I hope this has not been asked before, couldnt find out.
We're developing a mobile game and we're starting to think about stories generated with open graph but we're having a doubt about our goal and whether it's going to work or not.
Our question is the following:
can we publish stories on users' wall/timeline that would be visible by friends in their feed, from an app that's only mobile and does not exist on http://facebook.com ?
We understand that this is possible when the app is on both FB and mobile, but we're not sure about mobile only.
Did you ever get an answer to this. According to my research so far adding a canvas app will allow the posts to show. Removing it and they will not show.
Hoping you may have found a work around.

I've seen this a couple times now and can't figure it out. I sign up for a SaaS service that ties into Facebook API. It prompts me to first create the Facebook App and then supply the App ID/Secret. Afterwards, it then goes behind the scenes and automatically creates the Platform (e.g. Facebook Canvas) and fills in the fields.
Digging through the SDK, I don't see anything about this. Scouring the web has landed me empty handed.
Does anyone know how this is done?
Thanks :)
I am trying to send a link to the review section on the FB app so someone can leave a review for the business page.
This link opens the businesses app page but would like to structure it so it automatically opens the leave review section.
Any suggestions to ad something to the end of this URL to make this happen?

This is not supported. People have found ways to work around this, but it's not guaranteed to work and not officially supported.
I am using the Facebook iOS SDK 3.1 in my latest, and I'm using the native share dialogue from FBNativeDialogue.
It has a "friends" button in the corner, which I always throught was to tag friends (just like the location button tags the location), but I realised that this is privacy settings for the post.
Therefor, Im still confounded how you can tag friends in a post. Nothing seems to happend when i type # followed by my friends names, is this not implemented yet ? And does anyone know of clever way to implement this ?
What the customer wants is the similar to the "Who are you with?" button as shown here:
I just don't think this is possible, considering the current Facebook SDK (3.5.1) documentation -- https://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/ios-6/#nativepostcontroller. It states:
iOS 6 includes a native Share Sheet that lets users post status updates, photos, links, and locations to Facebook and includes support for setting the audience for the post and tagging the post with a location.
Even when you post something on Facebook from iOS' Notification Center, it only allows you to share the information mentioned above, without tagging friends.
Instead, you could use the Facebook views, as they do here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/tutorials/ios-sdk-tutorial/show-friends/. But if you have to use the Native Dialogs, I can't see a way. If you get it to work, please let us know the solution.
Hey,
sorry to bother you again, but I can't get this to work and would appreciate a working example project.. I try to give my users the possibility to post a short, predefined message from inside my App on either twitter or facebook (both should be available, but it doesn't have to update both on the same action, so one button to "share on facebook", one button to "tweet about it", so if you have a solution for facebook, but not for twitter or vice versa, I'd happily take the solution you have, either facebook or twitter and go on searching for the other one). It's my first time trying to interact with facebook and twitter, so I need something like dummy-proof explanation.
I found MGTwitterEngine but it seems to be hell to get it working. I've found Ben Gottlieb's Twitter OAuth-iPhone bundle, inserted my data, "registered" my app, and stuck with a gray screen on my device.
I'd need a working example of an iPhone App Project, that manages to tweet or update the facebook status of a user (maybe after a short and painless(!) login). Than I'd happily fiddle around myself to get this working, but by now I only find links to Desktop-Applications, examples or demos that won't work out of the box, or expect you to have done this several times before -.-
Thanks for your help, and sorry if that is an easy question, but I can't find the answer I need..
Perhaps the easiest way to be able to publish to a number of different services is ShareKit. This supports sending messages to Twitter, Facebook and a bunch of other services.
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 :)
