i'm new to this, i need help coding an app on Xcode posting to Facebook and twitter simultaneously, can anyone help, i've looked at social framework but i want to merge the post button together.
You'll need to use Facebook and Twitter REST API rather than using the native iOS's social frameworks dialogs.
You don't want to display the native dialogs since you'll be unable to post simultaneously.
Instead you need to create your own dialog which sends requests to the networks using SLRequest.

In my application I need to generate a link and needs to share on Twitter and Facebook. For Facebook I have used its SDK but for Twitter I am not able to find any such SDK which I can integrate in my app and make it able to Tweet it.
On Twitter site I saw REST API but I think that cannot be used for Tweeting. One more thing, I have integrated the Twitter with the help of Social.framework but in case if user hasn't provided his/her details in iPhone then that code won't work and I think if Twitter App is installed in the iPhone we can just launch the app but I cannot pass Data to be Tweeted.
How would you have handled this situation?

Try using one of these URIs. You need to handle the case where the user does not have the app installed also. For that I believe you will want to launch the browser and send a web intent.
I've successfully connected in Facebook using Social Framework, also able to get list of my friends. However, I need to invite friend to use my app, I have been reading some articles and stackoverflow, that this need to use Facebook SDK.
Now, I able to achieve this using Facebook SDK. but then I need to re-logging (show pop up or direct to FB app). What I want is, to use session or outhToken that I have while I connected using Social Framework and use it in Facebook SDK. what I know, I have outhToken already. how to use this maybe to pass in FBSession or whatever class object to show app request ?
below is sample of app request.
For those who stumbled this question,
Facebook now remove graph API to grab friends that doesn't install the app. hence we cannot invite friends who doesn't install app.
even using Facebook SDK. if anyone has better solution or any updates on this, please share.
I find it disturbing that its very easy to pick friends with friendPicker (FacebookSDK) and post pictures is extremely easy with IOS 6.0 social framework but to post the two combined seems very difficult.
I'm looking into the Facebook Open Graph API - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/getting-started/
It seems very difficult in comparison since it requires application server etc. Its however the only solution I have found so far.
Is the use of the Open Graph API the way to go, to post a picture with tagged friends to facebook wall, or is there anything in the IOS Social Framework that can accomplish this?
With the Facebook Object API, you no longer need to set up a server in order to host Open Graph objects. You can directly create/add them to Facebook.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/using-object-api/
You can also use the native Share Dialog (in versions 3.5+ of the SDK) to share Open Graph stories with photos and user tagging embedded. See the Scrumptious app on how to create a story with photos and tags and publishing either via Open Graph directly, or using the native Share Dialog.
On a current project I would like to let a user that does NOT have a Twitter account setup login and tweet. Use case: this area of the app is being used by many different end users as part of a check-in process. It is not their personal iPad, they just use it for about 10 minutes to check-in for an event. During that check-in process I want to let them share to FB and Twitter if they choose.
I was able to accomplish the Facebook share without using the system account using Facebook's presentFeedDialogModallyWithSession API, which works great. Is there a similar API in the Twitter SDK? Is there another way I could do this that leverages the Social or Twitter framework?
Recommendations greatly appreciated.
You cannot do this with the built-in twitter SDK. You will need to use the "old" way of doing this, which is via oAuth or xAuth. A good framework for this can be found on github called FHSTwitterEngine. You will need to make your own UI for what you do with twitter itself, but it handles the login/authentication for you as much as possible.
Also this page may be useful to find other 3rd party frameworks (that is updated by twitter themselves) if you need to go outside of their regular SDK and the above does not get you what you want.
Is there any library to implement facebook comments box into an iOS app? I don't want to use comments plugin in uiwebview since I need to create/modify/destroy comments based on facebook object id. I already set up facebook single signon using facebook sdk for iOS. I know how to implement (and already have) this feature using facebook graph api. I was just wondering if something ready to use with ui and everything else is available.
