We have similar functionality for Twitter -- linking to "twitter://post?message=Hello" will open the Twitter app (if installed). Is there a similar way to invoke in-facebook-app share dialog via "fb://"?
The reason we'd like to use "fb://" over "http://facebook.com?sharer.php?u=" is UX. From their phones, most FB and Twitter users use the native apps (not the mobile web versions) so their apps are logged in and their browsers are not. The "twitter://post" link works beautifully for Twitter, but we can't figure out if something similar is possible with Facebook (we tried most of what's on http://wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_Schemes#Facebook but no dice. Even the actual share button invokes the fb web version, not the app). Suggestions?
Thanks.

We're trying to implement deep links in facebook ads. Everything works fine when we open ad link in facebook app: if our app is curretly installed then facebook app launches our app and passes the deep link into it. Also if our app is not installed and we open ad link in facebook app then it redirects to AppStore and we recieve deferred deep link from facebook inside our app.
But when we try to reproduce all these scenarios using facebook browser version, none of the cases are working (neither deep link nor deferred deep link)
Is it possible at all to make deep links work in web environment?
Finally I've asked Facebook support and received the answer:
Deep link is designed to work in apps only. It doesn't work with a
browser. Please don't worry because it's working as expected!

I'm trying to develop a facebook app for facebook pages (Ex: the page has a tab that opens the app directly in the facebook interface).
Unfortunatly i'm not finding any documentation about... I found docs for classical facebook apps, (Ex: a website that want to load some data from facebook).
I don't understand how this kind of apps work.. Are the apps only iframes that show one of my server php? how can I define this relation?
I'm looking for a way to replicate this:
https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http://www.buildfire.com
But I want to force it to use the Facebook App - I know that you can launch the FB app using this command
fb://
but have not been able to recreate the sharer function.
Any ideas? I can share in WhatsApp using
whatsapp://send?text=Check%20out%20this%20site%20http://buildfire.com/
Note: This is for mobile devices only that is why I want to force it to use the FB app
Direct deep-linking into the Facebook App, or better, into a specific section of the app (Share Dialog, User Profile etc.) using the Custom URL Scheme of the Facebook iOS app is not officially supported.
You can however add the FBSDKShareKit framework to your app and open a Share Dialog that way, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/ios#share_dialog
I have a mobile website that I would like to allow users to share the url via their native Facebook and Twitter apps (it is tedious to have to login to m.facebook.com).
I can have a link to fb://post to open the FB app, but I can't figure out how to actually pass params for updating a status. I want the functionality of using the sharer.php link on the desktop, but for the native mobile app.
Is this possible?
I'm new using facebook for developers, I want to use Facebook Login for my app developed in phonegap, where I want that when users want to login, it opens facebook standard page for them to continue with the process and return data to my app. But the first thing I found was that there were many solutions:
The Login Flow for iOS
The Login Flow for Android
The Login Flow for Web (without JavaScript SDK)
But none for what I want. I also found facebook github's solutions but, it seems to be only for Android or iOs, but not both of them:
https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-facebook-plugin
So I have some doubts:
¿What solution should I use for phonegap integration?
I know that I need an app-id that I can find it at facebook's developers page https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/login-flow-for-web-no-jssdk/ , but if that key is locally saved, at the devices, would it be safe?
Thanks
