Question

I have written code to post content to linkedIn wall and it is working fine if I remove content dictionary from update dictionary. See the below code containing post data:
- (IBAction)postUpdate
{
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/shares"];
OAMutableURLRequest *request =
[[OAMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url
consumer:oAuthLoginView.consumer
token:oAuthLoginView.accessToken
callback:nil
signatureProvider:nil];
NSDictionary *content=[[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:#"http://www.celebs101.com/wallpapers/Bruce_Lee/421101/Bruce_Lee_Wallpaper.jpg",#"submitted-image-url",#"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoZ2Be2zLq8",#"submitted-url",#"Post Image and Video testing",#"title",#"Posted Description",#"description",nil];
NSDictionary *update = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:
[[NSDictionary alloc]
initWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"anyone",#"code",nil], #"visibility",
#"Test posting to linkedIn", #"comment",content,#"content",nil];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
NSString *updateString = [update JSONString];
[request setHTTPBodyWithString:updateString];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
OADataFetcher *fetcher = [[OADataFetcher alloc] init];
[fetcher fetchDataWithRequest:request
delegate:self
didFinishSelector:#selector(postUpdateApiCallResult:didFinish:)
didFailSelector:#selector(postUpdateApiCallResult:didFail:)];
}
Post data comes in didfinishSelector is :
data after posting is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

I have solved it
working code to post on LinkedIn as follows:
- (IBAction)postUpdate
{
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/shares"];
OAMutableURLRequest *request =
[[OAMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url
consumer:oAuthLoginView.consumer
token:oAuthLoginView.accessToken
callback:nil
signatureProvider:nil];
NSMutableDictionary *contentDic=[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[contentDic setValue:#"http://www.celebs101.com/wallpapers/Bruce_Lee/421101/Bruce_Lee_Wallpaper.jpg" forKey:#"submitted-image-url"];
[contentDic setValue:#"http://www.linkedin.com" forKey:#"submitted-url"];
[contentDic setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"A title for your share"] forKey:#"title"];
NSDictionary *update = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:
[[NSDictionary alloc]
initWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"anyone",#"code",nil], #"visibility",
#"Test posting to linkedIn",#"comment",contentDic,#"content",nil];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
NSString *updateString = [update JSONString];
NSLog(#"json string is %#",updateString);
[request setHTTPBodyWithString:updateString];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
OADataFetcher *fetcher = [[OADataFetcher alloc] init];
[fetcher fetchDataWithRequest:request
delegate:self
didFinishSelector:#selector(postUpdateApiCallResult:didFinish:)
didFailSelector:#selector(postUpdateApiCallResult:didFail:)];
}
- (void)postUpdateApiCallResult:(OAServiceTicket *)ticket didFinish:(NSData *)data
{
NSString *myString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"data after posting is %#",myString);
}
- (void)postUpdateApiCallResult:(OAServiceTicket *)ticket didFail:(NSData *)error
{
NSLog(#"%#",[error description]);
}

If you are getting that type of error:
So it may be because of post url in "submitted-url" key.
So an easy way to do this first make the post_url for "submitted-url" short using this link( http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=post_url). And then use this short post_url for "submitted-url" value. This can be a solution of your problem.
Sometimes long url for "submitted-url" key cause a that kind of problem.
