Thanks In Advance.....

Answer 1

Use MIS-LinkedIn-Share for sharing url.
Just write following code to share.
- (IBAction)share:(id)sender {
[[MISLinkedinShare sharedInstance] shareContent:self postTitle:#"Title" postDescription:#"Description" postURL:#"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FaWTNEyG80" postImageURL:#"http://www.google.com/images/errors/logo_sm.gif"];
}
don't forget to set api and secret key before sharing.
OR
you can also use method with oAuthStarterkit to share url :-
Here is working code for oAuthStarterKit
1) Open the file OAuthLoginView.m
2) Find the method initLinkedInApi, add your api and secret keys here.
3)Comment lines on viewDidAppear in OAuthLoginView as
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
if ([apikey length] < 64 || [secretkey length] < 64)
{
// UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
// initWithTitle: #"OAuth Starter Kit"
// message: #"You must add your apikey and secretkey. See the project file readme.txt"
// delegate: nil
// cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
// otherButtonTitles:nil];
// [alert show];
// [alert release];
//
// // Notify parent and close this view
// [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
// postNotificationName:#"loginViewDidFinish"
// object:self
// userInfo:self.profile];
// [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
[self requestTokenFromProvider];
}
- (void)shareImp
{
NSLog(#"share Imp called ");
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/shares"];
OAMutableURLRequest *request =[[OAMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url
consumer:consumer
token:self.accessToken
callback:nil
signatureProvider:nil];
NSMutableDictionary *contents=[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[contents setValue:#"description goes here" forKey:#"description"];
[contents setValue:#"www.google.com" forKey:#"submitted-url"];
[contents setValue:#"title goes here" forKey:#"title"];
[contents setValue:#"http://economy.blog.ocregister.com/files/2009/01/linkedin-logo.jpg" forKey:#"submitted-image-url"];
NSMutableDictionary *visible=[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[visible setValue:#"anyone" forKey:#"code"];
NSMutableDictionary *updatedic=[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[updatedic setObject:visible forKey:#"visibility"];
[updatedic setObject:contents forKey:#"content"];
[updatedic setValue:#"Check out the LinkedIn Share API!" forKey:#"comment"];
NSMutableData *data = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
NSKeyedArchiver *archiver = [[NSKeyedArchiver alloc] initForWritingWithMutableData:data];
[archiver encodeObject:updatedic forKey:#"share"];
[archiver finishEncoding];
[archiver release];
NSLog(#"post dictionary is %#",updatedic);
NSData *postData=[NSData dataWithData:data];
[request setValue:#"json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"x-li-format"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",[postData length]] forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
OADataFetcher *fetcher = [[OADataFetcher alloc] init];
[fetcher fetchDataWithRequest:request
delegate:self
didFinishSelector:#selector(postUpdateApiCallResult:didFinish:)
didFailSelector:#selector(postUpdateApiCallResult:didFail:)];
[request release];
}
- (void)postUpdateApiCallResult:(OAServiceTicket *)ticket didFinish:(NSData *)data
{
NSLog(#"did finish called ");
NSString *responseBody = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"response body after posting is %#",responseBody);
[responseBody release];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
- (void)postUpdateApiCallResult:(OAServiceTicket *)ticket didFail:(NSData *)error
{
NSLog(#"%#",[error description]);
}

By using Sharekit frame work we are able to post the video URL in LinkedIn.for that we can pass url as a string,
SHKItem *shareItem = [SHKItem text:text];
[SHKLinkedIn shareItem:shareItem];
