Errors when posting to a friends feed using FB iOS SDK - ios

Some form of this has been asked/answered before but I'm still pretty hazy on the issue. I'm trying to post to a friends feed but keep getting "error com.facebook.sdk code = 5" errors when trying to use startWithGraphPath: from the new FB SDK for ios. The FBSession is active and open and the access_token appears to be correct... Here's some code:
-(void)inviteUser:(NSString *)whoever {
if ([FBSession.activeSession.permissions indexOfObject:#"publish_actions"] == NSNotFound) {
// No permissions found in session, so ask for it
[FBSession.activeSession reauthorizeWithPublishPermissions:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"publish_actions"] defaultAudience:FBSessionDefaultAudienceFriends completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, NSError *error) {
if (!error){
[self sendInvite:whoever];
}
}
}];
}
-(void) sendInvite:(NSString *)whoever {
NSMutableDictionary *params =
[NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"A name of something", #"name",
nil];
[FBRequestConnection
startWithGraphPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/feed", whoever]
parameters:params
HTTPMethod:#"POST"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
id result,
NSError *error) {
NSString *alertText;
if (error) {
alertText = [NSString stringWithFormat:
#"error: domain = %#, code = %d",
error.domain, error.code];
} else {
alertText = #"Posted successfully.";
}
// Show the result in an alert
[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Result"
message:alertText
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK!"
otherButtonTitles:nil]
show];
}];
I'm still new at this, and am probably missing something basic. But I'm just not seeing it.

Fixed it. I think there were two problems:
Not having the session properly communicated inside the app (i.e. I had the FBSession open in a loginController, but not in the sendInvite controller <- not the exact names, obviously). As a result, the access_token actually wasn't active. I should have followed the FB docs and put the FBSession methods in the appdelegate.
I was using "publish_action" permissions when I believe I should have been using "publish_stream."
Works smoothly with these two changes. I do have a follow-up question, though: how to post on someone else's wall using the new SDK's native share dialog? I'll probably ask this as a separate question.

parse 'pfloginviewcontroller' certain facebook permissions not working in ios

My facebook login with parse is working perfectly with no issues but the access token that is generated is not showing permission for friendlist although I gave that permission at the time of login. I came to know when I used facebook Graph API 'Friendlists'(fbID/friendlists) and the response array is empty. So, also run Graph API explorer with the same access token generated. It does not show me any error and data array is same empty and a debug message with
"The field 'friendlists' is only accessible on the User object after the user grants the 'read_custom_friendlists' permission"
This is the method I am using
WLLoginViewController *login = [[WLLoginViewController alloc]init];
login.fields = PFLogInFieldsFacebook;
NSArray *permission = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:#"email",#"read_custom_friendlists",#"publish_actions",#"user_location",#"user_hometown",#"user_website",#"user_about_me",#"user_photos",#"user_friends",#"read_custom_friendlists", nil];
login.facebookPermissions = permission;
WLLoginViewController has inherited PFUserLoginManager and I am calling it from some other class.
- (void)logInViewController:(PFLogInViewController *)logInController didLogInUser:(PFUser *)user {
[FBRequestConnection startForMeWithCompletionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"permissions%#",logInController.facebookPermissions);
if(result) {
if ([result valueForKey:#"hometown"]) {
NSString *nn = [[result valueForKey:#"hometown"] valueForKey:#"name"];
[user setValue:[[result valueForKey:#"hometown"] valueForKey:#"name"] forKey:#"hometown"];
}
if ([result valueForKey:#"location"]) {
[user setValue:[[result valueForKey:#"location"] valueForKey:#"name"] forKey:#"location"];
}
[user setObject:[result valueForKey:#"id"] forKey:kWLUser_FacebookId];
[user setObject:[result valueForKey:#"name"] forKey:kWLUser_Name];
[user saveInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
if([PFInstallation currentInstallation]) {
// save in background current installation.
[[PFInstallation currentInstallation] setObject:user forKey:#"user"];
[[PFInstallation currentInstallation]saveInBackground];
}
}];
[[ParseManager sharedInstance]saveDeviceToken:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]objectForKey:#"DeviceToken"]];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}else {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Could not login" message:#"Could not login to facebook, please try again" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
}
}];
}
This is the method which is which is running when the user return to the app from facebook.The nslog in the code is showing the permission perfectly which I gave.
And finally this is the method for handling facebook request
-(void)handleFacebookFriendsRequest {
NSString *queryParams = #"id,name,picture.width(350).height(250),location,hometown,likes.limit(100000),statuses.limit(1),languages";
[queryParams stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"%#",[FBSession activeSession].permissions);
NSLog(#"%#",[[FBSession activeSession].permissions description]);
NSLog(#"%#",[FBSession activeSession].accessTokenData.accessToken);
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"me/friends?fields=%#",queryParams] completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
if (!error) {
//change For getting everything out
NSLog(#"%#",[result objectForKey:#"data"]);
[[ApplicationDataModel sharedInstance]setFacebookFriendsList:[result objectForKey:#"data"]];
[self facebookRequestDidLoad:result];
} else {
[self facebookRequestDidFailWithError:error];
}
}];
}
I am stuck badly need help. Thanks in advance
The read_custom_friendlists is not a default permission, as a result you have to go through the approval process for this feature (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.2)
To submit items for approval go to:
developers.facebook.com -> My Apps -> Status & Review
Caveat: "People listed in the Roles section of your App Dashboard - including Admins, Developers and Testers - can grant any permission without review. If only people in these Roles will use your app, you don't need to submit it for Login Review."(https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/faq)

