I have implemented Facebook share kit to my app and it works as intended, but if the user installed Facebook official iPhone app it messes up my app because it logins through Facebook iPhone app instead of share kit default login. Is there way to make share kit ignore Facebook official iPhone app?
No, there is no such method. You just have to use the latest Facebook API provided by the Apple. That may solve your problem of not detecting the login from app.

Since iOS has built in Facebook sharing (via UIActivityViewController), I'm easily able to post without including the FB SDK. However, when I post to my timeline, I want it to say "via AppName". Do I have to add the sdk to my app or is there a simpler way of doing this?
No, you will have to create a Facebook App and use the iOS SDK.
I am creating an app on iOS and i came across a scenario if a person does not have the facebook app installed but has Facebook. how does the game app handle that. you can only play the game if and only if you have facebook account?
You can use Single Sign On in Facebook.
So that the facebook will authenticate its user through facebook app if its installed otherwise through the safari.
Here is the Link also here.
Happy coding :)
If you targeted the older versions (below ios6) use Graph API.
If you targeted for newer version (ios 6 and above) use the native method
I have a problem to connect facebook app with my app.
I don't know much about facebook sdk, so I simply copy & paste from the facebook sample app.
(i only need upload image with some text).
it works well unless facebook app is installed on the device, but if a device has facebook app, it seems like can't get the login information.
I think it is because of facebook app doesn't ask auth for my app unlike safari browser.
What do I have to do?
Please Download the latest version of Facebook app (4.1.1) from app store. The Single Sign On(SSO) only supports in the latest version of Facebook application.
Im wondering if its possible to link my app with the native facebook iphone-app without using iOS at all.
It was pretty easy to create a mobile version and connect it with the m.facebook.com (so it appears in the broswer) through the Developer > Mobile Web URL but it doesnt work/recognize with the native app of facebook.
Is there a way to connect the native iOS FB to my app without creating an app? So it redirects automatically to the browser?
Im trying to avoid to create an iOS app.
Thanks a lot!
If the Application is linked to in news story or post then the App will open in in a browser.
For full integration you'll need a App.
(I don't have a iOS app to test, only pure web app and after posting the apps.facebook.com link to a wall, that link in App opened in the in built web browser).
I have looked at the facebook iphone api and watched the tutorial they offer but an not sure if one needs to have a facebook app as well to be able to connect an iphone app to facebook.
I would like to allow my users to be able to share things on their profile. e.g. set their status from within my iphone app.
How is this done?
Try the Facebook iPhone SDK
--edit--
You need to register your application to use the API.
