Stable ShareKit fork recommendation? - ios

ShareKit looks abandoned. And there are so many forks. But major maintainer is undeterminable. Now I'm just going to pick one to use. What fork do you recommend? Or replacement?

try ShareKit, they are trying to make the ultimate "best of" fork. ShareKit release 2.0 is in final testing.

Socialize is a new social sharing sdk by the folks behind AppMakr. It's open source and appears to be free. I haven't tried it yet - so I can't vouch for it - but maybe it's worth a look?

As of lately, ShareKit hasn't been working on iOS5 so I had to remove it from my app. Facebook has actually released their own class and it's looking pretty sharp so far. Check it out:
https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk

I'm using the last official release in my application. Works fine though. You can just add new social networks to the kit yourself if needed.

Using ShareKit with Xcode 5

My iPhone application is developed using Xcode 5. I want to use ShareKit library in order to share images and urls from my application. The problem is, that ShareKit seems to be incompatible with Xcode 5 (thought is says it is).
Attached screenshot to illustrate my problem:
Any help (or alternative solution for sharing images and URLs) will be greatly welcome.
It seems you both are referring to an obsolete, long time abandoned version of ShareKit. Check ShareKit 2. For easiest installation I recommend Cocoapods.
Have you followed the instructions here?
(It seems like you've added objc-class.h that has no use)
Also, consider using the native sharing class UIActivityViewController for sharing purposes.

iOS Sharekit Semantic issues

I'm using sharekit for twitter integration. Application works fine with sharekit but compiler shows 25 warnings for semantic issues. Since app is running fine,is it ok to leave this issues without fixing them? Will leaving those issue crash the application for some users?
As a general programming principle you should have no errors or warnings... Many programmers consider any warning an error... Personally I like to see 0 warnings... They are telling you something...
Make sure, that you use latest ShareKit 2.0. There is only one warning left, coming from 3rd party API. If you decide to use try it, the best might be to reimplement it from scratch and follow install wiki. There were many changes since the original share kit.

phonegap 2.0 with admob/iads

I've been searching for hours for a guide/tutorial on how to implement either admob or iads in an iOS app build with PhoneGap 2.0. So far I've been searching in vain. The closest I have gotten to an answer is this:
http://iphone.keyvisuals.com/iphonedev/implementing-admob-ads-in-a-phonegap-project-for-ios-no-plugins-required/
I dont have any objective-c experience and in the above mentioned link I can get past 3rd step. I have tried to download the demo and look at the code, but the app can't even be built. Probably because I'm using PhoneGap 2.0 and not an older version.
Are any of you guys able to guide me, or know of any helpful links for this to succeed?
How about using this plugin from github? Looks like getting it setup shouldn't be too bad.

Howto use Twitter-OAuth-iPhone with iOS5 and ARC

I am trying to use Ben Gottliebs Twitter-OAuth-iPhone within an iOS5 app that uses ARC.
I already flagged the files with -fno-objc-arc. But now I get a lot of errors. I don't know where to start. Without ARC the framework seems to work just fine. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: it seems that is has something to do with SecKeychainItemRef
I can not find the answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3675522/how-to-use-mgtwitterengine-for-iphone
I hope is not considered bad etiquette to recommend my own project, but I believe it's relevant to this question, so...
I just published a new OAuth library to GitHub that's fully ARC compatible. It comes with a working demo that implements the whole Twitter OAuth flow and allows you to post a tweet. You can find it here: RSOAuthEngine.
You might want to consider using the official Twitter API that's available with iOS 5. Here's a post on how to use it: http://www.peterfriese.de/the-accounts-and-twitter-framework-on-ios-5/
You could just tell the compiler not to use ARC on the files included in that library.
ios5 ARC what is the compiler flag to exclude a file from ARC?

Short Link SDK iOs

I'm looking for an sdk/easy way to create a short link programmatically, preferably via a known service such as bitly.com / tinurl.com
The only way I've found doing this is with McAfee's beta short-link service, but it is unknown, and I want the link to be from a known service.
Does anybody know such way?
Tnx in advance!
It may be overkill for your project, but do take a look at ShareKit. The main download page is at http://getsharekit.com/install/#download .
If you do end up using ShareKit then I suggest you use forked version below since it has quite a few bug fixes.