How to post photo to Facebook on behalf of user

As an incident of a user taking some action in my app, I want to post an image to Facebook on their behalf. Let's assume the user has already granted me publish_actions permission in class LoginVC (one time permission is used for ad infinitum posting in the future). Then at some in the future, in ActionVC, I want to publish a photo to Facebook. How do I do that? Here is the method I need to implement:
- (void)publishPhoto:(UIImage *)image
{
//what goes in here?
}
So far I have been looking at the samples from Facebook. The closest I come is the following, but it seems to be using a Dialog. But I don't want the user to "know" that the photo is being posted. They already granted the permission and I want the posting to happen without their knowledge as it were. So some other action has triggered the call to publish...
For reference, the code from the Facebook sample looks like this
- (void)publishPhoto:(UIImage *)image
{
BOOL canPresent = [FBDialogs canPresentShareDialogWithPhotos];
NSLog(#"canPresent: %d", canPresent);
FBPhotoParams *params = [[FBPhotoParams alloc] init];
params.photos = #[image];
BOOL isSuccessful = NO;
if (canPresent) {
FBAppCall *appCall = [FBDialogs presentShareDialogWithPhotoParams:params
clientState:nil
handler:^(FBAppCall *call, NSDictionary *results, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error.description);
} else {
NSLog(#"Success!");
}
}];
isSuccessful = (appCall != nil);
}
if (!isSuccessful) {
[self performPublishAction:^{
FBRequestConnection *connection = [[FBRequestConnection alloc] init];
connection.errorBehavior = FBRequestConnectionErrorBehaviorReconnectSession
| FBRequestConnectionErrorBehaviorAlertUser
| FBRequestConnectionErrorBehaviorRetry;
[connection addRequest:[FBRequest requestForUploadPhoto:image]
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *innerConnection, id result, NSError *error) {
[self showAlert:#"Photo Post" result:result error:error];
if (FBSession.activeSession.isOpen) {
self.buttonPostPhoto.enabled = YES;
}
}];
[connection start];
self.buttonPostPhoto.enabled = NO;
}];
}
}
Sorry if this question seems too easy, but I am a newbie to Facebook SDK integration
Generally you definitely want the user to be aware that something is being posted on their behalf, but to answer your question, if they've already granted you publish permissions, then you can use the code in the second "if" statement that you posted above, where it calls FBRequest requestForUploadPhoto:

Whats the reason for " FBSDKLog: -1059155737 is not a valid FBSessionLoginBehavior. Ignoring open call." issue?

Note:- dont direct me to the similar question, i have read them and tried using newer API from parse and facebook. but problem still persists.
It would be really helpful if someone point me in the right direction as to what might be the possible cause for this bug.
Are parse sdk and Facebook sdk not compatible any more?
i read post on this site saying issue fixed with updating parse sdk,but i m still having same issue with parse sdk 1.2.15, 1.2.16 and facebook 3.9, 3.10.
NOTE:- i can get my name,user_id,email after each time I logout and login again. but every time i hit run it shows me the above mentioned bug.
here is my code:-
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]setStatusBarHidden:YES];
[PFFacebookUtils initializeFacebook];
[FBRequestConnection
startForMeWithCompletionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
if (!error) {
userFBid = [(NSString *)[result objectForKey:#"id"] mutableCopy];
NSLog(#"user fb id %#",userFBid);
[self getNamePictureEmail];
}
}];
}
-(void)getNamePictureEmail
{
// GET NAME
NSString *nameURLString=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"https://graph.facebook.com/%#?fields=name",userFBid];
NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:nameURLString];
NSData *data1=[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
// json parsing to convert json response returned by fb into dictionary
NSDictionary *allDataDictionary1=[NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data1 options:0 error:nil];
fbUserName=[allDataDictionary1 objectForKey:#"name"];
NSLog(#"name %#",fbUserName);
[[FBRequest requestForMe]startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
NSDictionary<FBGraphUser> *user,
NSError *error)
{
if (!error)
{
fbUSerEmail = [user objectForKey:#"email"];
NSLog(#"email %#",fbUSerEmail);
[self registerUser];
}
else
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Facebook Sync Error" message:#"Please try login again" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
}
}];
// GET PICTURE
NSString *pictureURLString=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"https://graph.facebook.com/%#/picture?type=normal",userFBid];
NSURL *PictureUrl1=[NSURL URLWithString:pictureURLString];
NSData *data3=[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:PictureUrl1];
}
Finally!
just deleted the framework path under BUILD settings -->> Search Paths deleted and added parse and facebook sdk again. It works all fine now.
hope it helps to many trying to figure it out

facebook content looks diffrent in wall and home page , after posting the content from iOS app using facebook sdk of iOS

