I am new to iPhone development. I’ve added Facebook sharing functionality and I also want to add the Like feature from Facebook. I’ve followed one of the examples; it works if Facebook sharing functionality hasn’t been implemented, because some files create contradiction (specifically FBRequest.h). But I want to add both sets of functionality at the same time. Any suggestions?
If you are new then its not a issue. Everybody have same brain. So its not a big issue. Check

First of all understand it then implement it. I know you will surely implement this in Your
App. Best of luck.

i am using sharekit open source for facebook/twitter sharing , and also Google maps for displaying the maps and all that stuff like driving directions, current location, annotations etc etc in my iPhone application . i just want to know about its acceptance on itunes by apple.
Does Apple Approve share kit?
Can google maps be used in iPhone??
Please give me any idea about it
Thanks
Even though ShareKit is hopelessly dated and not updated since ages (last update over a year ago), there still is no reason for Apple to not approve your app when using it. Personally, I would strongly advise to not use ShareKit as it is super buggy and did not keep up with the latest changes on Twitter's API but that is your choice.
Google Maps also is not a show-stopper at all. As said by others, there are many Apps on the AppStore using it.
I need to share one video url getting from my server in twitter.
And my app must be compatible for both ios 4.0 and ios 5.0.
I know that there is twitter+oauth library for ios 4.0 and twitter inbuilt library for ios 5.0. And my functionality is twitter library need to ask user credentials only once for twitter authentication and need to post that video url in background with out asking user permission.
From the second time onwards video must posted in background.
As per my knowledge we have different libraries we need to use but is there any solution that do implemant my task with one library.
Please help me.
For a beautiful implementation, check out DETweetComposeViewController.
It will provide you with a UI that looks almost identical to what iOS5 users now are growing accustomed to. The great point is, it works on iOS4 and iOS5 flawlessly.
GetShareKit was a basic library created by Nate Weiner that's now outdated. If you check it's GitHub source, the last commit was sometime in 2010. This version is buggy and has about 20+ compile warnings. this uses an older version of the Facebook and Twitter sharing mechanisms that are now deprecated and also, buggy. Clicking Twitter's "Share", for eg, won't dismiss the sharing dialog.
So, a bunch of developers forked off the original library and now maintain what's called ShareKit 2.0 SDK. If you check the wiki, you'll learn that all new services like Foursquare, LinkedIn, InstaPaper, EverNote have been added to this new version. Happy Coding!
I've been researching the latest ways to integrate Twitter into my app and it appears the best (most painless) approach is to use the MGTwitterEngine, and the best tutorial I could find to implement this is a 3-part series. If all I need to do is allow the user to login to their twitter account and post a single tweet that's always the same, is there an easier way to do that than following the tutorial I linked to?
Thanks so much for your wisdom. If the alternatives aren't much easier, no problem, I'm not so lazy that I can't follow a tutorial, I was just wondering if there's a quicker way that I didn't see.
Create a button that opens a UIWebView when clicked. Build the URL using details here: http://twitter.com/about/resources/tweetbutton. Simple - about 10 lines of code.
I'm a big fan of st3fan's (Stefan Arentz) https://github.com/st3fan/iphone-twitter project. It's very easy to integrate and includes whole views that you can just use, easily customizable too.
Plan your Twitter implementation ahead - with an iPhone project you will want to use xAuth authentication which does not require a round trip to the web browser.* You have to first register your app and then request permission for your application to use this method. Check the Twitter developer pages for more details.
*or not. But I hate leaving the app to post tweets.
I want to build an application that gets updates from online websites like Twitter or Facebook. Currently, I haven't even got a clue on how to do this.
Also, in certain applications, like Doodle Jump, I have seen updates that pop up. Some other applications have a news section that gets updated often. How is it done? Any tutorial or working code will be very helpful.
There is a good tutorial I used to do this with ASP.NET.
I'm going to guess that you are interested in building an iPhone app. I don't know if you have any experience working with objective-c or the iPhone SDK, but here is a nice tutorial that touches on some of the concepts you will need.

I want to create a community for my venture and also an iphone application for the same. I am thinking of using Buddypress for the community.
But is it possible to use buddypress with an iPhone app? I'd like that when user posts a message via the iPhone app, it is also posted on buddypress? Or do I have to write custom scripts for editing the buddypress db according to user actions in the iPhone app?
Thanks.
I remember reading about a plugin for BuddyPress, called BPDEV XMLRPC that allows you to communicate with BuddyPress via XMLRPC. I'm not sure if it's out of the development trunk yet, but it seems like you could use that to post messages to BuddyPress from an iPhone app. bp-dev.org seems to be down at the moment, but I read about it there.
It's entirely possible to do -- but will require some heavy development work. Would have to modify heavily a child theme and do lots of stuff to make it work. Let me know if you find anything that works.
