I'm trying to make a tweak with theos to the Facebook app so that when a certain person comes online (defined by the user) a notification shows saying they came online.
Is there anyway of doing this for an iPhone/iPad/iPod and if so, how?
Thanks for reading

When trying to share a picture on Twitter from an iOS app (of mine) -- already on the appStore -- I keep getting this message:
But the reality is that I am already logged in to a Twitter account.
I can switch to the Twitter app, confirm that I am logged in and come back to the current app.
Am I doing something the wrong way with Twitter?
Or is possible that something is not working with the app itself?
I need to say that this kind of sharing used to work without problems.
So this might be due to some recent change in the iOS.
I'm trying to set up App Invites on an iOS app I developed. However, when I invite others to use the app, they do not get any notifications.
Right now, the App Link I obtained redirects me to a link starting with itunes.apple.com, but the screen is blank. In addition, when I run the didCompleteWith Results function, I get "didComplete = 1;". I am not sure why the invitation is not working and why the person on the other end is not getting a notification. I have a hunch it could have to do with my App Link, but I am honestly not sure at all. I am trying to use Facebook's purely Mobile API since I do not have a website for my app. Also, it is not released on the App Store.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

But, you can find the information you're looking for at the links below.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/share
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/ui-controls
Basically, if your user is logged in on your app with Facebook, then you have a few more tools/options to use to accomplish your task.
If your user is not logged in on your app with Facebook, then it is much more restricted.
I want my app to create a new Facebook group chat with certain people that opens either on Facebook's site in Safari or in the native Facebook app when the user presses a button. I want Facebook to handle the whole chat and my app only to initiate it somehow in the cleanest and least involved way possible. My app already uses the Facebook SDK to open an active FBSession, so I've already got login credentials.
Looking around online and in Facebook's docs, I can't find anything that suits my needs. The closest thing I found was in this answer containing a list of Facebook app URLs you can connect to that open the Facebook app to certain pages. There's "fb://chat/(initWithUID:)" and "fb://messaging/compose/(initWithUID:)". However, not only is there no explanation on how to use these, but people say that Facebook has changed these URLs (and does not have any documentation on them), so they don't work anymore unless I reverse-engineer new URLs (which could change again). Ugh, so close!
I also found examples on starting chats with the Facebook Chat API, but that involves logging into Facebook using some networking framework then writing my own GUI and model for sending messages, which I am only prepared to do as a last resort. There should be some way to let the Facebook app or website do all that. Does anyone know how I can do this?
I've found something very close, but I still don't see a way to make my app initialize it with the desired group of friends:
The Facebook SDK has a message dialog that can appear for sending messages to friends. This isn't exactly what I wanted but is good enough because it means that all the programming is already done for me by Facebook, and users should be able to see these messages on https://facebook.com and the Facebook apps. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/share#message-dialog
Let me start by saying facebook's developer documentation sucks. Bad.
I'm using the facebooker plugin in rails to let users sign up through facebook connect. Now when certain things occur I want to send notifications to certain users through facebook. I heard some say that notifications must go from one user to another, but I've seen evidence otherwise. I signed up at the site http://www.meetingwave.com/ through fb connect, and now they send me (annoyingly) daily notifications of new things on their site. Also, using the comments widget on my own site www.tmatthew.net, when an anonymous user leaves a comment I get notified of that as well.
So uh, how do you do that? I've been googling all week long and can't seem to find anything. It seems like I should be able to send a notification from my app to one of it's users.
The api call you are looking for is called Notifications.send. The only thing is that they will be disabling it very soon so there is probably no point in implementing it into your application.