Facebook content looks different in wall and home page , after posting the content from iOS app using facebook sdk of iOS,
Used Code : We are using following code for posting the data in facebook wall.
[NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"Found this app ", #"message",
#"AppName", #"name",
#"App Title", #"caption",
#"Description data", #"description",
#"Link URL", #"link",
#"Image URL", #"picture",nil];
// create the connection object.
FBRequestConnection *newConnection = [[[FBRequestConnection alloc] initWithTimeout:kRequestTimeoutInterval] autorelease];
// create the request object, using the fbid as the graph path as an alternative the request* static methods of the
// FBRequest class could be used to fetch common requests, such as /me and /me/friends
FBRequest *request=[[[FBRequest alloc] initWithSession:activeSession
graphPath:#"me/feed"
parameters:params
HTTPMethod:#"POST"] autorelease];
Detail: When we are going to post this data and link url ia available then content are looks different in home screen and profile screen .
Instead od App Name is display the Link URL title in home page but in profile page it display right content like App Title.
It happen only posting from iOS app , it looks good from Android app.
Please help Me tikamchandrakar#gmail.com or tikam.chandrakar#xymob.com
Let me know if any thing is not clear.
Thanks
Try This code. It works Perfect for me -
// Helper method to request publish permissions and post.
- (void)requestPermissionAndPost {
[FBSession.activeSession requestNewPublishPermissions:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"publish_actions"]
defaultAudience:FBSessionDefaultAudienceFriends
completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, NSError *error) {
if (!error && [FBSession.activeSession.permissions indexOfObject:#"publish_actions"] != NSNotFound) {
// Now have the permission
[self postOpenGraphAction];
} else if (error){
// Facebook SDK * error handling *
// if the operation is not user cancelled
if (error.fberrorCategory != FBErrorCategoryUserCancelled) {
// [self presentAlertForError:error];
}
}
}];
}
// Creates the Open Graph Action.
- (void)postOpenGraphAction {
NSString *pageId = #"";
if ([pageIdArray count] > 0) {
pageId = [[pageIdArray objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"page_id"];
}else{
pageId = #"";
}
//http://mistoh.com/mistohws/CategoriesIcon/CategoryIcon_%1$s.png
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"me/feed"
parameters:#{
#"link":#"http://mistoh.com/mistohws/CategoriesIcon/CategoryIcon_1.png",
#"message":[NSString stringWithFormat:#"I just shared a Mistoh at %#",self.mistohNameStr],
#"place":[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",pageId],
#"name":[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",self.mistohNameStr],
#"description":[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",self.mistohDescStr],
#"address":[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",self.mistohAddressStr],
#"tags":[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",self.selectedFriendsStr]
}
HTTPMethod:#"POST"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
//verify result
if (!error) {
[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Shared Mistoh Successfully!!"
message:#""
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil]
show];
}else{
[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Error"
message:#"Error while sharing mistoh with friends."
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil]
show];
NSLog(#"Error : %#",[error description]);
}
}];
}
It looks good on facebook wall and timeline. Thank You..

frictionless sharing using facebook open graph fails intermittently - iOS

When I perform the action I want to show on facebook activities I sometimes get this error code (especially with an object that I haven't previously or recently interacted with):
open graph log: error: domain = com.facebook.sdk, code = 5
upon repeating the action it just eventually works, shows the activity properly on facebook and returns a message that looks like this:
open graph log: Posted Open Graph action, id: 10151538299634942
The open graph information is embedded in pages on our web server and self.recipe.URLatThisApp is the URL for the object. I've been trying to debug this and I'm not sure where the error lies. Would appreciate any pointers.
Note: We just tested this on our website, and the open graph frictionless sharing on the website behaves the same way. So we don't believe that the issue is iOS specific or we are making the same mistake in both our iOS and web implementations.
NSMutableDictionary *params = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[params setObject:self.recipe.URLatThisApp forKey:#"recipe"];
NSLog(#"OPEN GRAPH SAVE");
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"me/ThisAppns:save" parameters:params HTTPMethod:#"POST" completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
NSString *alertText;
if (!error) {
alertText = [NSString stringWithFormat:
#"Posted Open Graph action, id: %#",
[result objectForKey:#"id"]];
} else {
alertText = [NSString stringWithFormat:
#"error: domain = %#, code = %d",
error.domain, error.code];
}
/*
[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Result"
message:alertText
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"Thanks!"
otherButtonTitles:nil]
show];
*/
NSLog(#"open graph log: %#", alertText);
}
];
}
