I need to link my unity app with Facebook, my game pulls data from a website, will it be possible to put it on facebook? Is there a way to also save the game status via facebook?
Yes you can link your app with Facebook. Have a look here at the SDK Facebook provides. Also have a look at this tutorial they provide. Think it has some mention of dealing with game status' via Facebook. Also this script shows an example of saving a score around line 126.

Is there a way to show your facebook wall on a website? I have been looking for days and all I can find is methods of showing ones OWN messages. Im looking for something(script/code) that will show the complete wall including what friends are posting. Is this even possible or is it prohibited by Facebook? I did search there 'developers api site' but couldnt find an anwser to this.
It's possible but you need to build your own custom version as officially facebook doesn't provide any pre-built plugins or code.
You'll have to code a lot of back-end and front-end stuffs. If you're really interested in building something like that, you might wanna consider looking at this script Facebook Wall Script 3.0 with PHP and Jquery
If you want to save time, you might buy that script, do the necessary changes and integrate facebook graph API so it shows data from your fb profile, but if you want build more advance version and have lot of time, then you can build a custom version from scratch.
i don't see the point of show your facebook wall on a website since can have that easily by pointing the user back to your facebook account.
i would suggest you to display a facebook page plugin instead as you can earn some like and it is free of charge.
could you let me know why you want to do that?
I am using FacebookAgent by Amanapps. It is a nice little wrapper for Facebook integration in iPhone apps. So far everything is peachy. But I noticed that when I upload a photo to my account, Facebook does not automatically publish it to the wall, instead Facebook puts it on hold and I need to goto See All Photos and approve them first.
Is there any way I can bypass this "approval" method. I feel it is ridiculous since upon logging in, the user has already give consent to the "app" to post the photo.
Thanks in advance for any insights.
Ok, anyway, I had to move away from FacebookAgent since in latest FB SDK, FacebookAgent is no longer updated. I ended up coding my own Facebook usage in the app using latest SDK with SSO. I even wrote a tutorial for it, for those who'd like to know how to do it please visit: http://xcodenoobies.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-to-upload-photo-and-update-status.html
Thanks.
I'm building a native iPhone app that takes a picture, does some funny stuff with it. I want the users to be able to tag their facebook friends on the resulting picture, similar to what the facebook app does. It seams that official facebook ios-sdk https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk lacks this feature.
I wonder: is there some library or some advice that can help avoiding reinventing the wheel?
Simple go here:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/photos.addtag/
and it will build a photo tag URL for you on the right hand side. All you have to do is send a GET request with NSURLConnection, Apple has an example on how to send GET's and POST's:
Here is Apple's example
I'm currently using facebook to post text in the user's wall. I'm wondering if it's possible to post pictures, such as screenshots from my app for example, in the posts, because someone explained me that currently it's only possible to attach pictures from an URL to the post, and not any picture from the iphone.
It's also possible to upload pictures to the user's facebook album ?
Thanks.
I don't for sure how to do it, but the Facebook SDK Api would probably support what you want.
http://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk
The opensource ShareKit framework - http://www.getsharekit.com/
Does this successfully and easily - You can publish a photo to your wall, and it is added to an album as well.
Great stuff...:)
Oded.
Who can explain step by stem how to publish on the Facebook user account pictures and albums from my iPhone app?
I know about FB iPhone sdk, but cannot understand the whole process.
1. Should I register application on the FB?
2. Can I publish my local pics, or must use links on the previously published pics on hosts like yfrog.com.
3.etc
Yes, implementing FB iPhone SDK for the first time is subject for a book...
Have you seen this video?

It's a little outdated, but it was a good help for me to begin understanding the whole process...
As for question 2., I believe you can upload and publish the picture to FB user account, if you request the appropriate permissions.
You can also try ShareKit: http://www.getsharekit.com/
It makes things real easy :)
