it never shows. From debugging my code I can see that the SLComposeViewController's completion handler is automatically called at SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled is the result.
Has anyone come across this before? As I said, I have all necessary permissions and my Twitter account and password are set up correctly in my iPhone settings.
EDIT
This only happens sometimes. Majority of the time I have no problem with the Tweet sheet, so the code does work, but for some users they are experiencing this.
thanks
My code here:
- (void)presentTweetSheet {
SLComposeViewController *tweetSheet = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter];
tweetSheet.completionHandler = ^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result) {
switch (result) {
case SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled:
SWLog(#"Tweet Cancelled");
break;
case SLComposeViewControllerResultDone:
SWLog(#"Tweet sent");
break;
default:
break;
}
};
UIWindow *window = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow;
ECSlidingViewController *slidingVC = (ECSlidingViewController *)window.rootViewController;
[slidingVC.topViewController presentViewController:tweetSheet animated:YES completion:^{
SWLog(#"Tweet sheet displayed");
[self removeActivityIndicatorFromCell];
}];
}
I checked multiple apps with the same code written in them, non of them worked. i tried sorting it out by code but it did not work. So i re-booted my iPhone and it WORKED!
Hope this helps

I used SLComposerController, but it is not disabling the post button when the character count exceeds 140 character . I want to post an URL ,image and initial text on Twitter via my iOS application. How to do this?
It is up to the user to set the correct length to send, but I think it won't send if it is too long, or give you a callback if it didn't work.
Here is what I did:
-(void) postOnTwitterInsideView:(UIViewController *)viewController
message:(NSString *)postMessage{
if( [SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter] ){
SLComposeViewController *twitterPost = [SLComposeViewController
composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter];
[twitterPost setCompletionHandler:^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result){
switch (result) {
case SLComposeViewControllerResultDone:
// tell user message was sent
break;
case SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled:
// tell user message was not sent
break;
default:
break;
}
}];
[twitterPost addImage:self.imagePost];
[twitterPost setInitialText:postMessage];
[viewController presentViewController:twitterPost
animated:YES
completion:nil];
} else {
// tell user he has to activate this service in his settings of iOS
}
}
I am implementing sharing with Facebook and Twitter - On the simulator both of these work, but on my iPhone 4S running iOS6 the Facebook button freezes the app. The code is the same as it is for the Twitter and functions the same (it hits presentViewController, then the app just stops responding).
The code is as follows:
SLComposeViewController *mulitpartPost = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
// Set the text of the tweet
[mulitpartPost setInitialText:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"I've had a change in weight of "]];
// Add the image to the tweet
if([[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] boolForKey:#"fbProgPicShare"])
[mulitpartPost addImage:[_imgCurrent image]];
mulitpartPost.completionHandler = ^(SLComposeViewControllerResult res){
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
};
// Display the tweet sheet to the user
[self presentViewController:mulitpartPost animated:YES completion:nil];
isAvailableForServiceType also returns YES if I put that into the code - so I cannot think of why this would freeze when the Twitter button works on the phone. Both Twitter and FB accounts are setup.
Any help would be appreciated.
Strange Fix
It seems to work consistantly now that I do
// Display the tweet sheet to the user
if(!(multipartPost == nil))
[self presentViewController:mulitpartPost animated:YES completion:nil];
Otherwise it still freezes.
I have done all steps that are explained here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/getting-started/facebook-sdk-for-ios/3.1/
I have tested the demo projects and fail the same as on my project. (you can test it on HelloFacebookSample project).
When you don't have any Facebook account configured, you can't share something on facebook, or upload an image etc, (the same as twitter framework). So the frameworks shows you a message that tells this:
There are no Facebook accounts configured. You can add or create a Facebook account in Settings.
You click on settings but the only thing that happends is that this dialog is hided, but the framework doesn't open the Settings tab (as work on for example on the twitter framework).
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Please use SLComposeViewController class for Facebook sharing, setting button work for you.
if([SLComposeViewController class])
{
SLComposeViewController *controller = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
[controller setInitialText:text];
[controller addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:encod]];
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:Nil];
//[message release];
SLComposeViewControllerCompletionHandler myBlock = ^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result)
{
NSString *output= nil;
switch (result)
{
case SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled:
output= #"Action Cancelled";
break;
case SLComposeViewControllerResultDone:
output= #"Post Succesfull";
[self displayText:#"done"];
break;
default:
break;
}
};
controller.completionHandler =myBlock;
}
This code is working for me
Why dont u use UIActivityViewController ?
iOS 6 have the best support with UIActivityViewController
UIActivityViewController *ActivityView = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:Items applicationActivities:nil];
Best Integration for Facebook, Twitter and sms Service

What are the steps I need to follow to use iOS 6's new SLComposeViewController to post to Facebook, Twitter or Sina Weibo?
