I was ussing Facbook connect in my iPhone app, but in december the posts stopped working. After some research I found that i'm supossed to use stream.publish, something like:
NSString *att = #"{\"bob\":\"i\'m happy\",\"caption\": \"User rated the internet 5 stars\", \"description\": \"a giant cat\"}";
NSDictionary *attachment = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:att forKey:#"attachment"];
[[FBRequest requestWithDelegate:self] call:#"facebook.stream.publish" params:attachment];
Which i think it's correct, but the posts still don't work. Someone told me that i need to get publish_stream extended permission from the user, but i dont know how to do that.
Present the FBPermission dialog and ask the user for the extended permission
FBPermissionDialog* dialog = [[[FBPermissionDialog alloc] initWithSession:session] autorelease];
dialog.delegate = self;
dialog.permission = #"publish_stream";
[dialog show];

Is it possible to post something on a users friends wall, without having to get all the friends first (So you can get the friend id)?
[facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"me/friends" andDelegate:self];
See this
-(IBAction)PostToBuddyWall
{
NSMutableDictionary *postVariablesDictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[postVariablesDictionary setObject:#"LOL" forKey:#"name"];
[postVariablesDictionary setObject:self.postTextView.text forKey:#"message"];
[objDelegate.facebook requestWithGraphPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/feed",friendId] andParams:postVariablesDictionary andHttpMethod:#"POST" andDelegate:nil];
NSLog(#"message: %#",postVariablesDictionary);
[postVariablesDictionary release];
UIAlertView *facebookAlter=[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Message" message:#"Posted successfully on facebook" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil, nil];
[facebookAlter show];
[facebookAlter release];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
You can get the friends of the logged in user by issuing a request to me/friends.
Then you can create a ui element that shows the list of friends and the user can select the ones he want to share with.
Then, after the user selected you simply post on their walls by issuing a POST to FRIEND_ID/feed (Feed connection of the User object).
You'll need to have the publish_stream permissions which lets you: Enables your app to post content, comments, and likes to a user's stream and to the streams of the user's friends (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions/)
I know - I have read the documentation - but frankly Facebook is horrible at it. I can't figure out how to send a request that illicits a response. Here's what I'm trying:
NSURL *fbID = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://graph.facebook.com/me?fields=id"];
fbUserID = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: fbID];
Where should this code go? Is there a specific class it is looking for if I have set 'self' as delegate?
How are you trying to integrate FB into your app? I have been looking into Facebook connect recently and found their documentation very helpful (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/mobile/#ios). I know you said you looked at the documentation, but for me after going through their steps for iOS I was able to make an app that allowed users to sign in and give me access to their basic information, including ID. After going through authorization, I had the following code in my app delegate:
- (void) fbDidLogin {
//get information about the currently logged in user
[facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"me" andDelegate:self];
}
- (void)request:(FBRequest *)request didLoad:(id)result {
NSString *name = [result objectForKey:#"name"];
NSString *msg = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"To prove this works, your name is %#",name];
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Thanks for Logging In!"
message:msg
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
This gets the user's full name after logging in and displays it. You can do the same thing for getting their ID.
No Matter what i do, i cannot get a post published to an application page wall (the app being logged into) via an iPhone application. I'm able to log in using FBLoginDialog and then retrieve data to populate a tableview, however when i click a button to publish some test content it doesn't work. Here is the button action:
- (void)compose:(id)sender;
{
NSString *tid=#"115372005166292";
NSString *body = #"My Test";
NSArray *obj = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:body,[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", tid],nil];
NSArray *keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"message",#"target_id",nil];
NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:obj forKeys:keys];
[[FBRequest requestWithDelegate:self] call:#"facebook.stream.publish" params:params];
}
I have also used the FBStreamDialog which works, however i'm faced with two issues there. The dialog lacks customization and i'm unable to handle the callback when the item is posted (e.g. reload the tableview)
I've been searching the internet and all of the examples are similar to the code above, so i'm not sure what i could be missing.
Thanks
You need to ask for extended permissions. After login show this:
FBPermissionDialog* dialog = [[[FBPermissionDialog alloc] init] autorelease];
dialog.delegate = self;
dialog.permission = #"status_update";
[dialog show];

I am new to iphone development, i want to display the permission page after logging facebook.
buttonIndex is the index of my actionsheets.
if(buttonIndex == 1)
{
session = [FBSession sessionForApplication:#"My App key" secret:#"My Key" delegate:self];
FBLoginDialog* dialog = [[[FBLoginDialog alloc] initWithSession:session] autorelease];
[dialog show];
}
by using those code successfully loggin to facebook, but i want to permission page to display,
so i can use,
- (void)session:(FBSession*)session didLogin:(FBUID)uid
{
NSLog(#"User with id %lld logged in.", uid);
FBPermissionDialog* dialog1 = [[[FBPermissionDialog alloc] init] autorelease];
dialog1.delegate = self;
dialog1.permission = #"uid";
[dialog1 show];
}
But its not working. Where can i put that code.
And I want to share my content after the permission allowed.
If i logout the facebook, it goes to the browser but i want to return my application after logout,
Please help me out, guide me plz.
I would change this dialog1.permission = #"uid"; to something like this
dialog1.permission = #"publish_stream";. Because you want to publish your content to the users stream, right?
- (void)session:(FBSession*)session didLogin:(FBUID)uid
After loggin in I would first check if you might already have the permission to publish to the user's stream, by creating a FBRequest
NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: #"publish_stream", #"ext_perm", nil];
[[FBRequest requestWithDelegate:self] call:#"facebook.users.hasAppPermission" params:params];
The result you can evaluate here
- (void)request:(FBRequest*)request didLoad:(id)result
e.g. like this
if ([request.method isEqualToString:#"facebook.users.hasAppPermission"])
{
NSString *success = result;
if ([success isEqualToString:#"1"])
{
NSLog(#"User has app permission");
// publish content now
...
}
else
{ // else ask for permission, opening permission dialog
...
}
I highly recommend this guy's tutorial, Brandon Treb, on integrating Facebook. He does a very thorough presentation and takes you line-by-line, so if it does not work, its a typo on your part. His tutorial got me up and running in less than two hours.

I want to post some message on Facebook wall.
I am able to log in and connect with Facebook from iPhone. But I have hard luck to finding out the solution.
Can you please tell me how I can achieve this functionality?
Assuming that you have a valid FBSession Object:
FBStreamDialog* dialog = [[[FBStreamDialog alloc] init] autorelease];
dialog.delegate = self; dialog.userMessagePrompt = #"Example prompt";
dialog.attachment = #"{\"name\":\"Facebook Connect for iPhone\"," "\"href
\":\"http://developers.facebook.com/connect.php?tab=iphone\"," "\"caption\":\"Caption
\",\"description\":\"Description\"," "\"media\":[{\"type\":\"image\"," "\"src
\":\"http://img40.yfrog.com/img40/5914/iphoneconnectbtn.jpg\"," "\"href
\":\"http://developers.facebook.com/connect.php?tab=iphone/\"}]," "\"properties \":{\"another link\":{\"text\":\"Facebook home page\",\"href\":\"http://www.facebook.com\"}}}"; // replace this with a friend's UID // dialog.targetId = #"999999";
[dialog show];
