FBWebDialog without friend list - iphone

Question

In my app I want to use FBWebDialog to send "app request" to the multiple users. But I dont want to select those users from the list which comes with the FBWebDialog. I just want to pass the friends from the FBfriendpicker viewcontroller to the FBWebDialog and send them from there. is it possible? How can I do that? Thanks.

Answer 1

You need to set the "to" parameter as documented in two pages referenced below, it will disable the drop down friend list and send to only one targeted audience
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/send-requests-using-ios-sdk/
Sending targeted requests
You can filter the suggested list down or target one user. To filter
down the list you can pass in a parameter, suggestions that contains a
comma-separated list of friends to show in the selection. To target
one recipient, pass that user's ID in a to parameter
And also documented on request dialog page
to A user ID or username, or a comma-separated list of them. These may
or may not be a friend of the sender. If this is specified by the app,
the sender will not have a choice of recipients. If not, the sender
will see a multi-friend selector and will be able to select a maximum
of 50 recipients. (Due to URL length restrictions, the maximum number
of recipients is 25 in IE7/IE8 when using a non-iframe dialog.)
Another documentation in games section of facebook with picture
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/tutorials/ios-sdk-games/requests/
NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
// 2. Optionally provide a 'to' param to direct the request at
#"286400088", #"to", // Ali
nil];

Answer 2

Upgrad from 3.2 to 3.5.1 in part to allow me to use frictionless friend requests. The process works fine with:
NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:nil];
FBFrictionlessRecipientCache *friendCache = [[FBFrictionlessRecipientCache alloc] init];
[friendCache prefetchAndCacheForSession:nil];
[FBWebDialogs presentRequestsDialogModallyWithSession:[FBSession activeSession]
message:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"I just posted an action - give me some points!"]
title:#"Get Points from your friends"
parameters:params
handler:^(FBWebDialogResult result, NSURL *resultURL, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
// Case A: Error launching the dialog or sending request.
NSLog(#"Error sending request.");
} else {
if (result == FBWebDialogResultDialogNotCompleted) {
// Case B: User clicked the "x" icon
NSLog(#"User canceled request.");
} else {
NSLog(#"Request Sent.");
}
}}
friendCache:friendCache];
