I would like to upload to an album and share the uploaded photo via the FB sharing mechanism on my and/or friends' walls.
I'm using Appcelerator Titanium to develop my app, but I'm also happy with an Objective C example since the procedure is pretty much the same.
I achieved the upload of the photo to my album, but I can't find anything about sharing, neither in the official documentation, nor elsewhere on the web.
If you are using 1.6 or higher then the Titanium FB module is built to use OG and you can follow the instructions in this similar question.

I am wondering how to share video from Instagram to Twitter, so that it shows up as a native twitter video. There are multiple apps on IFTTT, but they only work for pictures and not videos.
Has anyone else had this same issue?
I've tried e-mailing the developers, but no luck.
Also there's not as much information available through Google, as I assume this is relatively new thing.
Sadly, IFTTT don't support Twitter videos. These are the only actions they support:
If you're interested in programming something yourself, you can look at the Twitter API for uploading media.
Good luck :-)
As Terence said, IFTTT integrations only support photos.
Alternatively, you can use tweetgram.me to automatically share your Instagram photos and videos as native Tweets.
TweetGram supports videos fully and is free to use.

I have a nokia Qt application (QtQuick QML App) that should share an image on facebook and twitter . is there is any way to do that ?
Simple answer, yes.
Long answer, yes. You'll need to decide how you want to post it but both Facebook and Twitter have exposed APIs for uploading images to their services, or you can post it off to an image hosting service like YFrog or TwitPic then use the returned URL with the Facebook & Twitter APIs to share the link.
I'm not sure on Facebook but there's definitely a Twitter Qt library that'll play nice, I'd assume there's one for Facebook but I've never had need to look into one.
Edit: here's the Qt Twitter lib I've looked at before, had to dig into my GitHub bookmarks https://github.com/minimoog/QTweetLib.
you can do actions on Facebook as well as described on Facebook Graph
that api can be used by javascript QML
I am currently developing a new website / facebook app for an online magic competition. I am hoping most of the functionality can come from Facebook's own services, and would like your feedback on how plausible our goals are.
Essentially there will be two types of users: magicians and voters. Magicians will upload a video of them performing a trick (or select a video they have already uploaded). Voters will vote for their favourite magicians, and be able to post these videos to their wall.
Are these possible:
Video upload to Facebook - I have had a search, but the only method I found uses the depreciated REST API. Is there a newer implementation?
Video download - After a user has uploaded a video are they (or can we) able to download their video from Facebook?
Embedding magicians Facebook videos on the standalone website?
Thank you in advance
You can still upload videos and photos using the graph api. We have done this into galleries for a number of clients.
see here for a picture example (works with other media objects such as videos):
Is it possible to post a status update and adding an image file with facebook graph API?
The problems you may face though are the issues of managing and approving content in the site.
One solution we have found is to combine YouTube API and Facebook to get the best of both worlds. you can now embed a YouTube uploader in your site / app which will post videos into a channel of yours but have an approval app to control what lands. Then add any voting mechanism of your choice to the stream of videos. You can use YouTube likes, Facebook likes or your own. Take a look at this video:

You can embed a YouTube channel into Facebook easily too:

Also using youtube, you can spread your net farther to reach more of an audience.
Hope this can be of some help. (No, I don't work for YouTube just find using more than one platform better)
I've been trying to integrate my app with Soundcloud, but I'm just finding that impossible and way too difficult, and there are no good tutorials out there. Are there any other ways to upload audio files to facebook for playback? Any other services besides Soundcloud? Or does anyone know a useful tutorial for setting up Soundcloud with iOS?
you can use their api to do what you want. first upload the audio file to soundcloud and then post the link to the file on facebook.
here is a link to iOS sharing and here is a link to the soundcloud api wrapper.
iOS sharing will help you post the link to Facebook.
This is kind of cheating, but you could upload your "audio" to youtube, and then use the facebook api to post the link (pretty easy using facebook api). Uploading to youtube would have better support, like this
The soundcloud instructions here aren't terrible, a little tricky at first. Perhaps you could share with us what you've done on these three requirements. Where are you getting stuck?
1)Getting the users connections
2)Provide UI for choosing connections (public sharing) or mail addresses (private sharing)
3)Upload the file
EDIT
Additionaly, here is a useful tutorial link for soundcloud uploading
Both SoundCloud and Facebook have Cocoa wrappers and tutorial for their APIs:
SoundCloud Cocoa API Wrapper + tuts
Facebook iOS Tutorial
Hope these help.
It's not a code question.
I've found a nice tool online few months ago and now I cannot remember it's name/address. Maybe you know.
I've found a great sample application integrating most of the social services - Facebook, twitter, TwitPic, myspace and so on.
So you only had to add few classes to your project, fill the appIDs, sercret codes and you were ready to use all of them (with a standard UI) without spending countless hours implementing every single one on my own.
Maybe you remember where I can find this app? It was great.

Czest,
I found this..http://three20.info/ hope it can help.
You might be thinking of ShareKit. It can be found at this URL: ShareKit
I have found ShareKit very easy to use.
check out http://www.gigya.com/social-login/ , i think this is the best option to date.
There are a couple of UIImagePicker replacements out there that support loading photos from other services:
GrabKit is an iOS Objective-C library offering simple and unified methods to retrieve photo albums on Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, iPhone/iPad and Instagram
https://github.com/pierrotsmnrd/grabKit
Photo Picker+ a new free library for iOS that replaces the native photo chooser to let users select a photo from Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, or Instagram, in addition to the local Camera Roll or Photo Stream.
