How to publish Facebook actions that include maps using iOS SDK? - ios

Question

I want to publish an Open Graph fitness:runs action on Facebook and I want it to render with a map of my path. The path is defined by the path coordinates below. How do I do this? The method below publishes the action and I can see the text for the action in my Activity Log on Facebook and in my timeline. But I do not see a map when I hoover over any element of the posted action. What am I doing wrong?
- (void) fbPost:(NSString *)txt toList:(NSString *)listId { // post
[FBSession setActiveSession:[FacebookManager instance].facebook.session];
NSMutableDictionary<FBGraphObject> *action = [FBGraphObject graphObject];
action[#"course"] = #"http://samples.ogp.me/48586838281818";
action[#"privacy"] = privacyStr;
NSMutableArray *coords = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:59];
for (int i = 0; i < 59; i++)
{
NSMutableDictionary *coord = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithCapacity:3];
#define TIMESTAMP #"fitness:metrics:timestamp"
#define LATITUDE #"fitness:metrics:location:latitude"
#define LONGITUDE #"fitness:metrics:location:longitude"
[coord setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"2013-04-01T12:%2d:00+0000", i] forKey:TIMESTAMP];
[coord setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", 37.442564 + i * 0.00001] forKey:LATITUDE];
[coord setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", -122.164879 + i * 0.000001] forKey:LONGITUDE];
[coords addObject:coord];
NSLog(#"coord=%# i=%d", coord, i);
}
action[#"path"] = [coords JSONString];
action[#"message"] = txt;
[FBRequestConnection startForPostWithGraphPath:#"me/fitness.runs"
graphObject:action
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
id result,
NSError *error) {
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
if (!error) // it's a post, save id
{
}
else
{
}
}];
}

NSMutableDictionary<FBGraphObject> *action = [FBGraphObject graphObject];
NSMutableDictionary<FBGraphObject> *course = [FBGraphObject openGraphObjectForPost];
course[#"og:title"] = #"My Workout";
course[#"og:type"] = #"fitness.course"; //very important
course[#"og:url"] = #"www.fitness.com"; // give a meaningful url here
course[#"fitness:duration:value"] = #"3000";
course[#"fitness:duration:units"] = #"s";
course[#"fitness:calories"] = #"100";
course[#"fitness:distance:value"] = 1.7;
course[#"fitness:distance:units"] = #"mi";
course[#"fitness:speed:value"] = #"2";
course[#"fitness:speed:units"] = #"m/s";
course[#"fitness:pace:value"] = #"0.5";
course[#"fitness:pace:units"] = #"s/m";
course[#"og:description"] = #"course_description";
NSMutableArray *locationDataPointsArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
locationDataPointsArray[0] = #{#"location:latitude": 12.91277, #"location:longitude": 77.56671};
locationDataPointsArray[1] = #{#"location:latitude": 12.91284, #"location:longitude": 77.56681};
locationDataPointsArray[2] = #{#"location:latitude": 12.91297, #"location:longitude": 77.56691};
course[#"fitness:metrics"] = locationDataPointsArray;
action[#"fb:explicitly_shared"] = #"true";
action[#"course"] = course;
NSString *path = #”me/fitness.runs”;
//for custom story: NSString *path = #”me/urNamespace:name of ur action”;
[FBRequestConnection startForPostWithGraphPath:path graphObject:action completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
if (!error) {
NSLog(#"Posted fitness action, id: %#", [result objectForKey:#"id"]);
NSString *alertText = #"Workout successfully posted to Facebook :)";
NSString *alertTitle = #"Success";
[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:alertTitle message:alertText delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK!" otherButtonTitles:nil] show];
}
else {
NSLog(#"error in posting action %#", error.description);
}
}];
