Facebook Open Graph support

[colinhumber]

Hi! I've updated the Facebook SDK to the new SDK with Open Graph support (https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk). Includes Single Sign-on support. Tested all FB share types (URL, photo, and text) on devices that support and don't support multitasking. Also modified URL sharing to share as a link instead of straight text.

Sweet, this looks awesome! I'll try try it out and get back to you.

It looks and works pretty awesome.

Also, this has made my week.

Nice job.

Hm. I think that Facebook should default to not auto share, that is:

• (BOOL)shouldAutoShare {
   return NO; // FBConnect presented its own dialog, but since we're no longer using it anymore this might be useful
  }

Especially since FBConnect doesn't present it's dialog anymore.

Pretty cool stuff.

One thing though, I really hate Facebook's new single sign on system so I'm simply using the new sdk, but old dialog for entering username/password.

The system is just too complex and requires too much testing on different devices and OS versions...

If anyone's interested I do it like this:
Under facebook.m edit the method - (void)authorizeWithFBAppAuth:(BOOL)tryFBAppAuth safariAuth:(BOOL)trySafariAuth

And simply set both of the booleans to no at the the very beginning of the method:

- (void)authorizeWithFBAppAuth:(BOOL)tryFBAppAuth
                    safariAuth:(BOOL)trySafariAuth {
//To disable facebook single sign on:
    tryFBAppAuth = NO;
    trySafariAuth = NO;

bobbypage, I disagree as it's easier for the user NOT to type a user and pass. it might be a testing hell but it's heaven for end users.

Hey,

I've added the option to enable or disable Facebook Single Sign-on directly from SHKConfig.h in my pull request: #138

This evernote config probably wasn't intended to be part of your pull request.

Cool pull request. I'm looking forward to this ending up in the master.

@colinhumber With this pull, all I see is my news feed. I am just trying to share the text but it doesn't seem to work at all. Any ideas?

@Objective-Zero I was having the same issue, ShareKit kicks over to the Facebook app which checks that your app is authenticated, but if you don't have a URL handler set up correctly it won't go back to your app. The instructions in the facebook api docs are out of date. Add a URL type in Xcode under YourAppTarget->Info->URL Types.
Should be straightforward... all you need is an identifier (whatever you want) and a url scheme (something like fb1232914892189412 but with your facebook app id instead of 1232914892189412)

I am doing some work on app code that was not originally mine. We are having the problem that users cannot login to Facebook through ShareKit, as it returns to the login screen with "To use Facebook, please select your Setting app - Safari - Accept Cookies - From visited". That setting is already set. From what I've read in this and related threads, it's a common problem that this pull might fix by using Facebook OpenGraph support, but I'm not clear on how I should be taking advantage of that. Unfortunately, it's not convenient to keep switching between versions, as there was some custom code added by prior developers of this app. I'm hoping someone can clarify what the issue is with Facebook, or point me to some other prior threads if they exist. Of course, I'm looking for the path of least resistance, and want to change as little as possible in the clients code to avoid regressions.

I haven't had the time to work on the new Facebook support on this request due to work taking up pretty much all my time. There are a number of forks that have put in some great work on this, as well as the new Twitter support in iOS 5. Check out https://github.com/polydice/ShareKit, for example.

I actually just saw that ShareKit was moved to another repo at https://github.com/ShareKit/ShareKit.