For details on this framework please see Apple's Social Framework Class Reference
Additional tutorials:
http://soulwithmobiletechnology.blogspot.com/2012/07/tutorial-how-to-use-inbuilt.html
http://www.mobile.safilsunny.com/iphone/integrating-facebook-ios/
https://rudeboy-quickies.blogspot.com/2012/06/steps-to-integrate-facebook-in-ios6.html
For this example, we will be using the SLComposeViewController's SLServiceTypeFacebook. If you wish to use Twitter or SinaWeibo just change out the SLServiceType to one of the following:
SLServiceTypeFacebook
SLServiceTypeSinaWeibo
SLServiceTypeTwitter
iOS 6 has made it very easy to post directly to Facebook, Twitter or Sina Weibo using the SLComposeViewController. This works very similarly to iOS 5's TWTweetComposeViewController.
First, in your view controller's header file (.h) #import the Social Framework and the Accounts Framework.
#import <Social/Social.h>
#import <Accounts/Accounts.h>
Here we will declare a simple UIButton and an IBAction that we will later link to that button and a void (sharingStatus) which will be used to check that the selected sharing service is available.
#interface ViewController : UIViewController
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *easyFacebookButton;
- (IBAction)facebookPost:(id)sender;
- (void)sharingStatus;
#end
#implementation ViewController
Then, in your implementation file (.m), we'll start by implementing the (sharingStatus) void that we declared in the header file. sharingStatus uses SLComposeViewController's isAvailableForServiceType BOOL to return whether or not you can post to the service specified in its argument. In this case, we will use the service type SLServiceTypeFacebook. If the service is available the post button will be enabled with an alpha value of 1.0f, and if the service isn't available the button will be disabled its alpha value set to 0.5f.
- (void)sharingStatus {
if ([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook]) {
NSLog(#"service available");
self.easyFacebookButton.enabled = YES;
self.easyFacebookButton.alpha = 1.0f;
} else {
self.easyFacebookButton.enabled = NO;
self.easyFacebookButton.alpha = 0.5f;
}
}
Here we will set up the IBAction that will call up the composer. For good practice, we will check isAvailableForServiceType again to avoid calling up the composer for a service type that isn't available. (Incase something went wrong during the last check, or if availability somehow changed in the fraction of a second in between tapping the post button and the composers all/init. The code below has been set up to display a Facebook composers sheet with text, an image, and a link. This action also utilises a completion handler for the composer's cancelled and done results.
- (IBAction)facebookPost:(id)sender {
if ([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook]) {
SLComposeViewController *mySLComposerSheet = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
[mySLComposerSheet setInitialText:#"iOS 6 Social Framework test!"];
[mySLComposerSheet addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"myImage.png"]];
[mySLComposerSheet addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12503287/tutorial-for-slcomposeviewcontroller-sharing"]];
[mySLComposerSheet setCompletionHandler:^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result) {
switch (result) {
case SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Post Canceled");
break;
case SLComposeViewControllerResultDone:
NSLog(#"Post Sucessful");
break;
default:
break;
}
}];
[self presentViewController:mySLComposerSheet animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
In viewWillAppear we will register an observer to ACAccountStoreDidChangeNotification so the application can be notified when account information changes. This observer will then be removed in viewDidDisappear.
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(sharingStatus) name:ACAccountStoreDidChangeNotification object:nil];
}
- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidDisappear:animated];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:ACAccountStoreDidChangeNotification];
}
And finally, open up interface builder and add a UIButton which will be the post button. Then in the connections inspector link the IBOutlet and IBAction we created earlier to the button, and that's it! You're done!
Just use this code to share on Facebook.
SLComposeViewController *controllerSLC = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
[controllerSLC setInitialText:#"First post from my iPhone app"];
[controllerSLC addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.appcoda.com"]];
[controllerSLC addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"test.jpg"]];
[self presentViewController:controllerSLC animated:YES completion:Nil];
If you want this for Twitter then just change SLServiceTypeTwitter.
Safe Use of SLComposeViewController
if ([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook])
{
SLComposeViewController *fbPost = [SLComposeViewController
composeViewControllerForServiceType: SLServiceTypeFacebook];
[fbPost setInitialText:#"Text You want to Share"];
[fbPost addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"shareImage.png"]];
[self presentViewController:fbPost animated:YES completion:nil];
[fbPost setCompletionHandler:^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result) {
switch (result) {
case SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Post Canceled");
break;
case SLComposeViewControllerResultDone:
NSLog(#"Post Sucessful");
break;
default:
break;
}
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}];
}
I am writing an app that involves sending emails, tweets, and Facebook messages (in that order) from a user's phone. The problem is that if the user multitasks and then returns to the app in the middle of editing a tweet sheet, when he/she returns, the tweet sheet cancels.
I am using this code to present the tweet sheet (in case it helps):
- (void)sendTweet {
TWTweetComposeViewControllerCompletionHandler
completionHandler =
^(TWTweetComposeViewControllerResult result) {
switch (result)
{
case TWTweetComposeViewControllerResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Twitter Result: canceled");
break;
case TWTweetComposeViewControllerResultDone:
NSLog(#"Twitter Result: sent");
break;
default:
NSLog(#"Twitter Result: default");
break;
}
[rootViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
};
[tweetViewController setCompletionHandler:completionHandler];
// ...Set up the tweet sheet with text and image...
[rootViewController presentModalViewController:tweetViewController animated:YES];
}
Is there any way to prevent the tweet sheet from canceling after the user switches apps? Any advice would be much appreciated!
